	September 26, 2022 at 1:52 PM	Approved	Decompression Session: Painting and a Discussion on Barriers to Mental Health Care	Mental Health Task Force	09/26/2022	10/27/2022	This will be a painting session with a discussion on barriers to mental health care hosted by the SGA Mental Health Task Force that seeks to act as a place to decompress and engage in a hobby as stress relief practice, as well as a space to discuss mental health in medical students. Dr. Melanie Dunbar will be present for the duration of the meeting as a facilitator along with the members of the mental health task force. We know that medical students are more likely to live with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders (Maser et al., 2019), and that having discussions about our experiences works to destigmatize and reduce stress around seeking treatment (Hankier et al., 2014). An additional reason to have the coinciding painting session will give students a physical activity to focus on to make students feel more comfortable contributing to the discussion and sitting through silent periods. We will discuss different barriers that one might encounter to seeking mental health care, including cultural, geographical, financial, and other societal barriers. We will discuss stigma around mental health illness and treatments, including medications, and ways we can work to break down those stigmas. This will not be a therapy session, it will be a discussion on the difficulties medical students face and the associated stigma and barriers to mental health care. It will also be a place to remind students of the resources and support that they have available to them. This session will be held October 27th at 6pm in the Vora lounge. An RSVP form will be created to determine how many materials to purchase for the event. Materials will be purchased in bulk off Amazon, and unused materials will be saved for a future Goody bag event. Plastic tablecloths will be purchased to protect the tables, the paint will be washable for easy removal, and cleaning materials will be purchased to ensure that the lounge is left spotless after our session. Cleaning up will be done by the members of the Mental Health Task Force, and leftover materials will be added to SGA storage for continued use. “Relative to the general population of postsecondary graduates aged 20–34, medical students aged 20–34 had significantly higher rates of diagnosed mood disorders, diagnosed anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation, and psychological distress.” Maser, Brandon MD; Danilewitz, Marlon MD; Guérin, Eva PhD; Findlay, Leanne PhD; Frank, Erica MD, MPH.

	March 23, 2022 at 12:10 PM	Rejected	Weight Stigma and Mental Health	Mental Health Task Force	03/23/2022	04/13/2021	This will be a MHTF-guided discussion on the impact of weight stigma on mental health and health outcomes. We will discuss how weight stigma in medicine has affected our relationship with medical practitioners and could affect our future patients. Using examples from medical and public health literature, we’ll examine our view of obesity as an epidemic and as a measure of mortality risk, and how that has influenced medical perspectives on weight. We will also discuss the genetic and socioeconomic components of weight, and how those might be barriers to thinness. Finally, we will also brainstorm together how we, as future physicians, can help address weight stigma in our practice, such as asking permission to discuss weight and trusting patients to know their own bodies. Those who participate actively will get a $10 gift card, as this event will be in lieu of the monthly breakfast.
	March 13, 2022 at 7:35 PM	Cancelled	Fatphobia in Medicine	Mental Health Task Force	03/13/2022	04/13/2022	This will be a MHTF-guided discussion on the impact of weight stigma in medicine and the mental health consequences of that stigma on patients and their health outcomes. We will discuss how fatphobia has impacted us personally and continues to be present in our medical journey, and how that has affected our relationship with medical practitioners and could affect our future patients. Using examples from medical and public health literature, we’ll examine our view of obesity as an epidemic and as a measure of mortality risk, and how that has influenced medical perspectives on weight. We will also discuss the genetic and socioeconomic components of weight, and how those might be barriers to thinness. Finally, we will also brainstorm together how we, as future physicians, can help address fatphobia in our practice and make patients more comfortable, such as asking permission to discuss weight and trusting patients to know their own bodies.

