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. | | |
