In an effort to cater to the time constrains of those at UT, we began an email listserv similar those used by the College of Medicine and Pharmacy.  With an email to one address, many people subscribing to the listserv can quickly and efficiently exchange and disseminate information.  Since its initiation such topics as upcoming event postings, discussions, query for peer consult, etc. have been posted with this service.  All individuals interested in UT CMDA are encouraged to subscribe so that they can be kept abreast of events and issues as they arise during their time at UT.  

To subscribe, simply click on the icon above and enter your name and the e-mail address to which you want the listserv traffic to be mailed.   The link is self-explanatory, however e-mail me if you have questions.  

The e-mail address of the listserv is UTCMDAstudents@yahoogroups.com
