To the Board and
Membership of
CaPA,
On behalf of the 12 California medical students who attended the
PNHP conference (2-3 Nov, Washington, DC) thanks to the generosity of CaPA,
please accept our sincere appreciation.
Below are specific words of thanks culled
from the collection of individual emails of
appreciation:
“Thanks
for much for the awesome opportunity.”
"This conference was SO
motivating and inspiring!"
"Thank you very much for your
support and consideration in promoting a group of medical students to attend a
conference meant to promote, encourage, and illustrate a progessive and positive
reformation of a quickly self-destroying healthcare
system."
"This weekend was a
tremendous opportunity made possible primarily due to CaPA's support and
encouragement. It has added more kindling to the fire of student activism in the
fight for patient doctor centered health care."
"A wonderful and rare
opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals--to share information,
experiences, and enthusiasm. It was particularly inspiring to meet so many
established physicians who are still so dedicated to this cause and encouraging
of our efforts."
"Thank you so much for your
support. I truly appreciate what you have done to give medical students a
leadership role in healthcare reform."
"Thank
you so much for this great opportunity. It was a huge
success!
California made a great showing and certainly made
medical schools
from the rest of the country take
note."
Sincerely,
Parker Duncan,
MS4/MPH candidate and CaPA Board
Officer
