Electronic
mail discussion groups
There
are a number of e-mail discussion groups related to the study of podiatry.
The best, and most active, is the podiatry
mailbase based at the University
of Huddersfield. Another interesting list is the clinical
gait analysis (CGA) list run through Curtin
University. For information regarding subscribing to these lists,
