Seeing how osteopathic medical students face numerous hurdles to overcome until graduation, it is easy to become lost in the curriculum and forget what the end goal for this journey is. SOMA is proud to present Dr. Nichols, as she helps guide students through what it means to be an osteopathic physician, and how to approach leadership roles as students, helping us better prepare for our future as members of the osteopathic community. We welcome students to please join us and learn, from a true pillar of the community, what it means to be a leader in Osteopathic Medicine.

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
