WinshipMD - Physician Directory App

The WinshipMD app (Winship physician directory) is a web-based mobile application exclusively for physicians and advanced practice providers to search and find a Winship physician by name, location, or treatment specialty and gain access to direct contact information.

The app helps build and strengthen relationships with community physicians by improving access to Winship physicians, and serving as an added communication tool for second opinions and patient referrals. First-time access is vetted and granted by the Community Outreach Network Administrator. Winship physicians can use their Emory University or Healthcare ID to log into the app.
