umdams...@gmail.com
Hey everyone!
It’s a really busy week for AMSA ahead… well, at least the first half!
We will be holding our annual spring semester INOVA blood drive tomorrow, Monday, April 6th from 10am – 4pm in the Stamp Atrium. One service point towards becoming an active member of AMSA will be awarded to anyone who donates blood, and there will also be *FREE* t-shirts as usual for anyone who donates. Nonetheless, keep in mind that we are donating blood with the goal of saving lives. Please follow the link below for more information:

On Tuesday, April 7th, there will be a Health Professions Recruitment Fair that is co-sponsored by HPAO. There, you will be given the opportunity to meet representatives from Graduate and Professional schools in Medical, Dental, Allied Health & Post-Bacc programs. Dress to impress, but formal wear is not required! It will be held in the Grand Ballroom in Stamp from 2-5pm.
Later that evening, we will be having our last general body meeting of the semester in the Benjamin Banneker room (room 2212) in Stamp and will still start promptly at 7 pm. We will be hosting a very special guest speaker, Dr. John K. Lynch (DO, MPH). Dr. Lynch is board certified in Neurology and Vascular Neurology, specializing in Alzheimer Disease, Epilepsy, Migraine Disorders, and Multiple Sclerosis. He is also a staff clinician in the Section on Stroke Diagnostics and Therapeutics at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes (NINDS). Come out with lots of questions and an open mind! ALL are welcome to attend.
Immediately following the meeting (from 8-8:30pm), we will be holding our Kaplan Course Auction. In short, you get to bid for a Kaplan course, including courses focused on the MCATs, DATs GRE, LSAT, GMAT, etc. However, the courses will NOT include one-on-one private tutoring or Kaplan’s Summer Intensive program. Bidding starts at just $200. Come out and buy Kaplan courses that are worth $1500-2000 for just a couple hundred; it’s a really great deal! The following link provides more information:

*Please keep in mind that the MCAT course has now been adapted to the new MCAT 2015, which will be really helpful as guinea pigs for the new test. In honor of this, a Kaplan instructor will be coming to share a few sample problems and demonstrate how they would teach them in a Kaplan course.
Hope to see you all at these opportunistic events!
