ACMA Patient Group is a membership patient support group for ACMA patients mainly. The group website is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ACMAPatientGroup
The goal of the group is to provide patient supports, address questions and issues on ACMA Treatment, and publish ACMA Treatment information of interests to most ACMA patients.
The ACMA Patient Group uses the Yahoo Group format. Yahoo Group is an internet group designed for people in different locations (e.g. in different states or even countries) to discuss issues through email. The advantage of this group format is that group members do not need to gather together physically for discussions. People can simply discuss topics and issues at home through email with other group members. This has saved time and expenses, and made discussions easier, efficient, and convenient.
Yahoo Group is like a forum. The persons sending group emails are performers. All group members are the audience. During discussion, the sender sends the group email to Yahoo. Then Yahoo will distribute the group email to all group members.
Similar to other professional groups, this group is governed by laws, netiquette, and other applicable rules and regulations, etc.
Only ACMA patients are eligible to join this group. There is no membership fee for ACMA patients to join this group.
Membership applications from non-ACMA patients will be denied.
