The Medical School Myth

AMSA National Convention Keynote Speaker Sheri Fink MD PhD

I mentioned in my last blog that I'll be speaking at the American Medical Student Association's Annual Convention in New Orleans on March 7 at 1pm. I also wanted to point out that a former colleague of mine Sheri Fink will be a keynote speaker at the event.

Sheri is a  talented professional and all around-nice person. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for her piece on the deadly choices faced at a New Orleans hospital post-Hurricane Katrina. Sheri's latest book "Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital" was named as a top ten book by the New York Times.

Sheri was interviewed on the Daily Show. You can watch the segment here.

Featured Guest Speaker at AMSA

This is my fifth year as an invited guest lecturer at the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) National Convention. The conference will be held in New Orleans this year, and I'll be speaking on Friday, March 7 at 1pm on "Getting into Residency: An Insider's Tips." Last year I was fortunate to have a completely packed auditorium for my talk.

In years' past, the AMSA national meeting has been the largest annual gathering of medical students in the United States. The conference is a fantastic opportunity to learn and network. Here is more information on the National Convention.
