Duke at the APAMSA Hepatitis B Conference 2012
Duke students recently attended the APAMSA Hepatitis B Conference 2012 on November 10 at The Westin Copley Hotel in Boston, MA. We heard many interesting talks and learned from other students around the country who are conducting Hepatitis B education and screenings in their communities. Duke APAMSA plans to have our own initiative for Hepatitis B in our community.

Any questions or suggestions? Please send an email to Victoria Kim or Rachelle Rebong or to dukemed.apamsa@gmail.com.
1. Intros & Mission of APAMSA (as outlined on the website)
2. Overview of past APAMSA activities
-Conferences: We've sent representatives to the National APAMSA meeting every year as well as the National Hep B meeting last year.
-Education: We've invited speakers to Duke -- Dr. So (Director of the Asian Liver Center at Stanford) and Dr. Fried (Director of Hepatology at UNC) -- to speak about Hep B.
-Service: We've participated in Hep B blood screenings, a blood pressure screening, and bone marrow drives at Asian health fairs and on campus.
-Miscellaneous: Our socials usually center around food (Asian food, of course). We've gone to Awaaz together as a group, had lunch with visiting Taiwanese students, held videoconference sessions with Duke-NUS, and welcomed incoming students during Second Look Weekend. The idea for Duke's Medical Chinese program also came from our members.
3. Announcements/Upcoming APAMSA activities
-Conferences: We are sending 3 representatives to the 2009 National APAMSA Conference in Los Angeles, with funding from the MRC. We are also sending 2 representatives to the National Hepatitis B Conference in Boston.
-Social: We will hold 1 social this fall semester. Awaaz? Any other suggestions?
-Bone Marrow Registry Drive: We are once again collaborating with SNMA and this time AMA to hold a Bone Marrow Registry Drive on the Duke undergrad campus. It will be held on 11/11/09 at the Bryan Center Walkway on West Campus from 11 am to 1 pm. We need volunteers so please mark you calendars! More details to follow soon.
-The Triangle Asian health fair usually held in the fall has been cancelled. We will continue to keep in touch with the fair organizers and try to work with them in the Spring.

-Invite speakers about cultural sensitivity, holistic medicine, Eastern medicine
