"When researching a career in medicine it became clear that the medical profession needed a community that offered support and services for mothers, such as myself, pursuing a medical career. I created MomMD.com to offer a wealth of information and services for mothers in medicine", said Sethina Edwards, founder of MomMD, LLC. "MomMD.com is invaluable for all women practicing or studying medicine and for those contemplating a medical career."

MomMD allows women to have their personal and professional concerns answered by peers, advisors and women further along in their medical careers. Through discussion groups, mentoring, articles and online polls community members can learn from women who have experienced dealing with maternity leave, childcare, family life, stress, medical school, and career development. MomMD.com also offers physician job opportunities, a medical book store, details on CME courses, admissions advice, newsletters, mentoring, and medical school listings.

"Prior to the launch of MomMD.com there wasn't anywhere for this unique group of women in medicine to turn. Many general women's, parenting or medical sites don't address the specific challenges and needs of women doctors and medical students," said Edwards.

MomMD.com has fostered a sense of community with an increasing membership. MomMD is providing services and support for thousands of mothers in medicine, filling a much needed and neglected role in the medical community.
