On the evening of Friday, March 1, 2013 at 7:00, medical students of the University of Alabama School of Medicine will drop their books to hit the stage and the silver screen at the historic Alabama Theatre for what has been aptly named, The Best Medicine Show. At this philanthropic event hosted by the UASOM Student Senate, medical students will showcase their artistic side with a night of short digital films, dance, and music for an evening of hilarity and entertainment.



For over 20 years, medical students at UAB have garnered their wit, creativity, and time to put on a show known as Skit Night. At this event, students were able to enjoy their collective humor and artistic abilities at a leisurely affair that took place in one of their own lecture halls. In 2011, the students decided to take Skit Night to the next level by relocating to the historic Alabama Theatre, upgrading the quality of their skits, adding live acts, and introducing a philanthropic mission.

But that was just the beginning.

In 2012, the UASOM Student Senate raised $56,000 for Equal Access Birmingham, a student-run community-service initiative, through sponsorship, donations, and a match from the Dean’s Office at the School of Medicine. This generous gift allowed for the opening of the new EAB Clinic on November 11, 2012 at the Church of the Reconciler, a few blocks away from the Alabama Theatre. The new clinic offers a free, primary-care home to the underserved people of Birmingham as well as a priceless opportunity for medical students to give back to their community.

After witnessing the success of an organization driven by their peers, the Student Senate has chosen to renew its support of Equal Access Birmingham and its mission. Students have been working for months to ensure that this year’s show will be bigger and better. Be sure to get your tickets before they are sold out!
