AAPA's August Newsletter to Pre-PA Advisors and Clubs

Good morning,

 

Welcome to AAPA’s newsletter for pre-PA student organizations. As you may know, my name is Rebecca, and my goal is to provide the resources you need to support pre-PAs at your institution. I have some exciting updates for you, and as always, encourage you to pass this information forward to the pre-PAs you represent and guide each day.

 

Ø  New Resource - Explore your Toolkit for Advisors and Pre-PA Clubs

If you've found most online pre-PA information overwhelming and disorganized, then you may be happy to hear that the AAPA Pre-PA Advisor and Clubs Toolkit is now available! This complimentary resource provides all the tools you need to support pre-PAs on your campus, including information about the PA profession, the steps to becoming a PA, and opportunities for gaining experience. The toolkit also includes tips for starting a pre-PA club on your campus, recorded presentations, and more. Check it out today!

 

Ø  Fall 2024 - Schedule your AAPA Pre-PA Presentation

Now’s the time to schedule a live, virtual AAPA presentation this fall semester. Invite me to meet with your pre-PAs, discuss the role of a PA, and support PA school applicants. Content can be adapted to your needs, and hosted on Zoom or Teams – just let me know a day that works for you.

 

Ø  August-December – Invite your pre-PAs to an AAPA live webinar or event

AAPA hosts specialized pre-PA and student webinars each month. Visit our Pre-PA Membership page for upcoming online learning opportunities. (Psst … Here is a sneak peek of a fun opportunity coming soon: The 2024 Virtual Pre-PA Mixer will be hosted this October. Details coming soon!)

 

My inbox is always open for pre-PA questions. We would love to provide any support we can so that your pre-PAs receive the most current, accurate information about the PA profession and PA education.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rebecca Jacobs

Pre-PA & Student Membership Coordinator, AAPA

This year’s Southeastern Medical Scientist Symposium (SEMSS) will be hosted at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN from September 21-22! Gather with over 250 other aspiring physician scientists from across the country for a weekend full of science and medicine. We are excited to host a wide range of workshops and keynote speakers. In addition, there will be ample opportunity to present your own research during a poster session and an oral presentation session. This will be an excellent conference to not only meet with other trainees, but also speak with current MD/PhD Directors and PSTP/Residency Directors from Vanderbilt, Emory, and UAB. Undergraduate travel awards, oral abstracts, and poster abstracts are all due August 16th. Please note that you do not need to present to attend this conference!

Invitation to Virtual Career Fair in Neuroscience and Society (Sept 9-12, 2024)

Hello! I hope this email finds you well. My name is Chinmayi, and I am a Research Assistant for the Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society (neuroXcareers.org). 

I am writing with an invitation and opportunity for your students to participate in our free Virtual Career Fair in Neuroscience and Society from September 9-12, 2024. This event will feature professionals discussing interdisciplinary fields related to neuroscience, including but not limited to neurolaw, neuroeconomics, neuromarketing, neuroethics, and neuroscience and public health.

 

The Career Network’s mission is to broaden and diversify the community of scholars and practitioners in these emerging fields, which risk becoming insular without active recruitment of new voices. As such, we are particularly focused on reaching students in schools and regions that have not previously been exposed to these opportunities. Our goal is to connect students with further opportunities and foster new careers in the neuroscience and society space.  

Event Details:

• Date and Time: September 9-12, 2024 from 7-9 pm Eastern on Zoom
• Registration Link: https://umn.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAlcOuprTwvGND_8J4rnS0wE175XCgafxlk#/registration 
• Format: The first hour of each night will feature 3-5 speakers providing a brief introduction to their work and career trajectory. This will be followed by open discussion and in the second hour, breakout room networking opportunities for students.
• Audience: Based on last year’s experience, we anticipate several hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds to be in attendance.

To stay informed about our events, news, and opportunities in neuroscience and society, we offer an email newsletter. The subscription page is available here.  

 

Best wishes,

Chinmayi Balusu, MPH

Research Assistant, Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society
