Here are some answers to the most common questions we're asked.
How much does it cost?
It's free to join the network, and always will be.
The point of the network isn't to make money, but rather to connect people to their peers, as well as opportunities and information they may need in the future.
Since much of what we do is free, it is very easy to provide this service. The remaining costs are covered by Clear Medical Solutions, a healthcare consulting company that utilizes the network to do industry research and match consulting talent (members who opt-in) with healthcare organizations that are looking for top talent.
What would be a reason not to join?
If you are planning on staying in your current position with the same employer until full retirement, and do not need any peer support from others in your situation and industry or keep up on industry news, then this network may not be for you. Other than that, there is really no downside:
Who can join the network?
All professionals that work in the healthcare industry are welcome to join. All people that join the network are reviewed and designated into their specific area of our industry. The only people that are not invited to participate are sales professionals, recruiters, or others who do not actually work in the specialty areas of the network.
What sort of networking groups will I be invited to join?
We help manage some of the best free Social Medicine forums and groups on the internet. These peer forums are found on Linkedin, Facebook, and similar platforms. In addition to the groups, we also have communities of Twitter users and Bloggers that provide great updates and information about our industry as it evolves.
What kind of events will I be invited to?
The Clear Medical Network sponsors an annual cruise every year for members of the network. In addition, we are active sponsors of Nurses Night Out, the HIM Circle, Doctor's Day Off, Pharmacy Fun, Social Worker Social, and other specialty events to have some fun and thank or support healthcare industry professionals.
The network also serves as a conduit for inviting others to events which you may be hosting in your area.
How many people are part of the network?
Our network currently has contact with over 60,000 professionals in our industry, and that number is growing every day.
Is my contact information safe?
The Clear Medical Network does not share your contact information with anyone outside of our organization. We know how annoying spam and unwanted phone calls can be, and we take a great deal of care to keep your information private.
What sort of professionals are eligible to join the network?
