Share your wisdom. Share your love of Medicine. Share a meal with a medical student. DCMS Medical Student Dinner Sunday, Aug. 23, at 6 p.m. Doubletree Hotel Campbell Center 8250 N. Central Expy., Dallas (across the highway from NorthPark Center)

The annual Medical Student Dinner traditionally is held the Sunday evening after the first week of medical school for the fall semester. This event honors freshmen medical students embarking on their career in medicine.

Medical school always will hold special memories for physicians. Because we know that medical school was an important time in a physician’s life, members enjoy welcoming students. 2009 marks our 34th year to invite member physicians to sponsor students at our medical student dinner. Corporate sponsorships are available for the reception at this event.

The 2009 dinner will be Sunday, Aug. 23, at the Doubletree Hotel Dallas Campbell Centre, 8250 N. Central Expy. Students will have just finished their first full week of class. We anticipate that 2009 will rival 2008 in attendance, when DCMS hosted 320 physicians, students and guests, plus James Rohack, M.D., then AMA president-elect, who welcomed students to the family of medicine.

Attendees include the new freshman class at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the practicing physicians who sponsor them. This dinner is hosted by the DCMS Foundation, the medical society’s charitable foundation. All contributions for student meals are tax deductible. For more information, contact Deanna Wooten, director of membership, at 214-413-1431, or e-mail deanna@dallas-cms.org.
