      Health and Medicine
        Boston Univ. Medical Center: Community Outreach Health
                Information System
                The Boston University Medical Center is proud to
                introduce the World Wide Web central health promotion and
                disease prevention resource center, the Community
                Outreach Health Information System (COHIS). The COHIS
                organization is a volunteer, non-profit student
                organization at the BU Medical Center started back in
                March 1995. There are approx. 125 student members as well
                as physicians, faculty and other departmental figures at
                BU Medical Center. There are 11 subcommittees which keep
                up to date with the medical information to keep you up to
                date. There is also a team that goes out into the
                communities to educate people on how to use the Web and
                the COHIS system. Access to the system is provided by
                local community centers, schools and libraries in and
                around Boston.

                Features include:
                  1. 11 health topics: AIDS/HIV, Alcohol and Substance
                 Abuse, Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, Environmental
                 Hazards, Infectious Diseases, Nutrition, Partner
                 Violence, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Smoking and
                 Tobacco Abuse, and Teen Pregnancy/Maternal & Neonatal
                 Health.

                 The information provided is very easy to read and
                 understand. It is well organized by making use of the
                 most most current HTML extensions. It uses compact
                 graphics to convey information and you'll also find use
                 of medical images provided by physicians and specialty
                 departments of BUMC.

                  2. An on-line Journal of Community Health: For topics that
                 we didn't cover as an entire site, they are talked about
                 in this journal, where the articles are written by
                 medical students and physicians for the general public
                 to read and understand. For example, International
                 Travel and Health, Osteoporosis, Medicare and Medicaid
                 etc.

                  3. COHIS Kid's Corner: This section makes use of mascots
                 and cartoons to deliver health information to kids. The
                 information includes second hand smoke, lead poisoning,
                 excessive sun exposure etc. It also provides for a
                 forum/bulletin board for kids to use to communicate with
                 each other.

                  4. Physician On-Line Bulletin Board System: if you have any
                 health related question, ask the medical students and
                 physicians of BUMC. The message is anonymously posted on
                 the bulletin board and then is replied to not only by
                 the staff here at the center, but also other users of
                 the system.

                  5. Patient Case Records: read first hand patient case
                 records for each of our 11 topics which are introduced
                 on the system after our teams interview patients at the
                 associated hospitals.

                  6. HealthSource: if you are tired and sick of searching for
                 a health topic using search engines, use this
                 comprehensive, well organized part of the system to find
                 health resources on the net. Each site is reviewed by
                 our teams before it is added so you don't get access to
                 useless information. There are also links to sites in
                 different languages, spanish, french, german etc.

                  7. VRMed: The site provides medical VRML models of all
                 kinds for you to enjoy and explore.

             Fantasy Sports Leagues
                 Haven't you always wanted to participate in a fantasy
                 league but then you find out that it is going to cost
                 you? I got so sick and tired of that, I decided to start
                 my own "business." This is not like any other business
                 because the only requirement needed to be a member of
                 FSL is you have a E-mail account. The leagues are FREE!

                 Yep. No cost to participate in a league. All I ask is
                 that you put time into your team because no one wants to
                 be in a "dead" league. Visit the FSL homepage and
                 experience a whole new world.
