Good afternoon SJB!
I would like to present to you an opportunity to attend the Region 5 American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) Conference at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Region 5 includes those medical schools with AMWA chapters in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and the Caribbean. The conference, which will take place on February 9-10, will be a great opportunity to build bridges and develop connections among members of these different chapters. In addition, there will be an opportunity to present your research poster. This is a fantastic way to showcase any work you would like to present and will look great on your resume! Event and poster submission information can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/region-5-amwa-conference-tickets-39338670021?aff=es2 On the website, you will find links to buy tickets to the conference (continental breakfast and lunch are included): - $20 for national student members & residents - $30 for students & residents without national membership - $50 for faculty members, physicians To become an AMWA national member please see here. In addition to the continental breakfast and lunch on 2/10, the registration fee also covers the price of heavy appetizers at the pre-conference networking event on the evening of 2/9 at The Wine Loft in downtown Birmingham (cash bar for alcoholic beverages). There will be several events and opportunities at this conference for students at all levels of their medical education: - Poster presentations - Networking - Guest lectures: topics ranging from leadership and mentorship to negotiation and business communication - Norma Ojeda, MD from the University of Mississippi - Cheri Canon, MD from UAB - Stephen Yoder from the UAB Collat School of Business - Additional lecturers - CV development - Breakout sessions Our hosts at UAB are also in the process of organizing opportunities for visiting students to have a free place to stay with students at UAB while they come attend the conference. Please let me know if you have any questions! Also, please note that this is a separate conference from the national AMWA conference that will be taking place in March in Philadelphia, which I have already informed our AMWA members about. Thanks! Cristina Font, AMWA Chapter President Comments are closed.
