OSR Southern Regional Update

November 2009

Greetings from the South! Congrats on a making Boston a great Annual Meeting! In the coming months, make note of new thoughts to bring to the National Spring Regional Meeting on April 17-21, 2010: REsponsibly FORMing Our Future, Hitting the Right Note in Austin.

As we left Boston with a Health Reform bill passed, this meeting promises to be both timely and stimulating!

  • Until then, stay in the loop with more legislative affairs updates, brought to you by new SOSR delegate Nathan Copeland and the Legislative Affairs committee.
  • Closer to our daily lives, Bill Teeter is creating an annual meeting digest with the Communications team to review all that was discussed and shared in the meeting. Stay tuned!
  • Post-super-successful career fair in Boston, Phillip Murray is already working with the Community and Diversity committee to plan the career fair in Austin! The team also continues to make progress on their GoogleMap project of AAMC schools.
  • Elizabeth Schulz and the Med Ed team put together a great review of innovative medical curricula. TIME project links are on Blackboard (Medical Education Committee's Tracking Innovations in Medical Education (TIME) Submissions)
  • New Southern delegate for Student Affairs, Richie Edeen, is working with his committee as they continue to analyze the financial burden on medical students. Check out the FIRST links to financial/debt online.

Interested in a liaison position? Applications are due on Jan 4!

Congrats again to our new OSR National Officers from the Southern Region:

  • Dave Friedlander - National Chair-Elect
  • Joe Thomas - National Delegate on Medical Education
  • Thure Caire - National Delegate on Legislative Affairs

Please contact me with any questions.
