Hello Everyone!
Here is what we talked about at our meeting last evening:
Our guest speaker was Mrs. Rosalyn Campbell from the North Mississippi Medical Center. She spoke about the Physician Shadowing Program they offer over the summer, as well as the requirements for the application. The deadline to apply is April 20th, but she will be returning to Mississippi State on April 6th in the Union from 3-6 to conduct interviews. She put out a sign-up sheet for the interviews, and all the time slots were filled. However, if you are interested in interviewing, please contact me at aas169@msstate.edu and I will see if something can be worked out. More information is available at nmhs.net/employment.
AMSA t-shirts have arrived! If you pre-ordered and did not pick up your t-shirt, please be sure to do so at the next meeting. We also have ordered extras, and are selling them for the price of $12 a shirt at the next meeting. The shirt comes in a v-neck and a "regular" (crewneck) style.
Upcoming Events:
Trip to UMC on April 9th. We will be leaving from the Hump parking lot on the morning of the 9th, and will return to campus late that afternoon. If you would like to go and did not sign up at the meeting last night, please e-mail us as soon as possible at msuamsa@gmail.com. Also, if you would be willing to drive please let us know. Drivers will be reimbursed on the day of the trip for gas costs. Those who have signed up will receive further details on the trip via e-mail.
Our next meeting in on TUESDAY, April 6th, in Room 100 of the ABE building. Dr. Case or Dr. Davis from UMC will be coming to speak on filling out the AMCAS (the application for medical school). Pizza and drinks will be provided.

Minutes from 02/18/10 Meeting
Hey guys,
At our meeting on February 18th, we hosted MSgt Raymond Archambo of the US Air Force. He discussed medical school scholarships that the Air Force offers. They sound like a pretty nice deal, so if you are interested, the powerpoint presentation is available here! https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.1&thid=12721f0f23d602a7&mt=application%2Fvnd.ms-powerpoint&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3D2%26ik%3D4dd7ed766e%26view%3Datt%26th%3D12721f0f23d602a7%26attid%3D0.1%26disp%3Dattd%26realattid%3Df_g6bj6fk00%26zw&sig=AHIEtbSHUyQwLwd92zh1jNMzDKYD_fCgGQ&pli=1
Also, we will have a CPR/First Aid certification course on Thursday, March11th (next week) from 6:00PM-10:00PM in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building Rm. 100. While four hours may seem like a long time,the normal time for a class like this would be 8 hours. It will be completely free to you, so it is an opportunity that you should definitelytake advantage of! CPR certification will be first, so you can leave after that portion if you don't want to do the First Aid part. Please respond to our email to let me know if you will be attending so that we can get a better head count.
We will be going to tour the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson on Friday, April 9th. There will be a sign-up sheet for this at our March 25th meeting, but make sure to keep this date open if you would like to go. We would be more than happy to write you a letter for your teachers explaining how beneficial the trip will be if you need me to.
The AMSA t-shirt order has been placed. If you didn't put your name down on the list, don't fret because we have ordered a few extras that will be on sale at the next meeting for $12.
If you would be interested in touring the UAB and/or UT Memphis, please reply to our email and let us know. We will need at least 10 people to tour these medical schools.
