Individuals involved in NICU's, PICU's, and other pediatric inpatient and outpatient groups are encouraged to join and participate.

A listserv with many members so you can be inundated with emails so you may wish to set up a separate hotmail account just for this purpose. To reduce emails it can be obtained in daily digest format. Send “QUERY PEDI-RD” as a message to listserv@list.uiowa.edu and you will be told how to do this. These details do sometimes change and you can end up getting automated responses that are difficult to understand as it is completely automated with no human input.
