JOIN THE PRESTIGIOUS WEAR
THE WHITE COAT PROGRAM!
GREATER LOUISVILLE MEDICAL SOCIETY
WEAR THE
WHITE
COAT
This fall, GLMS will proudly
host the 5th annual Wear
the White Coat program,
giving business and community leaders the unique
opportunity to shadow a
physician preceptor for a
day. GLMS wants you as a
preceptor!
The program begins
Wednesday, October 14, at
7:30 a.m. with breakfast at
the Kentucky Science Center. There, preceptors
and community leaders will be introduced and
schedule a day of shadowing. Attendees will also
watch a live interactive heart surgery thanks to the
Pulse of Surgery program. Following individual
shadowing sessions, a reception and dinner will
be held at the Old Medical School Building on
Wednesday, November 4 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Wear the White Coat is an excellent opportunity for
physicians to get involved and network with other
Louisville community leaders. Preceptors and community participants have repeatedly praised the
program for allowing a window behind the scenes
of practicing physicians. Please share your time to
prove how incredible it is to be a physician.
To volunteer as a physician preceptor, contact
Membership Coordinator Jennifer Howard at
[email protected] or 502-736-6362.
LEGISLATIVE TOWN HALL FAST
APPROACHING
The GLMS Legislative Town Hall featuring Kentucky Senators Ralph Alvarado, MD, and Morgan
McGarvey will be held at the Old Medical School
building on September 24 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Moderated by GLMS Treasurer and Chair of the
Policy and Advocacy Team Frank Burns, MD, the
evening’s objective is to learn from both parties
about what actions occurred in the 2015 Kentucky
General Assembly and to gain perspective about
what can be expected in the 2016 session.
The GLMS Policy and Advocacy Team is hopeful
that issues which received attention during this
year’s session such as fair contracting, maintenance of certification and Smoke Free Kentucky
will move forward with positive legislative action
in the 2016 session.
Wine and appetizers will be served. All GLMS members and their guests are invited.
To RSVP for the September 24 Legislative Town Hall
or to join the Policy and Advocacy Team, contact:
