Sosido Blog

It’s our pleasure to welcome members of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy in Oncology (CAPhO) to Sosido this week. CAPhO members will find their network at http://capho.sosido.com and our first “Sosido Notes for CAPhO” will be emailed out on Thursday. Welcome!

You might have noticed a few changes to CBMTG’s network on Sosido lately as we move over to make room for CAPhO, CANO and CAGPO to join us in the next few weeks. CBMTG’s new home on Sosido is at cbmtg.sosido.com. If you arrive at the Sosido blog by accident, just click on the link at the right (“GO TO: CBMTG on Sosido”) and you’ll be right back to familiar territory.

It was my pleasure to present 2 iPad Minis as prizes for the 2013 CBMTG-Sosido Online Thought Leader Awards last week at CBMTG’s conference in Winnipeg. Thank you to our award winners, Marie-France Vachon, Nurse Coordinator at the Hôpital Sainte-Justine BMT program in Montréal, and Dr. Jeff Lipton of the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, for their generous contributions of knowledge to the CBMTG online community over the past year.

Sosido is hiring a Community Manager to support (no, to love) our family of users in the same way we do. If you are passionate about supporting our healthcare community, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

So looking forward to seeing you in Winnipeg. Safe travels and see you soon!

PS. Don’t forget to join us for the presentation of the CBMTG-Sosido Online Thought Leader Awards at the AGM (Friday, April 12 at 11:15 am).

To thank CBMTG members for their valuable contributions of knowledge to the online community over the past year, we’ll be awarding 2 iPad Minis to the Top MD/PhD Online Thought Leader and the Top Allied Health Thought Leader. Awards will be presented at the CBMTG Annual General Meeting at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg on Friday, April 12 at 11:15 am. Please join us!

About the CBMTG-Sosido Online Thought Leader Awards: In 2011, CBMTG, supported by a generous grant from Roche Canada, launched an online knowledge exchange community for its members on Sosido Networks. Through this community, CBMTG is able to deliver the most important research in the field of BMT, highlight the new research and publications of its members, and connect the Canadian BMT community in online discussion of practice issues. The CBMTG-Sosido Online Thought Leader Award recognizes the importance of this new form of knowledge exchange to support the work of BMT teams across Canada and ultimately to improve the care of patients in need of transplant.

The CBMTG award is presented in two categories:
(1) top contributing MD/PhD member; and
(2) top contributing allied health member

The award will be granted to the individuals who have made the most significant contributions of knowledge to the CBMTG online community throughout the year, by answering and asking questions through the online Q&A, and sharing research and resources. Individual recipients must be current CBMTG members in good standing.

This is the second year that the CBMTG-Sosido Online Thought Leader Awards have been presented (see last year’s 2012 award winners).

We’d love to hear your thoughts, so we can make Sosido better. Please complete this brief happiness survey. (No log-in required. Once you’ve finished, you can see what other members have said too; it’s all anonymous.)

Warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, happy New Year. See you in 2013!
