Listservs for Medical Educators
The COMSEP List Serv.

The COMSEP listserv is a moderated e-mail list that sends out messages to all of the pediatrics clerkship directors (delegates to COMSEP), alternative delegates, and associate members. The list is moderated to ensure that there is no spam or commercial product advertised, other than that developed by our own members. To send a message to the COMSEP listserv, simply address the message to rcf-list@comsep.org. The messages are usually moderated within 12-24 hours and posted. Messages are also archived.

Announcements
URGENT! The COMSEP meeting will be moved out of the Omni Hotel due to the damage to the hotel after the recent tornado that hit downtown Atlanta. We are finalizing plans with an alternative hotel in the area; fortunately our options are good and our projected hotel is a very upscale property. Please pay attention to listserv messages or direct e-mails from Lisa Elliott or me. Of course, if you have urgent questions please contact Lisa at lelliott@abpeds.org or David at dlevine@msm.edu. We will update everyone as progress is made. Also, because of the move and size of the group (this will be the largest group we have ever had) we are also forced to close registration for anyone who has not yet sent in an application. We are confident that this will be an outstanding meeting and look forward to hosting you in Atlanta!

The 2008 annual meeting will be held at the Omni Hotel, Atlanta, GA, April 3-6, 2008. The meeting will be primarily hosted by Morehouse School of Medicine, with co-hosting by Emory University School of Medicine and assistance from the Medical College of Georgia and Mercer University School of Medicine. The theme will be Medical Students and Community: Using Medical Education to Address Health Disparities. The Miller/Sarkin Lecturer will be former surgeon General, David Satcher, MD, PhD. Meeting materials were mailed in January and are posted under "Annual Meeting" on the public pages and in the members-only area. Meetings are open to all that are interested in medical student education in Pediatrics.

A new initiative of COMSEP is to enhance the support and development of our staff Clerkship Coordinators. Dottye Currin, MPH, Clerkship Coordinator at Wake Forest will be providing important resources at a later date. If you have suggestions or resources that you think would be valuable, please send them to Ms. Currin at dcurrin@wfubmc.edu..
The 2007 annual meeting was held at the Westin La Cantera Resort, San Antonio, Texas, March 2007. This was a combined AMSPDC/COMSEP meeting. Meeting abstracts are posted under Scholarly Activities. The Miller/Sarkin Lectureship (Dr. Luann Wilkerson) and the President's Address are posted in the members-only community pages..
