PHYSICIANS NEEDED
TO GUIDE MED
STUDENTS
GLMS’s lauded Specialty Speed Networking event is back for a
6th year and in need of physician volunteers who are passionate about their specialties.
This is a one-time volunteer
commitment that exposes
University of Louisville
medical students to a variety of specialties through
a format similar to “speed
dating.”
More than 250 Kentucky physicians visited Louisville this weekend
for the Kentucky Medical Association’s Meet the Mandates CME
event.
KMA offered the meeting to help members meet their CME requirements before the CME cycle ends on December 31, 2014. The full
day of education featured sessions on every CME mandate required
by physicians to maintain licensure.
For more information on future CME events, visit www.kyma.org
or contact the KMA office at 502-426-6200.
The event will be held at The

Specialty Speed Networking is a popular event for the GLMS
physicians and medical students who participate. Students spend
several minutes at each specialty table speaking to the physician
volunteer and rotate through all tables throughout the evening.
The goal is for the students to leave with a better idea of what
they may, or may not, want to specialize in as they move forward
in their training.
To volunteer, contact Jennifer Howard at jennifer.howard@glms.
org or 502-736-6362. Please be aware that GLMS only schedules
one volunteer per specialty, therefore volunteers need to be sure
they will be available before committing.
