This week the list, U.S.News & World Report: Eight Tips on How to Break into the Healthcare Industry, was posted.  One of the tips they suggested was to join professional networks. Thanks to social media this is easier than ever.  You can join industry specific professional groups on Linkedin. A good place to start is with the MCOL and Health Policy Publishing groups. They encompass a variety of topics.  For a general healthcare professional network, join the MCOL group. For more specific group topics try out the Health Policy Publishing groups; Readmissions News, Accountable Care News, Predictive Modeling News, Medical Home News and HealthChange Bulletin.
