Dear AOCPMR Student Members,

On behalf of the National Student Conference Planning Committee, thank you for taking your first step towards an incredible experience- joining us in Philadelphia for the 2012 AOCPMR National Student Conference!  Above, you will find your personal invitation to Student Conference, posters you can use to spread the word about our event in your local chapter and school, a planned schedule of events, and links for registering for the conference and hotel.  Our event will officially begin on Saturday, April 21, 2012 with opening remarks at 8am, but if your schedules allow you to arrive in Philadelphia a little early, members will be getting together for a fun night in Philadelphia on Friday night.

As you can see below, Saturday and Sunday will include non-stop action with a terrific line up of speakers, topics, and workshops that you won’t see anywhere else.  You’ll also notice that we’ve expanded and combined our PM&R Residency Fair and AOCPMR Scientific Assembly- two amazing opportunities for students. There will also be significant networking opportunities with attending physicians throughout the 2-day event.  Please take a moment to review the information on this page and then reserve your spot at the conference.  But make sure to do it soon – registration fees increase after March 1st . More importantly, we have limited the number of attendees to ensure students get the most out of the workshops and other activities, so spots will be limited and this conference will sell out.  This is one conference you won’t want to miss!

Regards,

Angela Vrooman, OMS-IV
National Student Conference Chair
