ElectCrsChairs -- Elective Course Chairs
About ElectCrsChairs	English (USA)
The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA maintains the ElectCrsChairs listserve (electronic mailing lists) of course chairs for elective clerkships to support official curricular and administrative communications. OWNERSHIP: The Dean for Student Affairs (Neil Parker, M.D.) is the owner of the list. Any questions or concerns regarding their use can be directed to the custodian of the list, Gezelle Miller, Clinical Curriculum Coordinator (310-825-3848, gmiller@mednet.ucla.edu). MEMBERSHIP: The membership list is managed by Gezelle Miller, Clinical Curriculum Coordinator. It is the responsibility of the Clinical Curriculum Coordinator to be sure all required clerkship site directors and course chairs are members of the list. Any changes to the list can be sent to Gezelle. OFFICIAL USERS OF THE ELECTCRSCHAIRS: Only elective course chairs and members of the list can use the list. This list may not be used by companies, charities, religious organizations, etc. LISTSERVE RULES AND ETIQUITTE: • Appropriate professional etiquette is expected of all list members and official users of the lists. • The "ElectCrsChairs" list is private and unmoderated. • Authors of emails sent to the lists should use a "signature block" or sign their email. • Follow any and all guidelines that the listowner has posted; the listowner establishes the local "netiquette" standards for her/his list. • If another person posts a comment or question that is inappropriate, do NOT reply to the list. • When quoting another person, edit out whatever isn't directly applicable to your reply. Don't let your automatically quote the entire body of messages you are replying to when it's not necessary. Take the time to edit any quotations down to the minimum necessary to provide context for your reply. Nobody likes reading a long message in quotes for the third or fourth time, only to be followed by a one line response: "Yeah, me too." • Use discretion when forwarding a long mail message to group addresses or distribution lists. It's preferable to reference the source of a document and provide instructions on how to obtain a copy. If you must post a long message, warn the readers with a statement at the top of the mail message. Example: WARNING: LONG MESSAGE. Remember, long message or large attachments can fill your email account and keep you from receiving important curricular/administrative emails. • When posting a question to the list, request that responses be directed to you personally. Post a summary or answer to your question to the group. • When replying to a message, check the address to be certain it's going to the intended location (person or group). HELP: For assistance with, or questions regarding the ElectCrsChairs list, contact Gezelle Miller (310-825-3848, gmiller@mednet.ucla.edu).
