For AAPL, it ultimately is all about the sense of community that provides the strongest sense of value for being a part of AAPL’s leadership efforts in healthcare. Helping our constituents better tap into the mindshare of the collective group of physician leaders... there’s clearly value/power in that.

Key Features
The community is convenient and easy to use and allows you to communicate on your own schedule and engage with your peers on topics of interest to you. The platform is intuitive — it flags posts that you haven’t read so you can pick up where you left off without having to scroll back through messages that you’ve already read.
Features include a chat module, the ability to post a message and/or an attachment, and the ability to participate by replying to a thread or post.
Community subscribers can select to receive real-time email notifications each time a new post is made or receive a daily digest summary that highlights the most recent posts from the previous day. Subscribers can also opt out of receiving email notifications.
To encourage even greater collaboration and networking, we’ve integrated the peer directory with the community so the subscriber can click on profile images to view the profiles of other group members, send an email, direct message, or visit social networking sites with a click from the profile page. The ability to send a 1:1 message to colleagues through the messaging feature is terrific, especially if you want to have private side conversation with a group member or colleague.
