The Patagonia's will allow for custom embroidery and will feature the school crest logo (attached). The event will take place remotely (with pick up at the school), in the early Fall Semester. A Google Form will be sent out as soon upon event approval, and the sale will run through late August.

Multiple types of Patagonia jackets will be offered, including vests, full zip jackets, and quarter zip jackets. Pick up will be in the LECOM cafeteria.
May 13, 2025 at 1:31 PMApprovedMMS Review NightsSOMA05/13/202508/04/2025The Pre-SOMA branch is dedicated to providing an inclusive learning environment for students who have not yet started osteopathic medical school. The Pre-SOMA directors (and potentially other SOMA volunteers) at LECOM would like to host review night Q & A sessions/and or review presentations for the MMS students here at our LECOM campus. Our efforts will be focused on mentoring and guiding these students towards understanding courses and high yield concepts in their own way outside of structured lectures, with the intent to foster an environment that promotes collaborative learning with open feedback responses from medical students who have previously been in the MMS program and are now successful in the MS1 class. We believe this could be a great opportunity for MMS students to learn how they will shape their study habits, and for our directors it will be an opportunity to reinforce our future physician skills of mentorship and educating.

The room has been reserved by Rebecca Banta. Dr. Stephany Esper will be speaking at the event by describing how individuals are matched with one of the five elements followed by explaining certain dysfunctions they can have within their element and how to treat those. While she explains, Dr. Hendryx has agreed to perform acupuncture on selected students of different elements so students can understand the practice better and receive exposure to the use of acupuncture. Our goal is to expose SOMA members to another method of healing different from traditional medicine with a more integrative, osteopathic focus. This will allow our members to expand their horizons and become more well-rounded through the knowledge of different holistic practices.
