HOW WILL I KNOW IF I WON?
You will be
notified if you are a finalist and invited to attend an awards weekend
to be held in Bryan on Saturday, November 3rd. You may come for that Saturday alone, or we will
provide housing in the Bryan/College Station area to those finalists
requesting it for the Friday night before and/or the Saturday night
afterwards.
The day will be
filled with activities that include such things as;
-
A suturing clinic and
contest,
-
A casting clinic and
contest
-
A radiology clinic and
contest and
-
Some laid back R&R
with some Aggie tail-gaiting and BBQ.
The weekend alone
will be well worth your effort, but as if that was not enough, we're
going to announce the Grand Prize Winner of the overseas trip and give
away tons of other prizes. There
will be something for everyone!
