Many courses link directly to LAN and online software such as Netter's Atlas of Anatomy, and Clinical Pharmacology. Third and forth year students doing clerkships at hospitals across the state can see course information and expectations posted on the UNC SOM site. More and more clerkships are using the web to ensure all of our students have similar learning encounters. Of course our students communicate with each other via email, but they also have spirited discussions on our discussion forums. Students also discuss issues, concerns, and questions with faculty members in the course-specific forums.
Student organizations recruit members and organize activities on the web by listserv and forums.
