Healthy Heart Advocacy and AMSA General Body Meeting - 11/4

Please join us this upcoming Tuesday, November 4^th, for our Healthy Heart Advocacy event from 9am – 4pm at Hornbake Plaza.  Stop by our table to write a fitness goal on a heart so that we can display them on a clothesline around the plaza!  You can also participate in a short cardio-activity to strengthen that heart of yours!  Then again, why not do both??  Help us promote and spread awareness of heart health among the UMD community! 

Later that evening at 7:30pm, we will also be having our 4^th GBM of the semester in Jimenez room (room 2208) in Stamp.  We will be hosting Dr. Casey Rice Scott, a Chief Resident at UMD’s School of Medicine.  Dr. Scott will be talking about Family Medicine, Dr. Scott’s chosen specialty.  If you have any questions about this topic or if you just want to broaden your medical knowledge, please come out to hear Dr. Scott’s talk! 

Please note that prior to the beginning of the GBM, we will be having our Kaplan Auction.  Basically, you get to bid for a Kaplan course, including courses focused on the MCATs and DATs.  However, the courses will not include one-on-one private tutoring nor will it include Kaplan’s Summer Intensive program.  Bidding starts at just $100.  Come out and buy Kaplan courses that are worth thousands of dollars for just a couple hundred; it’s a really great deal! 

Additionally, an extra GBM point will be given to those who attend HPAO’s Returning Med Student Panel, which will be located in Tydings Hall (room 1102) from 5:00pm - 6:30pm on Wednesday, November 5^th. The panel includes current students from UMD’s, JHU’s, and USU’s School of Medicine.  These students will discuss their experiences in medical school, their reflections on their undergraduate years, and what to do with gap years.  This is a great opportunity to hear about what you’re getting yourself into and about what you need to do in order to achieve your goals/dreams!
