APIC provides multiple opportunities for interactive discussion through the use of its online communities.

• Threaded discussions with listserv capabilities
• News and other group announcements 
• Document library

APICList is a moderated list open to all in the infection prevention arena.  While subscription to APICList is not required to read current postings, subscribing offers the following additional features:

• Receive postings by email - receive each posting as it is made or get the postings in daily or weekly digest formats.
  Recommendation: Daily digest gets all of the messages to you in a timely manner without getting them lost amongst other mail or cluttering up your mailbox and is short enough to read through quickly.
• Full search feature access - only subscribers may access search results
  Note: You must log in to the site to verify your subscription status.

Member-only communities include many chapters and leadership groups.

Course attendees have access to communities open only to them, their classmates, and course instructors.  Access materials and share your ideas.

• I am subscribed but not getting any email.
  This can be due to any of the following:
  • No postings were made
  • You have not set up your email options
  • You do not have a valid email address on record with APIC
  • Your local network settings are blocking your mail.  APIC community mailings come from communities@apic.org.  Please ask your network support staff to allow mail to be delivered from this address.
• My mailing is blank.
  Certain older email programs are known to display a blank page.  Please switch your subscription to the daily digest option.  The daily digest has been completely rewritten to work with these older programs.  (Currently, this special edition of the daily digest is only available for APICList.  Plans are in place to extend this to all APIC communities soon.)
