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.
