Dear AAMC Group of Student Affairs Representatives:
You are cordially invited to encourage your fellow medical students interested in pursuing a surgical specialty to participate in a special program at the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. We ask that you please pass along the link below and the attached brochure regarding this program to all students, including those in first and second year.
American College of Surgeons Medical Student Program
September 30 - October 2, 2012
McCormick Place, Chicago, IL
http://www.facs.org/clincon2012/special/medicalstudent.html
The Medical Student Program, offered by the ACS Division of Education, is designed to assist medical students with: • choosing a career in surgery
• preparing for the residency selection process
• making the transition from medical school to resident training in surgery
The students attend lectures, panel discussions, and various activities conducted by prominent Fellows of the College committed to surgery education. In addition to participating in these special activities, students are encouraged to attend the other sessions of the Clinical Congress including panel presentations, scientific paper sessions, video-based education sessions, poster sessions, and technical exhibits.
The registration deadline is Friday, September 21, 2012, and early registration is encouraged. The Medical Student Program is free for all medical students, but registration at Clinical Congress (free for ACS student members and a nominal cost for nonmembers) is required. Students, their schools, or departments are responsible for all travel and lodging expenses. With any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Krashina Hudson at (312) 202-5335 or [email protected].
The Medical Student Program is an exceptional educational opportunity for students who may be interested in surgery. We encourage students to attend this interactive and comprehensive course designed just for them.
