Hi AMSA members: Just wanted to give a quick update on the Regional Conference. It will be October 22-23, 2004 at the Hubert H. Humphrey Center on the West Bank. We will be featuring a residency fair on Friday afternoon, which I strongly encourage all of you to attend, and most excitingly, we have just confirmed two really fantastic keynote speakers. Friday morning, Michael Osterholm will be speaking. He is a great speaker and his work as an epidemiologist has made him known worldwide--Thanks to Sarah Nakib for working with him! Saturday evening, to close the conference, we will have Patch Adams. He has done amazing public service with his abilities as a physician and I am so excited that he has agreed to speak to us. If anyone has any ideas or is interested in getting involved, please let me know. 612-333-0408 or [log in to unmask] Have a good one, Lucie
