It is clear that we all are fostering and "walking a new path": Social Media in Healthcare, as a new and radical paradigm.
During 09 I have had the fortunate to meet many individuals sharing this common ground an looking forward to overcome the wall of the establishment - status quo in Healthcare communications.
I am joining social networks like this one, and participate in tweetups around the HCSM topic.
I wonder if it is time to give an step ahead and try to found a kind of SM global council. Together we will be stronger in pursuing our goal.
I will appreciate all your views to this question.
Thanks so much in advance.
Stay in touch. Spread the word.

Interesting Idea

Thanks for your question. I think this is an interesing idea. I know that here in the U.S. WOMMA and organizations like it have taken the lead in getting marketing communications folks together to discuss and act on issues related to the field of social media marketing.
In the social marketing arena, folks are getting together to develop a global assocation, so the idea has merit. Perhaps the place to start would be to look at what other global marketing communications organizations are doing in health marketing and see if/where the need is.
If I have time this week, I'll take a look at see if I can find anything. Let me know if you find anything on this as well.
Best,
Fard
