Hi there!
WE CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO OUR HOLIDAY PARTY!
Just wanted to give you a quick recap of last week’s events!
The CU AMSA Bioethics Committee speaker event with Dr. Rita Charon on “Narrative Medicine & Bioethics” attracted a large crowd in Hamilton 404! Many of the students who attended came up to us afterward and told us that the session had been been truly inspiring. Dr. Charon (& the CU AMSA Bioethics Committee) has that effect on people! To get involved in our Bioethics committee, come to their weekly committee meetings on Mondays from 8:30pm-9:30pm in Hamilton 401!
The CU AMSA Public Health Committee tradition “FINALS MENTAL HEALTH” went “SMASHINGLY!” Pictures and video below.
Don’t forget, this week we have two exciting events for you:
1. Policy & Practice in Women’s Public Health with CU AMSA Public Health & Women in Medicine Committees!
Monday, Dec. 3 at 7:30pm in Lerner Cinema
Join us for panel discussion co-hosted by the Public Health and Women in Medicine committees of CU AMSA. Come hear the perspectives of a practicing OB/GYN, a specialist in Female Internal Medicine, and the Executive Director of Health Leads New York about issues facing Women and their Health in today’s world of medicine and public health. There will be a Q&A session.
There will be FREE refreshments! Join our Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/498426920190003/
2. HOLIDAY PARTY & STUDY BREAK with CU AMSA and Charles Drew!
Tuesday, Dec. 4 from 8PM-9PM in Lerner Party Space
Come sip on FREE hot cocoa, snack on festive treats & candy, and forget all your midterms and finals woes with CU AMSA and Charles Drew! Upperclassmen pre-meds with a wide range of experiences and interests from both organizations will be on hand to talk about and give sound advice on whatever you want, whether that be looking for and applying for summer opportunities, classes for the next semester, and/or random tidbits of pre-med wisdom. Can’t wait to see you there! Join our Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/457548970949441/?fref=ts
