Discussion Lists

One of the most difficult parts of my transition from the telecommunications industry to medicine was coping with how incredibly poor communication is in medical education settings. I found myself regularly craving a way to reach my fellow residents, and I found medical students and residents often had many of the same questions, but no way to share information.

I have set up several discussion lists to try to enhance communication among health care providers.

Please me to/from:

My name is (example: John Smith):

My email address is (example: jsmith@anywhere.com):


(Click once and be patient. It can take 20 seconds or so to subscribe.)

Too complicated? Having problems? Just email your question or request to listmom@risley.net and it will be handled personally.
