| Lessons/suggestions | Involve other colleges. The PA students are required to have large amounts of equipment. We disseminated information to them in conjunction with one of their lectures on medical equipment. For advertising purposes, for the start of the sale, know if the representative means he will be ready to sell by that time, or if he will arrive and need to set-up. |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | Approximately 100 people purchased equipment. Many more picked up pricing sheets, and since the sale was very visible in the school lobby, it provided an excellent opportunity for continuing AMSA recruitment. |
