What are UPDATES?
- “Updates” is the new section SoMeDocs is experimenting with. We hope that this will be a quicker, more seamless way to share the latest news, content, & resources we’re featuring (especially the time-sensitive things) with all of you.
- We have two different Update sections – one specifically for doctors and the other (what you’re on now), for a general audience. every week, we hope to have a new update up for you. You’ll be able to find it here, through our website, publicly accessible. You’ll also receive it as an email newsletter, if you’re subscribed (which you should be!!), as a reminder.
- It’s best to view the updates on our website, since the design on this site can’t always be reproduced in an email, so we recommend you click into the website and read. Yay!!
