The energy at McCormick Place this past October was electric. As thousands of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine professionals gathered for the CHEST 2025 Annual Meeting (October 19–22), the atmosphere was one of innovation and future-forward thinking. But for the team at ShareMedSpace (SMS), this wasn't just another conference—it was our official introductory launch, and the response was nothing short of transformative.

We arrived with a simple mission: to help clinicians "Start Practicing Freedom". By the time we packed up our booth, we left with the undeniable confirmation that the medical industry is ready for a change.

The Verdict is In: Every Clinician Needs This
"Our goal at CHEST 2025 was to introduce our platform to the community, but we walked away with something far more valuable: validation. Over four days, we interacted with thousands of physicians from across the country and even hundreds from across the globe. We spoke to independent specialists, hospitalists looking to branch out, and practice owners struggling with rising costs ."

The most striking realization? Every single physician we spoke with needed exactly what we offer. The conversations were remarkably consistent. Whether we were speaking to a "Sharer" (a property owner) or a "User" (a clinician seeking space), the pain points were identical:

• • Lack of Control: Clinicians feel trapped by rigid systems and shrinking margins.
• • Wasted Resources: Practice owners complained about offices sitting idle on evenings and weekends, losing potential revenue.
• • Barriers to Entry: New and expanding physicians expressed frustration with the high overhead and long-term leases required to simply start seeing patients.

Why ShareMedSpace Resonated in Chicago

ShareMedSpace is not just a platform; it is a movement to reimagine the way clinicians do business. At CHEST 2025, we showed attendees how they could finally break free from these traditional constraints.

For the Owners: Monetizing Idle Space Physicians were thrilled to discover they could unlock revenue potential they already possessed—for free. We explained how SMS allows them to list their available space without administrative hassle, turning a financial liability into a "Sharer Relief" asset.

For the Users: Practice Without the Overhead For those looking to expand or test new locations, the concept of "getting your practice going without the overhead" was a game-changer. We demonstrated how they could access professional space immediately, without the risk of long-term contracts.

Trust and Security In an industry built on reputation, our commitment to security was a major talking point. Physicians appreciated our rigorous "Know Your Customer" (KYC) protocols, which ensure that every user on the platform is verified and legitimate. The ability to rate and review peers further cemented the idea of a trusted, clinician-centered community.
