a few lucky residents and fellows are finally finished with training!

August is a great month!

Here at the iMSN, there are lots of changes taking place too!  We are in the process of completely updating our forum software to finally integrate the wishes of many of our users.

For the first time, we are offering members the opportunity to open up local groups in their own states to share information about the area that they live in with other iMSN members.  This is a really exciting addition that will put an end to the area reviews and offer people the opportunity to get up-to-date information about the city that they are moving to, to meet people in the city, and for spouses to potentially plan local meetings independent of the website.

To have a look at one of the newest groups, visit the Shreveport Group, run by Michele:
www.medicalspouse.com/community/groups/entry/Shreveport

If you are willing to become a community leader, please take the time to jump in and start your own group. If your area already has a group, please join in to support the group leader! We are currently running the Beta version of the website and will gladly help with any problems or issues that you have getting your own group started.  Many leaders are needed.  Please consider starting a group to provide useful information and establish connections with local spouses!

In addition, a new forum chat software is being tested.  Stay tuned for information about scheduled chats.  In the coming days, it will be possible to chat privately in real-time with members individually or to participate in larger, unmoderated group chats.

There is also space now for our pictures of get-togethers and we all have personal galleries for hosting some of our favorite pictures and music!
