Channel Your Inner Lewis & Clark

Every Friday AAMSE's Gateway to Discovery will be featuring interesting information about the 

2013 Annual Conference host city: St. Louis.

209 years ago, on May 14, 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark departed from 20 miles northwest of St. Louis, Missouri, marking the beginning of their westward expedition, The Corps of Discovery. 

Commissioned by Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark along with the 31 other members of the Corps of Discovery spent two years trekking across the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase.  During their exploration of the vast and unknown western territory they traveled over 8,000 miles and made numerous discoveries about the geography, plants, animals and native people of the American West.




At the 2013 AAMSE Annual Conference in St. Louis, we encourage you to make your own discoveries as you explore educational sessions planned specifically for and by medical society professionals, take in the sights of St. Louis and enjoy the fabulous surroundings of  the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis hotel.
