One thing they expressed that they are in need of are new backpacks. We plan to hold a fundraiser to collect new backpacks to donate to the USCRI. We will be asking for adult-size backpacks so even as the children grow they will still be able to use them. The goal of this is to provide a thoughtful donation to better the lives of our new community members by enabling them to get an education or travel with ease as they adjust to their new life here in Erie. There will be donation boxes set up in the main entrance lobby of LECOM Main. SOMA members will check the boxes once a day to ensure donation collection and neatness of the area and at the end of the drive deliver donated backpacks to USCRI. Since donations will be able to be made individually, students will be able to social distance and will be required to follow LECOM recommendations on masking during the duration of the drive.

The book is titled "A Black Man in a White Coat" written by Dr. Damon Tweedy. Dr. Tweedy is a psychiatrist and associate professor of psychiatry at Duke. In his memoir, he highlights the effects of health disparities in medicine from a student, physician, and patient perspective. The purpose of these sessions is to gain a better grasp on equality in medicine and the importance of reforms in public health. It is intended to be a session where members can learn from others' experiences and get a taste of other aspects of medicine that are not as well represented in textbooks.

September 7, 2023 at 1:25 PMExpiredVolunteer with Walk to End Alzheimer'sNeuropsych Club09/07/202309/23/2023On Saturday September 23, 2023 Walk to End Alzheimers is hosting an event here in Erie, PA. The organizers of the event are calling for as many volunteers as possible to help with "set-up, clean-up, registration, water stops, Promise Garden and so much more" for their upcoming event (Walk to End Alz website). I think this would be a great opportunity for the members of the NeuroPsych club to give back to the community and engage in a population of folks we are sure to encounter as future Neurologists/Psychiatrists. Also, as a LECOM health sponsored event it would be a pleasure to show our bright smiling faces to the people of Erie. The site coordinator and contact for the Walk to End Alz is as follows: Sr. Director of Development, Sara Giammarise | 814-636-6390 | sgiammarise@alz.org As far as COVID mitigation is concerned, this is an outdoor event and we will practice social distancing as much as possible. I will make sure the club provides hand sanitizer for at least our members if none is already available on-site.
