Nine DOTmed users were certified this August -- a record tally for the number of users receiving the distinction in any one month.

DOTmed Certification is much more than a trusted 'seal of approval.' It is not given by DOTmed, it is earned by reliable business people in the used medical equipment market. Being DOTmed Certified makes a statement about your commitment to ethics and professionalism, and it sets a good example for others in the industry.

Newly certified DOTmed user John Wittenberg, president of Inventory Solutions Inc., said of the designation: "We have a great reputation in our industry, and this validates it. We get a tremendous amount of repeat business and the nice thing is both competitors and customers are very willing to give us references."
Multiple Benefits of Certification

Those who are DOTmed Certified are eligible for referrals from DOTmed. Their DOTmed listings and Service Directory listing receive special placement. And their DOTmed listings and Service Directory contain the DOTmed Certified logo. They can also put the logo on their website. (If you're DOTmed Certified and need the logo, go to "My DOTmed/Awards for My Site" for an HTML version of the logo for your site.)

"We are really excited about getting the certification." We're going to take that little symbol and put it on everything we send to our hospitals. It gives us another credential...We're thrilled about that, " said another of our newly DOTmed Certified users, Darrel Kile of Classic Diagnostic Imaging.

Other recently DOTmed Certified people include Ruud Simons, Medi-Trade; Geoffrey Loveless, JLJ United, Inc.; Jeff Daniels, The Alternative Source Inc.; Steve Yetter, Global 21; Darlene Smith, Dietz Healthcare Inc.; Nancy M. Mills, Mid-America Medical; and George Girgis, Meena Medical Equipment Inc.

DOTmed has established the Certification process to help protect our users. DOTmed Certified users have signed a Code of Ethics, provided three references, agreed to Binding Arbitration and our Dispute Resolution process. (Note that the letters of reference don't have to be from DOTmed users, they can come from anyone you do business with. And by the way, as of this writing there has been no dispute resolution involving a DOTmed Certified user because there have been no disputes among those who do business with DOTmed's "A" Team.)

Being DOTmed Certified is especially important for newly registered users because it allows them to quickly demonstrate their trustworthiness. And it's good for the industry as a whole because the process inspires confidence. The free DOTmed Certification is a fast-tracked process which you can apply for today to get certified tomorrow. And it's portable. It's the person, not the company, that is DOTmed Certified, so if you are at a company and leave, your DOTmed Cert goes with you.

DOTmed has established this initiative solely to protect our users as they conduct business on our site. It also gives all of us a chance to lead by example and show our commitment to ethics and professionalism in our industry.
