A-17 MSS Agenda Book

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.

Can I still use it? Our previous app ("AMA Events") is no longer supported and does not contain information for the 2016 Annual Meeting. Please delete this app from your device -- to avoid confusion -- and download our current mobile app, "AMA Meetings." Where can I download the new mobile app? The new "AMA Meetings" mobile app is available for iPhone and Android devices in Apple's App Store and the Google Play store. You can find the app in either store by searching for "AMA Meetings." The app is asking me to log in. Why do I need to log-in? Once you log in to the mobile app, you will be able to access the same schedules, bookmarks, reminders, notes, and contacts on your phone, tablet, and desktop. Where can I get my log-in information? The log-in process is largely self-managed. Follow the steps below to log in from your device: Access the Sign In page: Tap the hamburger icon in the upper-left corner to open the side nav, then Log In.

Open it and tap Verify Account. You'll see your confirmation code has already been carried over. Just tap Finish. You'll be taken back to the Event Guide with all those features unlocked. I've requested log-in information, but I never received an email. If you haven't received your log-in information, one likely culprit may be your spam filter. We try to tailor our email communications to avoid this filter, but some emails end up there anyway. Please first check the spam folder of your email client. The sender may be listed as CrowdCompass or AMA Meetings. I lost my log-in info, and I forgot my confirmation code. How do I log myself back in?
