Facts about the Pennsylvania Medical Society Website
How do I log in to www.pamedsoc.org?
If you had a username and password on our old website, you may use that. However, if you have never logged into our website, you will need to Create an Account. This includes choosing a username and password and providing an email address that is not being used by another person on our database. If you’re a member, logging in gives you access to a wider range of useful information and tools such as Tracker and online CME testing.
Does the Pennsylvania Medical Society have any advice on choosing a good username and password?
For your own security, please create a unique username and password for this website. Unique usernames and passwords help prevent identity theft that could be used on websites with more sensitive data (e.g. websites for banks, investment firms, and health care information). Please do not share it with others or use it for other purposes.
How do I start a user account?
Simply click on Create an Account. If you’re a member of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, you should also fill out a simple Member Profile. If you choose, that information will be displayed in our Member Directory and on our Find-A-Physician referral program.
Do I have to be a member to start a user account?
No, non-members can start a user account, particularly if you want to use our online store. However, non-members with user accounts will not have access to member-only information on the website.
What is my Member Profile and how do I update it?
Your Member Profile is attached to the Pennsylvania Medical Society's internal database. You can change or add information about your practice, such as your hours, insurances you accept, practice locations, and so on.
Is my information private and secure?
The Pennsylvania Medical Society is dedicated to protecting your privacy and security as a visitor to our website. Please refer to our Security FAQ for more information.
I forgot my username or password. What do I do?
If you’ve forgotten your username or password, visit our Username and Password Help page to retrieve your username or generate a new password.
How can my office staff get access to your website?
Your office manager can become a member of the Pennsylvania Medical Society and start his or her own user profile. That’s the best way for your staff to get access. However, some members choose to give their usernames and passwords to their office staff. We do not recommend this for security reasons. For example, the staff person could change vital information on the member’s profile or in CME Tracker.
I can’t find what I’m looking for…any suggestions?
If you can’t find a Web story using our menus and navigation, the next best way is through our Search function. Keep your search simple using one or two words rather than a phrase or sentence. Once you have tried a basic search, you can refine your search using advanced search or keyword search option. Many users will find the keyword search particularly easy to use. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, contact us at stat@pamedsoc.org.
Who can I contact if I have additional questions or if I have suggestions for stories or other content for your website?
You can email us at stat@pamedsoc.org or call (800) 228-7823.
How can I find out if there is new content?
We will soon implement a program by which you can receive daily updates about new content on the website. If you want to be alerted when this program is available, just email your name to stat@pamedsoc.org with the subject line “Daily Alert.”
How often do you update your website?
Almost everyday something is changed or updated.
May I link to your website off of my website?
We encourage other websites to link to ours but we appreciate being asked and informed. So, if you want to link to our website, just email stat@pamedsoc.org and we’ll reply as quickly as we can.
May I copy and use information off of your website?
Our website is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and other countries. Any unauthorized use of materials on this website may violate such laws. If you would like to use content off the website, you must ask permission by email at stat@pamedsoc.org or by phone at (800) 228-7823. Please take a moment to review our Terms of Use.
I don’t see my county society or specialty society listed. What’s up?
We offer web pages and links to county medical societies upon request. If you don’t see your county listed, ask your county executive or an officer to contact us. We only list links to specialty societies that are staffed by our Association Management Services department.
