2017 AMA Medical Student Section
Annual Meeting Agenda Book
39th Annual Meeting | Hyatt Regency Chicago | June 8–10
June 2017

On behalf of the American Medical Association Medical Student Section (AMA-MSS) Governing
Council, we welcome you to the 2017 AMA Medical Student Section Annual Meeting at the
Hyatt Regency Chicago from Thursday, June 8, to Saturday, June 10.

This meeting is a time for medical students from around the country to network and participate
in shaping the future of health care. In this rapidly changing era of medicine, success as a
physician will require more than a mastery of the science learned in a lecture hall. Students will
learn practical skills for leadership, advocacy, health policy analysis, community service, and
career networking during the meeting.

Please take the time to review the official 2017 AMA Medical Student Section Annual Meeting
Agenda Book, which includes everything you will need in order to participate in all of the exciting
education programs, volunteer opportunities, and networking events we have planned. The
complete Agenda Book is available on the AMA Medical Student Section Meeting Resources
webpage. Please download the Agenda Book in its entirety prior to the meeting; printed copies
will not be available. Make sure to bring your laptops; we will be providing internet access to
delegates, as well as extra outlets for charging. Also, be sure to like us on Facebook for AMA-
MSS updates throughout the year: https://www.facebook.com/AMAmedstudents/.

AMA-MSS National Service Project in Chicago: Medication Take Back Day
It is common to have expired or unneeded medications in your home. These pose a safety risk,
as they can easily fall into the wrong hands. However, simply throwing medications in the trash
can threaten the environment. Together, the American Medical Association and the Metropolitan
Water Reclamation District are hosting a medication take back event on Saturday, June 10 in
Chicago. You can quickly drop off any unwanted medications, and they will be safely disposed
of. See the Facebook page lead by the AMA-MSS Committee on Community Service for more
information.
 Saturday, June 10 | 9:00am–12:00pm | Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of
Greater Chicago Headquarter Building 100 E Erie St, Chicago, Illinois

AMA Medical Specialty Showcase & Clinical Skills Workshop
Discover more than 40 specialty societies and professional interest medical associations and
receive career advice from physicians and residents at these organizations. Also, take the
opportunity to gain hands-on instruction on essential medical skills such as airway
management, ultrasound, splinting, suturing, proper blood pressure techniques and more from
the AMA Clinical Skills Workshop. Enter the Sweepstakes by submitting an entry form at any of
the exhibitor booths. Prizes include $100 Hertz certificates, $100 Amazon gift card, Health
Systems Science textbook, gift sets from the AMA and JAMA, and one free registration for
the 2018 AMA Medical Student Advocacy and Region Conference.
 Saturday, June 10 | 11:30am–1:30pm | Riverside Exhibit Hall (East Tower)

Dress code
Business casual is appropriate for the Meeting, including reference committee hearings. We do
ask that business attire be worn by those seated on the days during the AMA House of
Delegates business sessions. This includes reports of the reference committees.

Elections
The AMA-MSS Governing Council elections are scheduled for Saturday, June 10 at 7:30am and
will begin promptly for Assembly to resume at 8:00am. Please carefully review the personal
statements and curriculum vitae that the candidates have submitted for the Election Manual. In
