Medical school can often be a high-stress environment, and this event is designed to provide an opportunity for students and faculty to step away from the classroom and clinical responsibilities, connect with one another, and enjoy lighthearted activities together. First years can celebrate the end of Anatomy, and second year LDP and DSP students can celebrate the end of their Cardiovascular unit through a variety of fun, team-based games such as tug of war, relay races, and even pumpkin painting and “pie the professor.” Each participating LECOM club will host an activity, allowing for broad student engagement and meaningful faculty participation. By encouraging collaboration, laughter, and friendly competition, this Field Day will strengthen bonds across our campus community, promote student wellness, and create lasting positive memories that enrich the medical school experience. Will be using a grill to grill food.

Students will learn how to 1) identify a key lesion, 2) remove a trauma vector, and 3) treat a dynamic strain dysfunction utilizing the vector release technique. This is a great opportunity for students to experience an up and coming, integrative technique while extending their toolbox to help future patients.

The book is titled "A Black Man in a White Coat" written by Dr. Damon Tweedy. Dr. Tweedy is a psychiatrist and associate professor of psychiatry at Duke. In his memoir, he highlights the effects of health disparities in medicine from a student, physician, and patient perspective. The purpose of these sessions is to gain a better grasp on equality in medicine and the importance of reforms in public health. It is intended to be a session where members can learn from others' experiences and get a taste of other aspects of medicine that are not as well represented in textbooks.

The care package will include items such as a pair of blue light glasses, Emergen-C packets, tea bags, chapstick, travel hand sanitizer, small tissue packs, gum, honey sticks, etc. We will plan to sell these mugs/care package for $20 each from October 13th through October 24th. People can place their order with us and submit payment through either venmo or with cash. After the sale has ended, we will place the orders for the mugs and care package contents.

August 19, 2025 at 4:46 PMRejectedHuntington's Disease Society of America TeamHope Walk/5K RunNeuropsych Club08/19/202509/27/2025Beth Gustafson, Assistant Professor of the Physical Therapy Program at Gannon University and Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) TeamHope walk co-coordinator, recently inquired if LECOM’s NeuroPsych Club could provide volunteer support for the yearly HDSA Team Hope Walk & 5K Run fundraiser event. I believe this event offers a valuable opportunity for our club members to come together in support of the greater Erie community. It also serves to raise awareness and educate the public about Huntington’s disease, a complex neurodegenerative condition that we’ve heavily focused upon in our neuroanatomy courses. Through what we’ve learned, we’ve deepened our understanding of the challenges faced not only by patients, but by their families as well. Through this event, we hope to extend our support to those in the Erie community and show that they’re not alone in their efforts. The fundraiser walk will take place on Saturday September 27, 2025 and will be located at Presque Isle State Park, Beach 1. Volunteers will help with set-up, basket raffles, registration, advocacy efforts, cheering on walk/run participants, and clean up. The volunteering period will span from 6:30AM to 12PM, with each volunteer working a minimum of 2 hour shifts.

I believe NAMIWalks carries a powerful message, inspiring and advocating "Mental Health for All,” and our club at LECOM envisions a future where all physicians stand together to promote and prioritize mental health as an essential part of every patient's healthcare journey. The fundraiser walk will take place on Sunday, September 14th, 2025, and will be located at Penn State Behrend - Junker Center Parking Lot 5285 Station Rd, Erie, PA 16510. Volunteers will help with passing out refreshments and by being walk guides for the participants. The volunteering period will span from 7:00am - 11am.

This resource will request MS2 students to share/feature simple, affordable, and nutritious meal ideas, with recipes and tips contributed by current students for 30 minutes of volunteer time. Since nutrition is a key component of overall health and academic success, we hope to encourage healthy habits from the start of their journey. In addition to the cookbook, we plan to include a “Things to Do in Erie, PA” section to introduce students to the area and highlight local attractions, restaurants, outdoor activities, and hidden gems. Our goal is to help new students feel both supported and excited about their new home in Erie.
