Ok, this might be an even easier way to get in contact with anyone from our online study group. I emailed the value md support and they created a usmle step 1 study group for all of us. It will list all of the members and has links to their private messages.

I've added all the people who I could remember that were actively participating in the chats the past couple of weeks. I know there are many who were present as silent observers and many who I just forgot and I apologize if I didn't include you. If you notice your name is not listed, click the join button and you will be added soon. This also applies for any newcomers who want to join because this group, forum and chats are always open to any and everyone. As Tommy would say, we are all part of a family who are trying to help each other reach this common goal
It's not necessary to join the group in order to participate in the chats. It's just an easier way for us to contact each other privately if we want or exchange files or whatever. But I would suggest using the value md step 1 forum for most communication, especially if it is relevant to the entire group, so that newcomers and guests can participate in our conversations also.
You will also notice that I'm listed as the group leader right now, but this is only temporary for set up purposes. I will humbly hand the position back over to Lorena once she returns from her trip since she has been such a great part of establishing our online study group.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone!
