Stanford School of Medicine


AAMC. We have a booth (no. 234) at the AAMC for October 29th 9-1 and 3:30-6:30 and October 30th 10-3:00.

Anyone who has time to “stand in for me” at the booth for an hour or two would be appreciated, especially Sunday Oct 29 from 9 to 10:00.

If you have a poster you would like us to display, talk to me and get one to me in the next couple of weeks and I will make sure it is displayed. (Need to know now since I have to order stands etc.)

So Clarence – a reminder if you want one on cultural competence or professionalism or any component of POM dealing with evaluation get it to me and I will make sure it is up there.

Neil – if you want one on the new curriculum – we can use the existing one or make an updated one.

We will have one dealing with the scholarly concentrations, clerkship evaluation, and course evaluation to be sure.

Take care.
