AMA will study e-mail as a member benefit
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted July 11, 2005
The American Medical Association will study the feasibility of giving members a lifetime e-mail address, something that medical students say would be particularly helpful to them as they move around the country during their years in training.
Physicians at the AMA Annual Meeting in June suggested that the e-mail addresses also could be helpful in contacting physicians during a public health emergency.
