July 31, 2022 at 9:08 AMApprovedSAAO OPP review sessionsSAAO07/31/202208/09/2022I would like to request SAAO forum reviews for every Tuesday night this Fall semester. This will allow us to have approval in time to have a forum before the first practical on August 10th. We will meet every other Tuesday, but having all Tuesdays reserved will let us make changes in the our schedule depending on the practical schedule. Students will have the opportunity to practice and ask any questions they may have before the practicals that will be occurring the following day, Wednesdays, in class lab. Both will take place in the OPP lab at the LECOM-ERIE main building. The MS1 forum will take place from 5:30-6:30pm. Break will be from 6:30-7:00pm. The MS2 forum will follow from 7:00-8:00 pm.

January 12, 2024 at 10:05 AMApprovedDonation Drive for Mental Health Association of NW PennsylvaniaNeuropsych Club01/12/202402/12/2024I would like to organize a donation drive for the Mental Health Association (MHA) of NW Pennsylvania with collections lasting for two weeks: Monday 2-12-24 to Friday 2-23-24. Many of the clients at MHA are unhoused individuals and with the coming winter months it is more important than ever to get these folks what they need to endure. Approximately 25-30% of unhoused people face serious mental health or substance use disorders (1). I believe this to be a good opportunity to help out a population of people that we as future practitioners will invariably treat; from the Psychiatrist's office to the ER. MHA has a premade flier asking for socks, underwear, and T-shirts which you will find attached. I would like to expand the scope of the drive to any usable winter gear that people may be willing to donate. Our point of contact at MHA is Mary Sackett (814-452-4462 ext. 132, MSACKETT@mhanp.org) and she has expressed that any little bit will help. For students that donate I would like to provide them with the maximum number of volunteer hours that is appropriate for such an event: 0.5 hrs per item, with a max of 2 hours. Contactless drop-off, while collecting items and while dropping them off will be our COVID mitigation strategy. 1: Padgett DK.

January 16, 2024 at 9:14 AMApprovedTrivia NightLECOM Med Erie - SGA01/16/202402/05/2024I would like to hold a Trivia Night for the students at 6:00 on Monday, February 5th. The event will for students will start at 6:00 for students, but I will be there at 5:30 to ensure set-up. Set-up will consist of logging into Kahoot (an online app that allowed me to set-up the trivia questions). Students will participate in teams 1-5. Prizes will be given out at the end of Rounds 1, 2, and 3. The winners of those prizes will be determined by whichever team accumulated the most amount of points for that round (the team who scores the most at the end of round 1 will get a prize, the team who scores the most during round 2 will win a prize, etc.). A grand prize will be given out to the team who accumulated the most amount of points throughout all three rounds. The prizes are listed in the document below, and have been approved by the LECOM SGA Board. Trivia Questions are also in the attached document. Each round should take 15-30 minutes, and the whole event should take 60-90 minutes. After the event has been concluded, participants will be expected to promptly leave the lecture hall and SGA will ensure that no mess has been made.
April 9, 2019 at 12:33 PMApprovedAndrew GaddiClass of 202204/09/201904/22/2019I want to hold another bone marrow drive to add people to the national bone marrow registry.

April 9, 2019 at 8:04 AMApprovedChipotle / Menchies FundraiserMentoring04/09/201905/08/2019I have applied for fundraisers at Chipotle and Menchies (both located on Peach street). If accepted, Chipotle will donate 33% of proceeds made by individuals who show them our flier. Menchies has not specified the exact amount they would donate. Mentoring club would promote going to one of both of these places through social media and word of mouth. The money would go towards Mentoring club, likely allowing us to replace some of the worn out sport equipment that the children are currently using.
October 11, 2024 at 12:16 PMApprovedROTC standbyEmergency Medicine10/11/202411/09/2024I am writing to formally request approval for the participation of our student organization in providing first aid support at the AFJ-ROTC Commandos Competition, which will take place on November 9, 2024, at McDowell Intermediate High School. The AFJ-ROTC Commandos Competition is a physically demanding military-style athletic event featuring activities such as ropes courses, tire flipping, people carrying, and running. Last year, the responsibility for both first aid and scoring were handled by a single individual (Dr. Chludzinski), which caused delays in event results. This year, she has requested additional assistance specifically for first aid coverage. Our role will be to provide basic first aid services for event participants, such as bandaging, applying ice, and addressing minor injuries. A first aid kit, stocked with essential supplies, has already been donated for use by the club. Additionally, the AFJ-ROTC has requested support in the form of a donation of basic first aid supplies, including bandages, splints, ace wraps, and other items for use during their practices and future competitions. If club funds are available, we would like to explore the possibility of contributing to this request. Dr. Chludzinski will be present to supervise all first aid efforts, ensuring appropriate oversight throughout the event. We believe this is an excellent opportunity for students to engage with the community while gaining practical experience in providing medical support in a real-world setting.

Additionally, students will have the option to bring their significant other as well but will be required to give the name and phone number of the additional person at the time of purchase in order to maintain contact tracing.

We would provide supplies that are needed for those at this organization. I would like everyone that wants to participate to get an hour of service for each item that they donate (a max of 3 hours total).

March 1, 2022 at 12:50 PMApprovedOlivia PupiecSpanish Medical Club03/01/202203/30/2022I am requesting for Dr. Jung to run a forum/be a guest speaker on the topic of cultural awareness. This is part of our clubs mission, to provide cultural awareness and enlighten students on topics and scenarios that could occur in the medical field. I feel this would be beneficial for all students, even those who are not even in the club as we will come into contact with patients from all different backgrounds.

August 22, 2021 at 1:14 PMApprovedLapel Pin SalePM&R Club08/22/202108/25/2021Hi, We are planning to hold a fundraiser and sell custom lapel pins for the student's white coats. I have attached images of the custom designs for approval. We do not intend to use the official logo, just the LECOM name will be included in the design. The sale will occur online, and we will post a Google Form for students to fill out their orders. The pins will be custom made by an online company, and they will hopefully be shipped within a week of the end date of the fundraiser. It is too late to have them in by the white coat ceremony for the Class of 2024, so I will just have to distribute it to our class at a specific date and time in the future. However, for the first year's class I was wondering if it would be possible to distribute their pins along with their white coats on the date of their actual ceremony. I will come in early and put a pin on each student's chair who orders one. Thank you! Best, Carlo

We have a goal of fundraising $950 to put together 24 bags including backpacks, clothes, toiletries, bath supplies, books and toys for children in the foster care system. Since most kids have to leave their homes quickly, most have very few belongings; this gives them a chance to start new with some personal belongings at their new home. We are asking you to share the GoFundMe link on any and all social media platforms you have -- if you share the link, we will give you 1 service hour for every social media platform you post on (max of 3). We will be using the money to order everything off Amazon and Walmart to put together the bags. https://www.gofundme.com/f/erie-foster-bag-drive?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
