Hello AMSA members! AMSA is cosponsoring the "Bedside Ultrasound" lunch lecture for the entire first and second year classes. The event takes place this Monday over lunch in the 2nd Year classroom. We'll have simulation devices, student models, and enough Qdoba burritos to feed an army (literally, one for each student in attendance)! Please join us for an amazing event! See the following email and attached flyer for more information. Thanks, Cori Russell AMSA President Recently, the student body has seen a growing need for bedside ultrasound training as a part of competency in our future medical practice. As a result, medical students have come together under a collective initiative to advocate for the incorporation of bedside ultrasound training into our medical school curriculum. The current first year medical school class would like to invite all medical students of the University to attend a lunch lecture covering current research in bedside ultrasound and its potential integration into our school's educational curriculum. The lecture is to be held on *Monday, January 11th, 12:00 PM, in Moos Towers 2-650*. (See attached flyer.) Dr. Robert Reardon, director of HCMC's Emergency Medicine fellowship in Ultrasound, will be speaking to students, administration, and course directors about new developments in ultrasound technology, its benefit to modern medicine, and its proven improvement of patient health outcomes in a variety of clinical cases. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to practice ultrasound-guided procedures on simulation devices and student models. This is your opportunity to engage with other students and University administrative faculty who are interested in bringing this crucial training to our school. On behalf of the University of Minnesota Medical School Student Council, OSR, AMSA, CDIG, EMIG, and IMIG, we welcome your attendance and participation.
