International Pediatric Chat
Web site for IPC
A real-time chat channel where you can interact with pediatricians around the world, discussing practices, use of computers in medicine, and monthly case discussions. Visit the web site to find out how to download the software and connect via the internet to Internet Relay Chat. The pediatrician who set this up has invited any AAP Chapter to use the channel for an online meeting - this mode could be used by committees in Chapter 1 to have informal meetings and if all the members have computer/modem/internet access can be cheaper than a conference call via phone.
