LISTSERV

DOCS has an active and friendly listserv where members ask questions and share ideas about how to handle issues with their students, faculty, and CS course or curriculum. While membership in DOCS is encouraged, it is not required to use the DOCS listserv.

The following list is a sampling of some of the topics discussed by the DOCS listserv community:

Accommodating disabled students
Attendance policies
Clinical competency committees
Clinical site variability and LCME requirements
Compensation for community preceptors
Criteria for promotions review

Surveys

Please note: In order to prevent our Listserv participants from being overwhelmed by surveys, DOCS has an official Survey Vetting and Approval Policy, which can be reviewed here. Please do NOT post surveys to the DOCS Listserv without first going through the Survey Vetting and Approval process.

DOCS Survey Vetting and Approval Policy

Scholarly products that are developed by surveying DOCS members and/or through collaborations fostered by DOCS should include a formal acknowledgement of the DOCS organization (see Policy on Acknowledging DOCS in Scholarly Work).
