UNIVERSITY MEDICAL STUDENT COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR SEPTEMBER 23, 2000 MEETING IN PEORIA

Our first meeting may be of particular interest to many students. Dean Sandlow will be giving a presentation about the upcoming accreditation process at UIC, and he will explain how students can become involved. I will be giving a presentation about Project Medical Education. The concept of this initiative is to invite the staffs of all Illinois state legislators for a 1 and 1/2 day session aimed at educating our state legislature about academic medical centers and medical issues, UIC in particular. The PME session will take place in February at the UIC Chicago campus.

Voting members, if you cannot attend the upcoming meeting, please email your excused absence requests to me. These requests will be reviewed by the executive board. Being on-call does not qualify as an excused absence, please switch your call to another day. If you are having trouble switching your call, notify the executive board and we will contact your attending physician.

Peoria committee members, you are required to attend this meeting and present the report from your committee to UMSC. If you are unable to attend, contact me as soon as possible and arrange to have a committee member from another campus give the committee report.

The UMSC Executive Board Secretary has recently resigned. A new secretary will be elected at the beginning of the meeting. All members are welcome to run, but is customary for this position to be filled by a student who has at least one year experience on UMSC.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions/comments/additions to the agenda, etc. I will send you a reminder the week preceding the meeting with information regarding the room location and directions to the Peoria campus. I look forward to seeing all of you at the meeting!
