Subject: Symposium on November 21st
Dear Ms. Wood-Hill,
The 3rd Annual New York Regional Symposium of the American Physician
Scientists Association (APSA) will be taking place November 21, 2009 at
Mount Sinai School of Medicine. APSA is a national student organization
dedicated to serving physician-scientists in training and is particularly
focused on providing resources, networking and career development. One goal
of our organization is to provide vertical mentoring for pre-medical,
medical, and MD/PhD students interested in having a research component to
their career.
The 2009 Symposium will feature keynote presentations focused on research
and career development by Jean-Laurent Casanova, MD, PhD., Jo Hannafin,
MD,PhD, and Elaine Fuchs, PhD. Breakout sessions with panel discussions
will allow attendees to gather information about a broad variety of topics
including MD vs. MD/PhD vs. PhD career options, transitions throughout
MD/PhD training, and advice on residency programs and admissions.
This year, we are very fortunate to have Dr. Skip Brass, the Director of the
MD/PhD Program at the University of Pennsylvania, providing admissions
advice to pre-medical students in attendance.
Could you forward the updated notice below to the pre-medical students in
your school?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and we hope many of your students
will benefit from attending this symposium!
Sincerely,
David Braun
President, American Physician Scientists Association
