The event, held March 18 at The Old Medical School Building,
is the embodiment of our mission to promote the science, art and
profession of medicine, with GLMS members contributing their
time, perspective and passion for the benefit of young future physicians just setting out on their journey. The event also incorporated
the GLMS mission by employing the use of The Old Medical School

like these which educate our community and can help inspire the
next generation of physicians.
