Introducing: MedEvent

The BUSM chapter of AOA and BUMC IT have collaborated to create a website that allows BUSM faculty, MD residents, and MD and PA students to easily view and attend online Medical Campus events, including the recently introduced faculty office hours and departmental grand rounds.

The new website MedEvent provides a concise calendar format of events identified by type. The site is easy to use and includes features that allow users to expand event details and “follow” events of interest by adding them to a personal “My Events” calendar.

The intended goals of MedEvent include:

  • Increase student access to educational conferences.
  • Create opportunities for students to attend clinical and basic science conferences.
  • Increase faculty-student interaction through remote “office hour” events (faculty in medical and surgical specialties will be available for office hours).
  • Improve student access to faculty to discuss sub-specialty practice and career development.
  • Consolidate events for BUSM faculty, MD residents, MD and PA students.

MedEvent is available now, and requires BU authentication.
