June 2010 Newsletter Article
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Region V breakfast at PAS. We had a tremendous turnout and got to see Carolyn Holland and Clara Filice present their research as well as view the posters of some of the other winners of our annual Trainee Abstract Competition. We also had a nice discussion about future topics for the Quarterly Regional Teleconferences. Most recent teleconference was on June 8th at Noon EST where Region V Co-chair Michael McKenna presented "Social Networking Sites and Medical Education".
Participate in future Teleconferences online at http://perfectmeetings.clarian.org. If you would like to participate by phone, video conferencing equipment or other means, contact Mike or follow the directions in this link. Remember to test out your connection before the Teleconference so that we can help you troubleshoot any problems.
Future Teleconference dates will be coming out soon and we are reenergizing for a Regional Meeting. We are still working out whether to make this an in person meeting or a virtual meeting. If you have thoughts or directions for future meetings, please let us know. Finally, time is quickly approaching to find the next Region V co-chair. If you are interested, or if you know of someone who would be a good fit, please let us know.
Remember to stay in touch with the news of the region as well as interact with other members by becoming a member of the Region V group on Facebook.
