AMSA GBM#3 and SERVICE EVENT: Beyond These Walls

[umdams...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a good Spring Break!

 

GBM #3: Current Medical Issues

Tuesday, March 24, 7-8 pm, STAMP Benjamin Banneker Room (Room 2212). 

This week’s focus will be on current, relevant medical issues. We will be watching two videos from “60 Minutes,” regarding the fight against Ebola and the rising cost of cancer drugs. We will then split into smaller groups to discuss about these topics. Enhanced knowledge on these topics will not only be impressive during medical school interviews, but will also be extremely beneficial as you pursue a career in medicine. Besides that, we will also be making spring-themed cards for patients at the Children’s National Medical Center if time permits.

For all of our aspiring pediatricians out there, this is a great opportunity to work with kids!
