Our efforts will be focused on mentoring and guiding these students towards understanding anatomy in their own way, with the intent to foster an environment that promotes collaborative learning with open feedback responses from medical students who have already completed anatomy. We believe this could be a great opportunity for MMS students as an opportunity to learn how they will shape their study habits, and for our volunteers it will be an opportunity to reinforce our future physician skills of mentorship and educating.

	January 18, 2023 at 10:38 AM	Rejected	AOA's DO Day on Capital Hill	SOMA	01/18/2023	04/19/2023	What: SOMA Members will travel to Washington DC by bus to partake in AOA's 2023 DO Day on Capital Hill. This is a fantastic opportunity for osteopathic medical students to advocate to congress on behalf of the profession, as well as network and meet physicians from their home state. There is a training provided by the AOA prior to the congressional meetings to educate students about the issues that will be discussed in the meetings. This year, it is incredibly important to have a good LECOM representation at DO Day, as two LECOM students will be seated on the National SOMA Board of Trustees. Rebecca Wolff will be serving as the next National SOMA President, and I will be serving as the Region I Trustee. Having LECOM students support the mission of National SOMA by advocating at DO day on the Hill would highlight the importance of student participation, and by having a large student representation we will be showing support for Rebecca in this role. I have attached a tentative memorandum provided by the AOA in the additional documents section of this request. Financial quotes: Andersen Transportation company for a 56-person bus: $4,325 Andersen Transportation company for a 40-person bus: $4,275 Note: a pdf of the Bus Price quotes can be accessed under additional attachments Hotel: DoubleTree by Hilton in Silver Springs 8727 Colesville Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20910 (301) 589-5200 Contact: Joyce Marcan via phone 20 rooms $149 per night +13% tax Bus parking fee at hotel overnight: $50 When: April 19th-20th, 2023 Andersen bus will depart LECOM at 0800 on April 19th. Andersen bus will pick up students from Seton Hill on the way to DC Anticipated arrival in DC: 1800 Andersen bus will depart Washington DC to return to LECOM at 1700 on April 20th. Seton Hill students will be dropped of at Seton Hill's campus on the way back to Erie. How: We are proposing that SOMA provides mass transportation via bus to keep the costs down for students. We also will issue a sign up sheet to organize housing rooms, making sure to keep male and female students in separate rooms. The proposed bus company is Anderson Coach and Travel. The hotel is DoubleTree by Hilton in Silver Springs. There will be a sign up sheet provided to determine those eligible for attending. As per the LECOM policy on conference travel, any student wishing to attend the conference must have a 3.0 GPA, which will be verified by student affairs prior to accepting a student on the trip. Other eligibility will be determined based on class attendance requirements. If there are still students in excess of how many people we are able to transport, priority will be given to current SOMA officers, previous SOMA officers, and SGA officers. Students will be required to fund their own meals while at the conference unless otherwise provided by the AOA. It will be the responsibility of each student to verify their eligibility status with their advisor, as well as academic standing with Student Affairs, prior to attending. Each student will also be responsible for filling out their own excused absence form and submitting it to the appropriate personnel. In addition, it will be the responsibility of each student to catch up on any schoolwork they missed.
	March 16, 2023 at 11:37 PM	Approved	Community of Caring Donation Drive	Spanish Medical Club	03/16/2023	04/10/2023	What Is The Volunteer Event: The Medical Spanish Club has recently been in contact with the Community of Caring, which is a wonderful human services agency in Erie, PA, providing shelter and resources for people experiencing homelessness. The CoC is in constant need of everyday items that are provided for the residents at their emergency shelters. Thus, the Medical Spanish Club is hoping to sponsor a donation drive for our club members and other LECOM students to participate in to provide the CoC with a surplus of goods for those in need. When This Will Occur: We are looking to collect donation items throughout the week of April 10-14th. A collection box will be placed inside the security office during this 5-day time period for students to drop off their donation items are their convenience. Angelina Stone, the President of the MSC, will then plan to drop off the donated items to the CoC on that following Saturday, April 15th. Advertisement: An email will be sent out by Dr. Shabloski on behalf of the MSC to MS1s, MS2s, and faculty. The email will contain a short excerpt of the purpose of this donation drive, the drop off dates, and a google spreadsheet to sign up. The signup sheet will display the desired items to be donated to the CoC, and students and faculty will be able to put their name down for what they would be able to provide. We will be offering 0.5 volunteer hours per product, with a cap at 2 volunteer hours per student. Volunteers/Participants: The google document will then give the MSC a headcount on the total number of participants of this donation drive. On April 14th, the end of the collection period, the items donated will be counted by MSC cabinet members in order to confirm the amount donated correlates relative to the number of items expected per the signup sheet. COVID Mitigation Plan: Since all donation items will be collected in a box within the Security Office on LECOM property, all students donating must keep within LECOM’s current COVID guidelines. As of now, students donating are required to wear face masks. Additionally, when Angelina Stone, MSC President, donates the items to the CoC on April 15th, she will be required to wear a face mask in order to abide by the school’s COVID guidelines as well. Our Primary Contact at the CoC: If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the interim director of the CoC, Chris Tombaugh, at (814)-456-6661.

Sal comes from a Latino family and grew up speaking Spanish; additionally, he has had plenty of knowledge on the importance of speaking Spanish as a healthcare worker. Thus, he is a perfect candidate to teach beginner Spanish to LECOM students! The workshop will be held over zoom, and Sal will focus on teaching Spanish phrases commonly used in a clinical setting and will expand on his experience as a Spanish-speaking medical student to better prepare students for rotations and residency. When This Will Occur: We are looking to hold the zoom session on March 28th, 2024, from 5-6 PM. Advertisement: An email will be sent out by Dr. Shabloski on behalf of the MSC to MS1s and MS2s.

COVID Mitigation Plan: Since this will be held entirely over zoom, no one participating in the workshop would be at risk of being exposed to COVID-19. Our Primary Contact: If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Salvador Hernandez at shernandez88575@med.lecom.edu or (626)-297-5015. Education Purpose: This workshop aims to expand students’ Spanish vocabulary, help students become more comfortable speaking Spanish so as to be prepared to implement what they’ve learned during rotations, and to teach students the importance of learning Spanish to establish better doctor-patient-relationships later on in their careers. The e-mail that Dr. Shabloski will send out to MS1/MS2 students and faculty: (Sent on behalf of the Medical Spanish Club) Hi everyone, Medical Spanish Club is excited to be hosting a Spanish workshop on March 28th, from 5-6 PM! The workshop will be held over zoom, and it will be taught by MS4, Salvador Hernandez. Sal grew up in a Latino family and speaks fluent Spanish. Through the last year-and-a-half of his rotations, he’s gained significant knowledge regarding the importance of implementing Spanish in a clinical setting to prevent miscommunication citation errors and provide the best care possible for Spanish-speaking patients. Not only will he discuss this, but he will also be teaching basic Spanish phrases that are commonly used in a doctor-patient interaction. This will give students the basics and help them become more comfortable speaking Spanish during rotations and residency, as well as help to prepare MS1s for the Spanish summer course coming up in just a few months!
