Annual Best Medicine Show set for Feb. 24

Written by
BMSStudents from the  UAB School of Medicine  take the stage Friday, Feb. 24, 2017 at the newly restored Lyric Theatre for The Best Medicine Show, an annual philanthropic event showcasing the students’ creative sides with short digital films, music and dance. Proceeds from the event go to  Equal Access Birmingham, a student-run program that operates a free primary care clinic for underserved people in the Birmingham area.

The Best Medicine Show, hosted by the School of Medicine Student Senate and presented by UAB’s Departments of Medicine and Surgery, is an opportunity for students to use their ideas poking fun at medical student life and turn those ideas into live acts, songs and videos. Live talent for the show includes dance groups, bands, singers, comedy acts and more.

And though the performers may be poking fun at their own lives, the show’s organizers say there will be acts anyone can enjoy. In addition to being a creative outlet, the show allows medical students to give back to Birmingham. 

The show begins at 7 p.m. inside the Lyric Theatre, 1800 3rd Ave N, Birmingham. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Advance tickets are $15 for students and $20 for general admission. Visit  www.thestudentsenate.com/best-medicine-show  to purchase tickets or find more information. See the Best Medicine show on Facebook: www.facebook.com/bestmedicineshow.
