SMA’s PIT Committee and Staff Take Part in Medical Student Orientations
Members of the Southern Medical Association's (SMA's) Physicians-In-Training Committee, along with SMA staff, recently participated in medical student orientations across the Southern Region to introduce the benefits of joining SMA. These outreach efforts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), the University of South Alabama (USA), and the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) successfully led to the addition of 30 new medical student members.
"It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with medical students across SMA's territory," said Caroline Branche, SMA's Director of Outreach. "I truly enjoyed sharing the various ways SMA can support them on their medical journey, and I look forward to seeing their future involvement with the organization."
