	August 24, 2022 at 1:11 PM	Approved	Military Medicine Club Guest Speakers: Bryan G. Anderson, DO, MHSA; Eric Goodrich D.O., MSMEd	LECOM Military Medicine Club	08/24/2022	10/20/2022	Two HPSP/LECOM alumni have agreed to give a presentation and conduct a Q/A session to help current and prospective military members understand how their future is different from their peers. Some of the topics we plan to cover are: -Pay difference with military vs civilian, in residency and later. -Military match vs civilian match, in terms of how competitive they each are for different specialties. -Military residency vs civilian residency, regarding degree of training, is one better than the other? -Overview of what a GMO is, pros and cons to that path, and differences in their usage in each branch. -Q/A time, eBoard to come with prepared questions to supplement. -Clinical cases as time allows. Guest Speakers: Bryan G. Anderson, DO, MHSA; Eric Goodrich D.O., MSMEd COVID Protocols: All attendees will wear masks (3-ply or greater) unless presenting while remaining greater than 6 feet away from others. All attendees will have their temperature checked at the entrance to the Main Campus. Per LECOM guidance all students will continue to complete daily symptom checklist found on the portal. Presenters will be contacted and given the portal symptom checklist the day prior to the event. If any answers are positive, Dr. Shabloski will be notified. Attendees will sit in every other seat in the lecture hall to ensure social distancing. Attendance will be taken for possible contact tracing purposes.
	August 22, 2022 at 1:07 PM	Approved	Volunteering at the Community Blood Bank	Class of 2025	08/22/2022	09/13/2022	The Community Blood Bank in Erie is starting a new volunteer program in hopes of generating more follow up donations with the help their volunteers. After donating blood, the donors are sent to the refreshment area of the center or drive so that they can relax for 10 minutes and have a snack. Once the donor is done with their snacks, there are no other interactions with staff, and they leave. There is a very small chance they come back and donate again in 56 days which is the reason why the volunteer program was started. The community blood bank felt that the final step of the donation process was lacking and thought having volunteers greet donors in the refreshment area could greatly impact the donation process. The role of the volunteer will be to thank the donor for their donation, get feedback from the donor, and most important, ask the donor to schedule a follow up donation. A volunteer at the last part of the donation could make a huge difference in getting donors to return for another donation. Asking for a follow-up donation is the most crucial item, because more consistent donors mean a better blood supply. Students will be able to sign up for shifts well in advance and will receive volunteer hours for their participation. Every hour spent volunteering will count towards one volunteer hour. Students will be required to wear masks while volunteering.
	August 18, 2022 at 5:52 PM	Rejected	SOMA's Big Training	SOMA	08/18/2022	09/09/2022	This event has already been discussed with Dr. Lee and Dr. Thielman! As requested by Dr. Ferretti, we will be having a mandatory training for anyone who was selected as a Big for SOMA's Big/Little program. We will have Dr. Kevin Klauer give a talk for the first hour (a separate event request has been submitted for this!), and then we will take the second hour (this event request) to cover the overview of the Big program. We will be instructing Bigs on what to do and what not to do, what advice to share with their littles, and what topics to avoid as they are out of our scope as Bigs. The agenda for the meeting will be developed with Dr. Lee, who will be in attendance for the training to ensure we have appropriate faculty oversight. We feel this is an important event to have in person, which is why we have requested reserving Lecture Hall D. We will require all attendees to wear masks, and will practice appropriate social distancing, and follow all other COVID protocols. Attendance will be taken, and a post-event recap will be sent to Dr. Shabloski when the event is complete.

	August 12, 2022 at 2:58 PM	Approved	Addiction in Medicine Discussion	SOMA	08/12/2022	10/18/2022	On October 18th, SOMA would like to host an informational session about Addiction Medicine.

Some example topics that will be covered are: -her background and why she chose to pursue Addiction Med -current fellowship programs available and their general curriculum -the Neurobiology of Addiction -her average work day -potential practice options (inpatient vs outpatient models). Given that one of SOMA's pillars is to educate on opioid use and addiction in general, we thought this would be a good topic to have a presentation on! We will send out a sign up sheet, Zoom link, and form to submit questions for Dr. Zona as soon as this event is approved. The event will be via Zoom on 10/18 (already checked and coordinated with MMS, MS1, and MS2 exam schedules) from 6-7:30PM. Dr. Thielman and Dr. Lee have already consulted and agreed to this event.

	August 9, 2022 at 6:22 PM	Approved	Essential Items Drive for USCRI Erie	Class of 2025	08/09/2022	09/19/2022	International Institute of Erie/ USCRI (517 E 26th St, Erie, PA 16504. Phone number 814-452-3935) Since 1980, 8,839 newcomers have been resettled in the Erie area with assistance from USCRI. Refugees resettled in Erie come primarily from Bhutan, Eritrea, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Iraq, Ukraine and Russia. Newly arrived refugees receive a comprehensive set of services including housing placement, cultural orientation, school enrollment, coordination of initial health appointments, and employment preparation and placement. I have reached out to Gretchen Fairly, Development Associate at USCRI and she said she would love to receive new or gently used donations to ensure that each refugee is provided with basic items that are essential to daily life. Some essential items she listed were first aid kits, thermometers, masks, diapers, and baby products. I have attached a full list of needed items to this form. I would love to have a donation box outside the security office where students could drop off essential items! Every item donated will count for 0.5 volunteer hours and students can receive up to a maximum of 3 volunteer hours. I would like to have the drive from September 19th - 28th to ensure enough time for students to get the essential items. The Class of 2025 student council board will collect all donated items and deliver them to the USCRI at a later date.

We will require masks and practice appropriate social distancing. If the COVID climate changes and we need to switch our event to Zoom, we are willing to do so to accommodate the safety of all attendees.
