September 26, 2022 at 1:52 PMApprovedDecompression Session: Painting and a Discussion on Barriers to Mental Health CareMental Health Task Force09/26/202210/27/2022This will be a painting session with a discussion on barriers to mental health care hosted by the SGA Mental Health Task Force that seeks to act as a place to decompress and engage in a hobby as stress relief practice, as well as a space to discuss mental health in medical students. Dr. Melanie Dunbar will be present for the duration of the meeting as a facilitator along with the members of the mental health task force. We know that medical students are more likely to live with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders (Maser et al., 2019), and that having discussions about our experiences works to destigmatize and reduce stress around seeking treatment (Hankier et al., 2014). An additional reason to have the coinciding painting session will give students a physical activity to focus on to make students feel more comfortable contributing to the discussion and sitting through silent periods. We will discuss different barriers that one might encounter to seeking mental health care, including cultural, geographical, financial, and other societal barriers. We will discuss stigma around mental health illness and treatments, including medications, and ways we can work to break down those stigmas. This will not be a therapy session, it will be a discussion on the difficulties medical students face and the associated stigma and barriers to mental health care. It will also be a place to remind students of the resources and support that they have available to them. This session will be held October 27th at 6pm in the Vora lounge. An RSVP form will be created to determine how many materials to purchase for the event. Materials will be purchased in bulk off Amazon, and unused materials will be saved for a future Goody bag event. Plastic tablecloths will be purchased to protect the tables, the paint will be washable for easy removal, and cleaning materials will be purchased to ensure that the lounge is left spotless after our session. Cleaning up will be done by the members of the Mental Health Task Force, and leftover materials will be added to SGA storage for continued use. “Relative to the general population of postsecondary graduates aged 20–34, medical students aged 20–34 had significantly higher rates of diagnosed mood disorders, diagnosed anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation, and psychological distress.” Maser, Brandon MD; Danilewitz, Marlon MD; Guérin, Eva PhD; Findlay, Leanne PhD; Frank, Erica MD, MPH.

September 21, 2022 at 2:05 PMApprovedCancer Research SymposiumOncology Club09/21/202210/27/2022Oncology Club will be hosting our first Cancer Research Symposium in collaboration with the Student Research Association. We will be joined by our speaker Kyabeth Torres-Rodriguez, a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, who will present her research on “The role of the MYCN oncogene in inducing immune evasion in neuroblastoma.” Academic Purpose: With the ever-changing advancements in scientific research, it's important as medical students to stay engaged in developing research topics; however, many may feel overwhelmed by the complexity of cancer research.

September 20, 2022 at 10:39 AMApprovedDiwaliAPAMSA09/20/202210/20/2022Diwali, or Dipawali, is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness.

All participants will be required to wear masks 2. When eating people will be required to remain 6 feet away when taking off their masks 3. If people do not feel well or feel like they have a fever they will be requested not to come. 4. There will be an attendance sheet in place for people to sign in, in a case that contact tracing would be required. Veronica Li will be the contact person for the set up and tear down the the event. Dr. Razzaque has been contacted to attend the event. Since this is a public clubhouse for Hammocks residents, no confirmation is needed to book the area since it's a public space that rarely ever occupied. There will be light refreshments and snacks so nothing significant is happening to require any proper reservation of the area.
