Health and Medical Newsgroups

10 years with you!
On the Internet and listed with YAHOO! since 01/12/96

Patient Care in the VCU Health System Department of Internal Medicine
To access these newsgroups, you need to have them available through your Internet Services Provider. There are more than 100,000 different newsgroups on the Usenet. No one single Internet Services Provider can afford to keep up with all of them. A good ISP may keep some 40,000 different groups .

If a specific group is not on the list of your Internet Services Provider, you may request your Internet Services Provider to subscribe.

You may download the best newsreader, Agent Forte, from the Forte site .
There are two versions: Free Agent (for free) and professional Agent (for a fee).


Use Opera, the Ferrari of Internet browsers!

Opera has an incorporated newsreader.

If your Internet Services Provider cannot give a satisfactory USENET service, you may access the USENET through some of the OPEN/FREE NEWS SERVERS:

You may download and use NEWS HUNTER, a free utility to search the Internet for the News server that delivers the newsgroup you need. It may be too much of the head and too little of the beer, though.
You may learn some basics about the USENET and get access to some of newsgroups (and search for postings by keywords) at Google. Recently Google purchased more than 10 years of news archives from DejaNews and now provides an improved search engine.
