This address (DR-ED@MSU.EDU) is also called the "list address".
You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed
to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the
"LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@MSU.EDU.
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get
a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX DR-ED"
command to LISTSERV@MSU.EDU. You can

G.R.I.P.E. The Group for Research
in Pathology Education has established an unmoderated electronic discussion
group available for use by residents, physicians, scientists, faculty, and
those interested in issues on medical school education in general and teaching
Pathology in particular. Members are involved in traditional lecturing as
well as problem based learning curricula and the use of CAI and multimedia.
On more advanced levels, many of our members are active in clinical and
anatomic pathology, and some are active in research as well. Medical advice
is not available, but interesting cases might be professionally discussed
as teaching vehicles, as might the role of research projects in training.
There are also notices about G.R.I.P.E. The areas of interest are expected
to be varied and to evolve.
For more information or to subscribe, contact Joseph A. Price, PhD (price@vms.ocom.okstate.edu)
and introduce yourself in a sentence or two, including your contact with
teaching pathology or your basis for interest, e.g. whether it is lectures,
small groups, or guiding residents, etc.; or CAI designer. Include your
degree (we have Ph.D.s, M.D.s, D.O.s, D.V.M.s, D.D.S. s), organization,
etc. and how you want people to reach you.

The AAMC has established a Listserv to facilitate communication among developers and users of software for medical education - undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education. We intend this to serve as a vehicle for exchange of ideas concerning the development and use of courseware, authoring tools and other infrastructure/technical needs, as well as for considerations of criteria and methods for evaluation.
The Listserve is NOT intended for posting advertisements for commercial courseware and authoring products; those who use the list to do so will be unsubscribed. However, discussions about integrating both commercial and faculty-authored materials into the medical school curriculum are encouraged.
To subscribe to the list send the following message to
subscribe med-ed
