This month, UAMS EMIG has decided to support the Arkansas Food Bank with something that we are calling "Food Bank February." Students are taking shifts to help sort items, stock shelves, and donate non-perishable items every time they go! #EMRAGood

100% endorse. Fantastic advice that every residency applicant would be wise to consider. Obvious bias aside, I think @UAMS_EM and @UAMS_COM do pretty well on these criteria. @UAMSEMIG

[UAMSEMIG @UAMSEMIG]

Thank you to everyone who donated to this year's clothing drive! Everything has been washed/disinfected and has been taken to the Jackson House in Hot Springs, AR.

Last night, we had our Toxicology 101 Meeting where @paigeplum_EM and @LaneG_EM went over the most common toxidromes and a quick guide to differentiating most of them.

Our last officer spotlight for the year is our M1 representative Kikko Haydar (@akaKikko). He is a former Arkansas Razorback basketball star and is currently involved in a startup company with an app for patients that integrates into the EMR called navigatER. Somebody hire him!

[UAMSEMIG @UAMSEMIG]

ATTENTION ALL EMIGS:
Make sure your M3s are informed! Last week, we had a meeting dedicated to understanding VSAS, EM rotations, and the importance of the SLOE.

Very thankful for previous EMIG presidents who put this lecture together and passed it on to us! #EMRAGood
