Los Angeles, CA — June 13, 2002— MomMD, LLC (www.MomMD.com) today launched a new version of its online community for women physicians, medical students and premedical students. The website provides professional and personal resources for the growing number of women in medicine, especially those seeking a better balance between career and family responsibilities.
“Since our initial launch three years ago we have seen a significant increase in our membership. More and more of our members are discussing the stress of juggling a medical career and raising family,” said Sethina Edwards, president and founder of MomMD, LLC. “As a result we have re-launched our site to add many new services and articles for our rapidly growing membership base. Visitors can have their personal and professional concerns answered by peers, advisors and women further along in their medical careers. Through our new discussion groups, mentoring program, and articles, members can learn from other women who have experienced dealing with maternity leave, childcare, family life, stress, medical school, and the subsequent career consequences of being a woman in medicine. We have also added a Woman of the Month Award to honor and celebrate the work of women in medicine.”

“MomMD.com continues to be a valuable resource for any woman in medicine today,” said Donnica Moore, M.D., MomMD member and president of DrDonnica.com. “MomMD is providing services and support for thousands of women doctors and medical students, filling a much needed and neglected role in the medical community.” MomMD has over 2000 members and provides online services to over 20,000 visitors each month.
