Global Medical Directory

BAC Medical Marketing has partnered with Global Medical Directory (GMD) to offer the first and only global platform bringing together all consumers, plastic surgeons, and medical suppliers of the plastic surgery industry, an idea that came from its founder’s vision to allow for an open highway of communication through knowledge and commerce.
GMD’s mission is to provide the most sophisticated and innovative platform to meet the needs of consumers, plastic surgeons and medical suppliers alike. They strive to cut through the chaos and noise of countless plastic surgery websites, worldwide, and provide a single, user-friendly portal for all target groups to systematically find the answers consumers are searching for. This is done through matching the needs of one group to the offerings of another and providing extensive plastic surgery related content for educational value.
GMD was created to achieve one simple goal— provide information to those seeking plastic surgery and connect them with those who perform plastic surgery. The site contains the largest, unbiased worldwide database of plastic surgery physicians while also providing a large array of benefits for its members. GMD is loaded with resources to provide the most recent and valuable plastic surgery information to its members.
The site contains two platforms; a consumer platform and a professional platform. On the consumer platform, prospective plastic surgery clients are able to conduct research on procedures, benefits, and possible risks as well as gain access to a global database of physicians. On the professional platform, surgeons are able to share their medical intelligence, monitor their worldwide reputation, network with others, and promote their business. Medical suppliers can also utilize the GMD professional platform to showcase their products and services to gain recognition and conduct business with medical practices around the world.
GMD plans to make sites available worldwide, launching in Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand during 2010 and 2011, with plans to expand its presence into Brazil, Portugal, France, Spain, Russia, Germany, and numerous other countries. Providing sites in these other countries will offer an even larger network of surgeons to prospective patients, and will further promote GMD’s mission to allow the free-flow of information and move the constraints of borders and language from the plastic surgery industry.
My Identity
The Internet is a fluid and ever changing community of information, people and opinions, where a company's reputation is its key identifying factor. Online Reputation Management was important at the Internet's first dawn, but now it has become vital, particularly given the volume of today's consumer generated media.
According to a report recently issued by the Public Relations Society of America, 45% of media originates from the customer, followed by 38% created by companies that are following the modern trend of becoming self publishers. The traditional media showed only a timid 8% and directories only 9%. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the control of information is now in the hands of individuals instead of big journalistic conglomerates.
Because of the sudden switch from traditional media to new media, many businesses are investing significant resource in monitoring conversations about their brands on the internet, on websites, in forums, in social media and in blogs. Often times, a dedicated team is responsible for managing this monitoring project and process these results manually.
GMD's My Identity will follow this trend and will ensure a more thorough and scientific analysis of the data, managing the online reputation of physicians and suppliers offering comprehensive information to members.
What is My Identity
My Identity is a service included with your gold and platinum GMD membership or can be purchased as a stand-alone service to GMD members, physicians or suppliers, committed to protecting their online identity and reputation. By scouring the entire internet looking for negative or harmful comments, My Identity provides helpful feedback to help purify your online reputation.
