	July 26, 2023 at 10:33 AM	Rejected	Presque Isle Clean Up Series	ACOS-MSS	07/26/2023	09/30/2023	ACOS, SOMA and Sports Medicine have partnered to put together a Presque Isle clean up volunteering event for all MS1 and MS2 students. This event would be through Adopt A Beach which is an organization through Pennsylvania that does monthly beach clean ups. They have specific days and beaches they clean, but for groups that cannot make those dates, they allow them to pick up supplies and assign them a beach. There will be a sign-up sheet and I will pick up the necessary supplies prior to the event (trash bags, gloves etc.). They will also assign us a specific beach (6, 8, 10 or 11) based on their needs at that time. We would like to do two clean up days this semester - September 30th and October 21st from 9am-11am. This event would provide students with an opportunity to give back to their community and help keep our beaches clean. Our counterparts in Elmira recently had a similar event which was a success, and we are hoping to continue to give back here in Erie. These hours will also count towards touch point hours, LECOM hours and SSP hours. Our hope is that we can establish a relationship with Adopt A Beach and continue these events in the spring as well. The educational purpose of this event is to continue to build connections within the community and to give back to Erie. 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 has signed up for the event 2.) We will have a check-in for all members and staff who attend the event 3.) We will sanitize before and after the suturing clinic and mentorship discussion to avoid the potential spread of COVID 4.) 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. 5.) Masks and social distancing will be implemented in accordance with LECOM protocol

	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.
	May 23, 2023 at 4:57 PM	Approved	General Surgeon Speaker	ACOS-MSS	05/23/2023	09/12/2023	Dr. Abby Bennett is a new LECOM graduate who matched General Surgery at University of Buffalo this year. She will be sharing her journey throughout medical school, including in the classroom, rotations, and the surgery residency process. There will also be a Q&A portion of the event at the end of the talk. Educational purpose: the educational purpose of this event is to provide a first-hand perspective from a recent graduate who is able to closely relate to the ACOS members. This will be a fantastic opportunity to allow students to engage with Dr. Bennett and ask questions about how she approached her medical school career. COVID mitigation protocols: this meeting will be held on zoom.
	May 22, 2023 at 11:02 AM	Approved	Club Fair	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	05/22/2023	08/04/2023	The club fair set up will begin at 6:00pm-8:00pm on 08/04. 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. Funding: SGA will use their own funds. Timeline: The setup will begin at 6:00 pm on August 4th, with tables and chairs being brought into the gym and hallway. Clubs will each set up their own individual tables in a circular formation. The setup will end at 8:00 pm on the same day. On August 5th at 9:00 am, clubs will come in to do one last check-in before students arrive at 9:30 am. During 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, students will filter in to visit the various clubs based on their interests. From 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, clubs will remove their equipment, and SGA will pack up the tables and chairs.
	May 18, 2023 at 2:52 PM	Cancelled	Mentorship Training	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	05/18/2023	07/06/2023	The Mentorship Training will be held over zoom from 2:30-4:30pm on 7/06/2023. Location: Zoom https://us05web.zoom.us/j/5527674620?pwd=TUFqVjlJREFkVkdpQ1IyOGJzYXBkdz09 Purpose: The purpose of implementing a mentorship training program for 2nd year medical students who will mentor 1st year students is to provide a structured platform for guidance, support, and knowledge sharing within the medical school community. The program aims to bridge the gap between experienced 2nd year students and incoming 1st year students, facilitating a smooth transition into the rigorous environment of medical school. Through mentorship, 2nd year students can offer valuable insights, advice, and encouragement to their 1st year mentees, helping them navigate the challenges of the curriculum, develop effective study strategies, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Furthermore, the mentorship training program fosters a sense of camaraderie, creating a supportive network where 1st year students feel comfortable seeking guidance and mentorship from their more experienced peers. Ultimately, the program aims to enhance the overall academic success, personal growth, and professional development of both 1st and 2nd year medical students, while fostering a collaborative and nurturing learning environment within the medical school community. Funding: No funding is needed for this event. Timeline: The mentor applications should be submitted by 5/30/2023. The list of students will be reviewed by Dr. Thielman and Dr. Lee by mid-June. After they approve the list, we would forward the list of students to student affairs so that they too can approve the list. The general breakdown of the event will include me presenting the mentorship training PowerPoint to prospective mentors for 45 minutes. There will also be a separate mental health presentation given. Afterwards, I will address any questions the mentors have.
