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.
