May Webinar Postponed
The APMSA “Residency Preparation” webinar has been placed on hold until the Fall. Unfortunately, after announcing the original date, we received immediate feedback from students that while the topic is of great interest to them, the timing was not ideal for most schools. Many students will be pre-occupied with graduation and exams, while others will be on break. We want to provide and offer a more convenient time for students to participate. Therefore, the APMSA will postpone Dr. Shapiro's webinar until early October.    
The APMSA will be sure to provide you with an update as the new date draws near. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

If you have ideas for future webinars, please email Kimberly Vouzikas at  ktvouzikas@apmsa.org.   

We would like to thank our Partners for their generous support and for making educational opportunities like these webinars possible for our student members.
