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
