The American Association of Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) maintains (or has maintained) three distinct list serves:
- CompMed (this record), which covers topics related to comparative medicine and laboratory animals
- TechLink, which focused on technician-related issues, but which has now been dissolved
- IACUC Forum, which is a clearinghouse for material of relevance for Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees
CompMed is an e-mail list for discussion of comparative medicine, laboratory animals, and topics related to biomedical research. There were approx. 3,000 members worldwide until June 2019 when it was moved to a new site. Membership numbers are now lower but are increasing.
CompMed serves professionals working in these fields by providing an interactive, easy-to-use environment to share information and discuss topics of common interest. CompMed is limited to participants who are involved in some aspect of biomedical research or veterinary medicine, including veterinarians, technicians, animal facility managers, researchers, and graduate/veterinary students. AALAS membership is not required to subscribe to CompMed; AALAS members are subject to the same approval process as non-members.
Full instructions for joining CompMed are available here.
