Great Response to Info-Surge’s Free Education Modules for Bariatric Surgery Centers of Excellence

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 21, 2009 -
On March 1, Info-Surge launched their VforE offer, which provides a free Info-Surge account and three free bariatric surgery online patient education modules for all surgical practices designated as an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence® (BSCOE®).

Eran Kabakov, CEO of Info-Surge, said, “We are delighted at the success of our VforE promotion. The Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence community has been very receptive, and we are proud to support their surgical centers with free online modules to assist them in educating patients and enhancing care. Participating practices have provided positive feedback on both the quality of the modules and the increased marketing opportunities provided by the ability to capture patients directly from their websites.”

Info-Surge’s web-based education modules are accessible directly from the practices’ websites. These interactive modules help surgeons educate patients about gastric banding, gastric bypass, and gastric sleeve procedures. BSCOEs can sign up for the free modules at www.info-surge.com/SRC.html to begin using the simple program; there is no installation required.
