Even if you don’t subscribe to Broadcast Messages, you can still view them at <http://www.musc.edu/broadcast>.
The method for submission of broadcast messages has also changed. To submit your message go to <http://www.musc.edu/broadcast> and click “Add a Message.”
When asked for your user name and password, enter your e-mail name and your network account password. For information regarding network passwords, call the MUSC Library at 792-2371.
Your submission will be reviewed by the Broadcast Messages editor and then posted on the Broadcast Web site.
Medical Broadcast Messages will continue to be sent out solely through e-mail. Information contained in Medical Broadcast Messages will not be posted on the Web site.
Continue to e-mail messages for submission to Medical Broadcast to broadcast@musc.edu.

Broadcast E-mail Messages Policy
The Office of Public Relations is assuming the responsibility for
the dissemination of broadcast e-mail and broadcast medical information
messages. The following general guidelines will accompany the change in
ownership and serve to streamline, eliminate unnecessary information and
make broadcast messages more readable and user- friendly.
The following guidelines apply to items submitted for inclusion on broadcast e-mail messages. Please note that some guidelines are already applicable to broadcast messages but have not been implemented as official policy.
PURPOSE:
To provide information about MUSC-related events, issues and opportunities
to faculty, staff and students in an efficient, timely manner.
POLICY:
1. Only MUSC employees, staff or students can submit a broadcast
message. The network connection password (the one assigned to you for homeroom
or atrium, not the Groupwise one) is the one used to access the “add a
message” form.
2. Messages must be related to the mission of the Medical University of South Carolina
3. Messages must be informative, brief and to the point.
4. The content of the message and the removal date from the website are subject to change at the discretion of the Office of Public Relations staff.
5. Messages must contain contact name, e-mail address and phone number and/or web address where interested parties can obtain more information.
6. Messages will not be disseminated with forms (i.e. entry forms, pledge forms, etc.) but can send the reader to a separate location on the Web that has been designated for the form.
7. Occasionally, with messages of great urgency or importance, an individual message will be sent using the list.
8. No patient information should be included in broadcast messages.
Membership in broadcast messages will remain voluntary and e-mail users may add or remove themselves from the list. CCIT will continue to maintain the list of persons who subscribe to broadcast e-mail messages.
PROCEDURE:
Messages submitted at http://www.musc.edu/broadcast/add
will be routed to the Office of Public Relations. Upon approval, the messages
will be made available on the website within a few hours.
There will be a once daily (Mon-Fri) dissemination of broadcast e-mail messages to subscribers.
Messages must be received by noon to be included in the day’s broadcast e-mail message; that is, any message received after noon will be broadcast on the next working day.
The sooner the messages are submitted, the sooner they will be on the
website. Messages will go out in the order they are submitted.
