Dear students and alumni,
Welcome to the AKUMC Students and Alumni Discussion Board, a unique platform meant to promote communication among AKU MC students and alumni from all over the world. The Board provides a private space to discuss issues of common interest such as the USMLE / Board Exams, various aspects of the US Residency, visa issues and accommodation.
Primarily designed for discussions, the Board's powerful and intuitive editor provides its members with the necessary tools required to focus on and emphasize key points to facilitate full-fledged discussions. Members can create polls, upload images, videos and documents (e.g. PDFs, Google Documents, Spreadsheets) as well as have personal/group conversations off-the-board. New members can browse through old/archived content or even use the built in search feature to see if a certain topic has already been discussed.
Keeping in line with modern web standards, other features include:
Considering that most of us consume huge chunks of data on a daily basis via small screen devices, AKUMC-STAN comes with its own mobile app, hosted by Tapatalk. Just install the app on your device once (installation instructions are given here), and the app will faithfully and instantly notify users of new messages/events even when they are not actively using the application. Notifications can obviously be disabled/customized, as per user choice.
For those concerned about security, the domain is secured with an SSL certificate ensuring that all data to and from the website is encrypted. Plus, the Board supports two factor authentication as well.
New to the Discussion Board and need to create a new account? Don't worry! You can sign up and log in simply with your Facebook/Twitter/Google account which seamlessly gets associated with your Board account.
I welcome everyone aboard and look forward to your feedback and suggestions. I am confident that the board will form a vital component of the AKU MC Students and Alumni Network, helping everyone to socially engage, interact and communicate with each other in a meaningful manner, no matter where you are.
Warm regards,
Abdul Basit Saeed, '07
