The club fair event will begin at 9:30am-1:30pm on August 5th. Location: LECOM Medical Fitness & Wellness Center Purpose: The club fair at a medical school serves as a dynamic platform for students to explore a wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities that complement their medical education. It aims to foster a vibrant and engaged community by bringing together various student-run clubs and organizations dedicated to different medical specialties, research areas, volunteer initiatives, and professional development. The purpose of the club fair is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the diverse avenues available to them beyond the classroom, allowing them to connect with like-minded peers, gain valuable hands-on experience, and further their personal and professional growth. This event facilitates networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas, enabling students to discover new interests, strengthen their skills, and contribute meaningfully to the medical community. By attending the club fair, students can make informed choices about their extracurricular involvement, fostering a well-rounded education that complements their medical studies and nurtures their individual interests and aspirations.

Dr. Risavi will be leading the event which will consist of several lectures as well as hands-on skills stations with a practical at the end. This is an opportunity for members to obtain hands-on experience and to learn new skills that are essential for any specialty. Additionally, this certification is similar to a certification that is required during residency (advanced trauma life support), allowing members to gain valuable knowledge on information for the future. The ITLS certification will last all members 3 years. Members who decide to participate will need to purchase and read ITLS for Emergency Care Providers – 9th edition from VitalSource. Additionally, the certification itself will cost approximately $30. The anticipated event will be held on the following dates and times: July 28: 530pm - 10pm July 29: 7:30am - 5pm July 30: 7:30am - 4pm As there are multiple skills stations, we are requesting lecture hall C and D as well as study rooms 1-3 to be reserved on the second floor. Our advisor, Dr. Dr. Risavi will be present. There will also be several other clinicians to assist Dr. Risavi with the event and help administer the practicals. We are anticipating around 20 participants. The educational purpose of this event is to expose students to critical, life saving skills that can be applied to a variety of specialties. This will be a fantastic opportunity to allow students to gain hands-on experience and knowledge, while also being able to obtain a certification. Furthermore, here are the COVID protocols that I ensure are upheld at all ACOS events: 1.) We will have a full roster of every individual who attends the event. 2.) We will create a screening form for all members that sign up and require that they disclose any signs and symptoms, travel history, and close contact history prior to attending. 3.) We will abide by LECOMs current mask policy at the time of the event.
	April 26, 2023 at 9:51 PM	Approved	Stop The Bleed	Emergency Medicine	04/26/2023	07/25/2023	The purpose of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign is to make our nation more resilient by better preparing the public to save lives if people nearby are severely bleeding.

	June 12, 2023 at 2:00 PM	Expired	Anki Clinic	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	06/12/2023	07/20/2023	Purpose: Anki is flashcard service that many utilize during medical school. The flashcard service is free to use and utilizes a technique called spaced repetition to help students learn and reinforce material. Despite flashcards being common in undergraduate, Anki is not heavily utilized until medical school. The purpose of this clinic is to teach any student the basic ins and outs of the flashcard service. I believe this will be an invaluable resource because many students may try using Anki when medical school starts; however, it takes time to actually learn how the system works. By giving them a preface on how to use the system, it means less of their time will be used on learning the system when the semester started. To lead this clinic, I have contacted Sam Wlasowicz a current OMS-IV. He won the Mr. Anki award 3 years ago, and has already led an Anki Clinic before with some success. I have already talked with him about what I would like him to focus on: basic use of Anki, different styles of Anki (cloze function vs. image occlusion vs. simple flashcards), etc. Funding: None Needed Timeline: I have already contacted Sam several times to ensure he has everything he needs, but I will contact him a week before the event to sure everything is okay. On the day of the event, I will start the Zoom meeting at 6:45 PM and the event will start promptly at 7:00. The clinic should take no longer than an hour to an hour and a half. No clean-up time is needed as the event is over Zoom.

Educational purpose: We hope to use these funds to host more events for the upcoming school year and educate the campus on our traditions 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.
