To start off the first general meeting of Spring quarter, AMSA officers held a panel on the various clinical, on campus jobs, and lab research positions they currently hold. A few of the clinical jobs included were Phlebotomy, a Medical assistant (MA), an Emergency medical technician (EMT), and Scribes. Shadowing, clinical volunteer work, and research were also important topics highlighted by our officers. A few of the on campus jobs mentioned were Supplemental Instructors, Residential Life staff, and office assistants. Our amazing officers gave wonderful insight about the training and certifications required to earn a license or be hired, as well as the general duties that the job entails.
At this year's Highlander Day, many prospective UCR students visited our table to learn what the American Medical Student Association is all about! AMSA members had the opportunity to share the various events held by the club, such as volunteer opportunities, talks held by health professionals, as well as suturing and CPR class. AMSA had an amazing time talking about the resources provided to assist students as they pursue the medical field. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, we hope to see you next year!
