As SPM has grown, we’ve added additional system components. Only two of them require passwords: the membership system, and the SPM Connect discussion forum. Here’s what you need to know.

• ParticipatoryMedicine.org is the public SPM website.
  It requires no login.
  (This page is part of that site.)

• Your SPM membership data (dues, expiration, etc.) is in the Members.participatorymedicine.org system. This is the “source of truth” (the place where your official data is stored) for:
  • your registered SPM email address
  • your payment information
  • the username and password you created for the membership system.
    • To reset this password, click here.
    • This username and password is used nowhere else.
  • The membership system also includes a unique identifier number (like a “record locator” for an airline reservation), but we don’t use it – it’s only used behind the scenes.

• SPM Connect (or just Connect) is our online discussion forum for members: Connect.participatorymedicine.org.
  • The Connect forum has its own password. You log in with your SPM email address (above) and a password you created when you first logged into Connect.
    • The Connect password is separate from the Membership password, but you can make them the same if you want.
  • Logging in to Connect is completely separate from the membership system. (Logging in or out of one is independent of the other.)
