Subject: APAMSA Regional Conference inviting pre-med students


Dear Ms. Lolita Wood-Hill,

My name is Simon Sung and I'm a first year medical student at Columbia
College of Physicians and Surgeons and co-president for Asian Pacific
American Medical Students Association (APAMSA). This is the first year that
our school is hosting a regional conference, and we're really excited about
our theme of Professional Development!

We think that premedical students would reap major benefits by attending
this conference, and we're planning to attract  premedical students by
hosting a pre-med panel featuring medical students from all over the NY/NJ
region who will talk and answer questions about not only med school
admissions but also about student life, the importance of picking the right
medical school, what to expect, etc. It will also be a chance to mingle with
students and meet some top-notch physicians and residents!

Is it possible for you to distribute this blurb (below)  to the premed email
list? I don't mean to spam your Listserv but I really think this is a great
opportunity for students to find out about their career choice and what lies
ahead. Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Simon Sung
