India! Re: Telehealth.net interview/further thoughts on http://www.cyber-medicine.org , Medical Matrix, and cross fertilization among WWW sites in different medical disciplines?
Kim Solez, M.D.
We need this as a cooperative effort for India, but also do not want to
bother people with it who might not be interested. So I would suggest that
after sending this reply to you copied to NEPHROL , NEPHDEVEL,
MEDWEBMASTERS, TELEHEALTH, and PATHO-L that we then make this a private
discussion between us copied to the list of known Indian subscribers to
NEPHROL and NEPHDEVEL that I have listed below. Others can request
inclusion so it is "opt in" and then eventually we will create a special
discussion group just for this.
As you have probably seen yesterday we have added 22 new resources to the
innovations on the http://www.cyber-medicine.org page and today we will ad
more that have been suggested to us and complete the comparison of Medical
Matrix data from August 14th and November 14th. Everyone can feel free to
suggest new sites to add by writing to me Kim....@UAlberta.CA .
The problem of course with the India initiative is that we do not have a
Medical Matrix for India, so it will be up to those working directly on the
project to identify the sites. The other challenge in India is that
keyboarding ("typing") is sometimes culturally thought of as a task to be
assigned to subordinates, which represents quite a challenge to direct
physician participation in Internet activities!
Anyway here below is the list of known Indian subscribers to our nephrology
lists. I do not have ready access to the same information for
MEDWEBMASTERS, TELEHEALTH, and PATHO-L.
All the best. - Kim