	September 25, 2024 at 6:52 PM	Approved	Are you smarter than a MS-2?	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	09/25/2024	10/28/2024	This will be a fun and engaging event to celebrate the end of anatomy and cardio for the first and second years. Second years can brush up on their knowledge and first years can show off what they just learned. It will be a good way to join the two classes as well. Students will participate in a jeopardy-style game in teams of 4 with topics including anatomy, embryology, and histology. There will be a chance to win prizes for the top 3 teams. This event will take place in LHC. To mitigate covid risks, we will ask anyone who is sick to please not attend.
	April 20, 2023 at 2:33 PM	Expired	AMMSA-LECOM: Eid Celebration	AMMSA	04/20/2023	04/28/2023	This was an already approved event. We decided to go forward with a guest speaker for our event and change the location. The guest speaker is Dr. Salman Muazzam Muddassir, the program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program from Oak Hill Hospital, Brooksville, FL. He will be joining us through Zoom to provide us with some words on Islam in Medicine. His contact information and CV are attached to this request and the new location is updated. During the Islamic month called Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset for 30 days and end with a celebration called Eid ul Fitr. We would like to host this celebration on April 28th at 7:00 PM at the Hammocks at Millcreek (4554 Hammocks Dr, Erie, PA 16506). We will be catering food from an outside vendor for dinner and are planning on charging $10 per person to help cover some of the expenses, and would like to use our budget to cover the remaining expenses. Educational purpose: Educate the campus about Eid traditions, celebrate an important Muslim holiday, and help diversify the community COVID mitigation plan: The event will take place in a space big enough for people to be spread out and mask enforcement will be followed based on the COVID case numbers. Vendor choices: As-Salam, Cleveland Grocers, Desi Khabba, or Paradise Biryani Pointe (we have not decided on a restaurant yet but these are our options)
	January 31, 2023 at 11:23 AM	Approved	Why Anesthesiology? A Speaker Event	Anesthesiology Club	01/31/2023	03/09/2023	This Speaker Event will take place on March 9th, 2023 from 6:30PM to 7:30PM. It will take place over Zoom, and Dr. Brandi Hobbs has generated an hour long zoom link for this. She will also be present during this virtual event. The two guest speakers that will join the panel are Dr. Ibrahim Umer, DO and Dr. Lisa Solomon, DO. Dr. Ibrahim Umer is a former LECOM alumni and current first-year Anesthesiology resident at St. Joseph University Medical Center. Dr. Lisa Solomon is an Assistant Professor at RUSH Medical College who completed a fellowship in Cardiothoracic Anesthesia from Loyola University Medical Center. Dr. Umer’s phone number is (201)-888-0796 and Dr. Solomon’s phone number is (630)-986-7423. The proposed participants will be club members who will sign up through a Google Form and submit any questions/topics they’d like discussed. We will be asking that the below email and flyer be forwarded to the classes of 2025 and 2026 and to the faculty of the College of Medicine. Dr. Umer and Dr. Solomon will be providing their insights into the field of anesthesiology and weigh in on matching, residency, and other topics. We aim to have our two guests provide differing perspectives, as one is a first year resident and the other is an assistant professor who has completed a fellowship. Students will be able to gain valuable exposure to the field of anesthesiology through these two physicians, especially with one being a former LECOM alumni. The event will be held over Zoom to mitigate COVID concerns.

	February 11, 2019 at 4:10 PM	Rejected	Blaze Pizza Fundraiser	SOMA	02/11/2019	02/25/2019	This is the second fundraiser I wanted to organize for my health disparities coordinator position. The first one is the Jo Coffee fundraiser. Since we are raising money for 2 organizations, I thought 2 fundraiser events would raise enough money to donate to both. This one is simple. Students simply show up to Blaze Pizza and show them the flyer for our fundraiser and then Blaze will send a check back to us to donate to our causes. We will receive 20% of the sales profit. Then half of the money can be donated to Love and Hope Children's Home in El Salvador via their website to help buy medication for the children there. The other half will go to Dr. Mendez, an infectious disease physician, at the San Rafael Hospital in San Salvador. She will use the money to buy baby formula for HIV positive mothers and toward installing indoor plumbing for them.

	February 27, 2019 at 4:39 PM	Cancelled	Jaci Summers	SOMA	02/27/2019	03/07/2019	This is a follow up proposal for my International Health Disparities project which I've been elected to complete for SOMA class of 2021. I'd like to nominate our support for International Rescue Committee. This organization is very well known and has been around for quite some time. They are based out of New York and they have received 4 stars from Charity Navigator. Their primary goal is to respond to humanitarian crises all over the world as well as in the U.S, including bringing primary care to refugees and at risk populations. Here is the website if you would like further information: https://www.rescue.org/what-we-do. This organization spends 89% of its budget on programs, which mean the majority of our funds raised for them will go to helping people in need. I would still like to use the coffee fundraiser as mentioned before from Jo Coffee, since we will be getting 42% of sales toward our fundraiser. Other fundraisers I've looked into do not offer this much turn around on sales. Once the orders are finished being placed, I would submit the order and then the coffee would be delivered to LECOM for me to distribute to students who have purchased. Then once LECOM has recieved the fundraiser check from the coffee company we can easily make the payment to IRC online. Please let me know if there is anything I can clarify and I welcome any feedback on this project. Thank you for considering my request.
