Medical Mingle launched on September 24, 2007, and was created based on an idea that I had. There are social networks like Facebook and MySpace, and there are professional networks like LinkedIn. However, there are very few hybrid networks that include both social and professional components. As this is a niche network for the health care/medical field, including health care/medical professionals, individuals that service the health care/medical field, as well as students studying to become health care/medical professionals, I saw no reason why both components couldn't successfully reside on the same site. If people strictly wish to utilize the social components of Medical Mingle, they can. If people strictly wish to utilize the professional aspects of Medical Mingle, they can do so as well. If people want to use both the social and professional aspects of the site, they are then tapping Medical Mingle's full potential.
My company (CJ Ventures, Inc.) owns Absolutely Health Care, the largest niche job board on the Internet for health care/medical jobs: http://www.healthjobsusa.com, as well as a number of other services that help job seekers find jobs, and companies to find job seekers. For a full list of our products and services, visit my welcome page: http://www.medicalmingle.com/kenjlev021858.
My goal in creating Medical Mingle was to create a site where health care/medical professionals, and those individuals that service the health care/medical field can hang out, make friends and have fun interacting, network, and find/create content that can be helpful both personally and professionally. Of course, when it's time to look for job, links to Absolutely Health Care appear on Medical Mingle, and Medical Mingle visitors and members are welcome to use Absolutely Health Care to find a new job.
To me, it's a Win-Win for every Medical Mingle member, and every CJ Ventures, Inc./Absolutely Health Care client.
We welcome your feeback about this concept and effort, and always welcome your ideas for additional forums, groups, and other content.
Sincerely,
Ken Levinson

Hi Ken,
ValerieGlad to find a site geared to the medical field. I've been an RN for over 30 years and am always encouraging others to become a part of the best field in the world. :>)
There are so many opportunities available. I hope to share some of these possibilities with others.
I'm having trouble joining the groups. I'd like to join the one for leaders and for nursing. I would love to provide content.
The directions you provide in your invitation don't seem to work for me. I click on Groups but the Join Group doesn't let me join. Can't find a place to signup for the group.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Valerie
