	September 19, 2022 at 6:23 PM	Expired	Mentorship Seminar and Skills Clinic with Dr. Marcin Jankowski	ACOS-MSS	09/19/2022	10/21/2022	Dr. Marcin Jankowski, a Trauma surgeon based in Newark, Delaware would like to offer mentorship advice and skills training to our medical students. The previous board members, Max and Ashton, and I have developed a good relationship with the surgeon and his wife (a urologist; however, she cannot attend due to her schedule) and he would love to visit Erie to teach our aspiring surgeons. Drs. Marcin and Meredith Jankowski visited campus last Spring and the event was a huge success with the student body. The outline is as follows: October 21st from 6pm-7pm: Forum led by Dr. Jankowski discussing seeking mentorship as a medical student with an open Q/A following. This portion would take place in lecture hall D, and we would ideally like to open the event to the student body as this topic would greatly benefit everyone—not just members of surgery club. October 22nd from 10am-1:30pm: Educational discussion regarding OR etiquette for 30 minutes in Lecture Hall D. Following this, we would hold a two-part skills training session; a FAST ultrasound exam (lecture hall D) and suturing clinic (Microbiology lab) that the students will rotate between. This event is nearly identical to the event held in the spring which was approved by the administration, aside from opening the Friday forum up to the general student body and focusing on suturing instead of central line placement. I have attached Dr. Jankowski's CV to this event request. 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 clinic 2.) We will have a check-in for all members and staff who attend the suturing clinic 3.) We will require masks, and uphold social distancing of at least 6 feet 4.) We will sanitize before and after the suturing clinic and mentorship discussion to avoid the potential spread of COVID 5.) 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 The educational purpose of this event is to expose students to the importance of mentorship in medicine and teach critical skills needed for rotations and beyond. Dr. Jankowski is a very well-distinguished Trauma surgeon that can teach many clinical skills—however, he has chosen to focus on the FAST Ultrasound Exam and suturing for this event. He will be bringing an ultrasound device and professional training mannequin to teach us this skill.

	October 25, 2022 at 12:29 PM	Expired	Erie Oncology Wellness Center - Wig & Beauty Salon Item Drive	Oncology Club	10/25/2022	11/07/2022	The Erie Oncology Wellness Center is an independent non-profit devoted to helping patients undergoing radiation and/or chemotherapy. One aspect of their care is a Wig & Beauty Salon. They have plenty of wonderful wigs, but lack in the 'beauty' side of make-up and skin care patients. We are planning on gathering supplies to help these oncology patients dealing with hair and skin problems. As for the products gathered, I have this baseline from the clinic: "It seems that the makeup line that would be best is NYX. They are vegan-free and priced fair compared to some of the other brands. For lotions and such, Neutrogena is recommended. Both brands are sold at Ulta. The products we would like to have on hand are face soap/cleaners, face lotion, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadows, eye liners, brow pencils or temp tattoos, lip balms/sticks. Because we have women of all colors, a variety would be great. We don’t expect you to get everything, but any donation of these products would be most helpful as we stock the ‘beauty’ portion of our Wig & Beauty Salon. We are most appreciative of your willingness to help. We would be happy to provide a tax receipt to you if you give us a value on what you’ve donated since we are a non-profit." The drive would run from November 7th to November 14th. Every item donated will count as 0.5 hours for a maximum of 3 hours (as per previous events).
	November 4, 2022 at 12:47 PM	Expired	YogaErie Classes to Raise Money For Lydia's Love Moments	Womens Health Club	11/04/2022	12/03/2022	In conjunction with our previous event request, YogaErie has kindly agreed to donate 2 classes towards raising money for our Lydia's Love Moments fundraiser! WHO: YogaErie Instructors and LECOM students WHAT: A 60 minute yoga class; $10/ student. All funds will go to Lydia's Love Moments to raise money for children at Ronald McDonald's House. WHERE: LECOM Wellness Center Gymnasium. All yogies will be positioned 6 feet apart and be instructed to bring their own mat or towel. All students will check in and sign a liability waiver if not a member already prior to class beginning, wearing a mask. Once on the mat and ready to start class 6 feet apart, they will be allowed to remove their mask for the duration of the workout. Once class is over, masks will be put back on promptly. WHEN: Saturday, December 3 at 9:30-10:30am WHY: As DO medical students, we know how important it is to exercise and keep our hearts healthy. While raising money for children in need of healthcare, we thought this would be a great way to get actively involved in our fundraiser while also benefitting our student body. Yoga Erie has graciously offered us a class and we feel it would form a great relationship between YogaErie and LECOM while helping support a beautiful cause. We feel that hosting an event at our own location would be easy and convenient for LECOM students, and a great way to utilize our facilities. If there is an issue with hosting at lecom wellness center, we will look into having the event at YogaErie's studio. Thank you!

	December 20, 2022 at 12:48 PM	Expired	UWorld Class Discount	Class of 2025	12/20/2022	01/01/2022	The Class of 2025 and SGA are hoping to offer our students the 180-Day Full USMLE Step 1 Qback Access + COMLEX OMT 1 Supplement at a discounted institutional rate. In addition, we hope to apply the Class of 2025's available budget of $5,000 alongside a supplemental $2,000 from SGA for a total of $7,000 towards the group discount purchase. To receive the institutional discount, SGA will gather funds from the students directly and complete a purchase order. This will be done via PNC's Zelle deposits directly to the SGA account or check. Details of UWorld's PO requirements and banking information are attached. UWorld Contact: Megan Chaney mchaney@uworld.com COM1 180-days Retail: $459 Discount: $50 Institutional rate: $409 Current student sign-up list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f0SXTrIyR7QR2rpmaC3D44rp_miSD06wrbu1rfdtFYw/edit?usp=sharing With our current sign-up of 142 people, we will make a maximum of 150 code slots available. Each student will be asked to pay a rate of $362 [(409*150) - 7000) / 150]. Once funds are gathered, SGA will purchase the exact number of codes that have been paid for. If all the slots are not taken, some of the SGA funds will be unused since students are already paying a higher rate. This process will avoid overdrafting our funds. I thank the administration for their generosity in helping our students attain studying resources that are almost essential for board studying.

	April 20, 2023 at 2:33 PM	Expired	AMMSA-LECOM: Eid Celebration	AMMSA	04/20/2023	04/28/2023	This was an already approved event. We decided to go forward with a guest speaker for our event and change the location. The guest speaker is Dr. Salman Muazzam Muddassir, the program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program from Oak Hill Hospital, Brooksville, FL. He will be joining us through Zoom to provide us with some words on Islam in Medicine. His contact information and CV are attached to this request and the new location is updated. During the Islamic month called Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset for 30 days and end with a celebration called Eid ul Fitr. We would like to host this celebration on April 28th at 7:00 PM at the Hammocks at Millcreek (4554 Hammocks Dr, Erie, PA 16506). We will be catering food from an outside vendor for dinner and are planning on charging $10 per person to help cover some of the expenses, and would like to use our budget to cover the remaining expenses.

	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.
