DocBookMD

Currently, a physician may register with DocBookMD only if he or she is a medical society member.

DocBookMD supports up to 2 devices per account: One phone (iPhone or Android) and one non-phone (iPad or iPod touch.)
Note: Currently DocBookMD is not available for Android tablet devices.

To set up a second device:

STEP 1: Download the DocBookMD app onto your second device from the iTunes App Store or Android Market.

STEP 2: Type in the same email address and same password you use for your first device log in.

Download the free app from the App Store or the Android Market. Once it is downloaded, open up the app and it will guide you through the easy registration process. (You will need to have your medical society ID number handy. If you do not know your number, contact your medical society for assistance.)

Once you’ve finished registration you can go right ahead and start using DocBookMD to contact your colleagues.

In order to provide your members with a county directory of physicians to connect to on the app, it is necessary to transfer data to our server. This is accomplished via a CSV file of member data. We also include your county’s hospital and pharmacy data.

Meg Valentine, heading our IT department, will be happy to assist and answer any questions regarding this process. She can be reached at [email protected] .

Once the medical society data is set up in the DocBookMD system, your society is ready to go.
We assist you in starting awareness about DocBookMD through multiple channels. We help you integrate information about the app on your website, coordinate awareness email campaigns with you, provide you with marketing materials, and in some cases plan launch events.

We work with you to have as many of your members as possible register for DocbookMD and actively use it. The more users, the more value for each physician on board. For the doctor it’s easy: Just register with his or her medical society number and download the app!
