Lengthy discussions are not encouraged on this listserv, and members interested in in-depth discussions are encouraged to continue such discussions in a private forum (e.g., via personal email communication).
All posts to the listserv are the sole responsibility of the sender and do not reflect the opinion of iaedp NY. Posts to the listserv are not prescreened. However, the iaedp NY listserv is monitored to ensure adherence to iaedp NY policy. It is up to iaedp NY members to use best practice and professionalism when posting to the listserv.

It is in violation of iaedp NY policy to forward any posts to any medium outside of the listserv from which it originated (e.g., personal or professional blogs, social networking websites) without the approval of the iaedp NY. iaedp NY acknowledges that educational information gleaned from the listserv discussions may be used by its members in further communication with colleagues and/or patients.
