E-Mail Lists

RETICULUM@ucdavis.edu

Reticulum is a list created to discuss the use of computers within the medical school curriculum. It was created in 1993 as an alias, an experiment in the use of e-mail to replace face-to-face meetings of a medical school committee discussing curricular issues. With an increasing number of members from outside the campus, in 1994 it was transformed to an e-mail list.

ACADERM-L@ucdavis.edu

Acaderm-L was created in November 1993 as the first email list for the dermatology community. This list was envisioned to provide communication within the academic community on a variety of common issues related to teaching and administration of an academic dermatology program.

RxDERM-L@ucdavis.edu

RxDERM-L was created in November 1993 to serve as a forum for dermatologists to discuss issues relating to patient treatment.

MEDPICTS@ucdavis.edu

Medpicts was created in January 1995 as an extension of a group of dermatologists discussing nomenclature and the posting of images on the World Wide Web. Dermatologists are now a small minority of the membership and the list discusses a wide range of issues relating to the use of digital images and medical education.
