Over the last two weeks we have had some awesome speakers. Last Wednesday we had a Jack Helgesen, a malpractice attorney come and speak to us. He spoke about both the process of malpractice suits, and how not to be sued. He had great statistics and a tons of information. He gave some great advice at the end on how not to be sued. He said the key was to be honest and humble, doctors who are liked by their patients are not sued.
Today we had a guest speaker talk about Kaplan's test prep program, and offered a $300 discount to AMSA members. If anyone is interested contact an AMSA officer. Dr. Trask then took up the remainder of the time informing us of a new and upcoming class being offered in the Spring. "Life in Medicine" will be a one credit, pass/fail class offered Thursdays 7:30-8:20. Two local surgeons, Dr. Goff and Dr. Moesinger, will teach the class and discuss everything from getting in to medical schools, to current problems in health care, to everyday activities of a physician. It should be a super class, look for it when you register Chem/Zoo/Micro 1810!
