	January 31, 2023 at 11:23 AM	Approved	Why Anesthesiology? A Speaker Event	Anesthesiology Club	01/31/2023	03/09/2023	This Speaker Event will take place on March 9th, 2023 from 6:30PM to 7:30PM. It will take place over Zoom, and Dr. Brandi Hobbs has generated an hour long zoom link for this. She will also be present during this virtual event. The two guest speakers that will join the panel are Dr. Ibrahim Umer, DO and Dr. Lisa Solomon, DO. Dr. Ibrahim Umer is a former LECOM alumni and current first-year Anesthesiology resident at St. Joseph University Medical Center. Dr. Lisa Solomon is an Assistant Professor at RUSH Medical College who completed a fellowship in Cardiothoracic Anesthesia from Loyola University Medical Center. Dr. Umer’s phone number is (201)-888-0796 and Dr. Solomon’s phone number is (630)-986-7423. The proposed participants will be club members who will sign up through a Google Form and submit any questions/topics they’d like discussed. We will be asking that the below email and flyer be forwarded to the classes of 2025 and 2026 and to the faculty of the College of Medicine. Dr. Umer and Dr. Solomon will be providing their insights into the field of anesthesiology and weigh in on matching, residency, and other topics. We aim to have our two guests provide differing perspectives, as one is a first year resident and the other is an assistant professor who has completed a fellowship. Students will be able to gain valuable exposure to the field of anesthesiology through these two physicians, especially with one being a former LECOM alumni. The event will be held over Zoom to mitigate COVID concerns.
	February 11, 2023 at 9:25 PM	Approved	Tyler Dobratz	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	02/11/2023	04/01/2023	Time & Date: 10:30pm -3:30pm (30 min set up, two 2 hour volunteer shifts, 30 min clean up) – per adjustments with Dr. Shabloski set up and clean up times have been cut in half April 1, 2023 Location: LECOM West Garage/Loading Bay (same as last year) Description: We are excited to organize an event with Food for Kidz who we worked with last year! Food for Kidz is an awesome organization that helps groups of all sizes set up mobile food packing events to help address and fight hunger around the world. On their website, they have a detailed packet of all instructions and recommendations to set up an event and this packet is attached with this description. In summary, Food for Kidz will deliver the dried food in bulk and all of the equipment needed to set up packing stations. SGA members will arrive when the truck arrives to start setting up and the first shift of volunteers will help set up anything else we need help with. Volunteers then work in teams to pack individual, sealed, fortified rice-soy protein meal packages. Each of these packages provides six servings. These packages are then packed into boxes (36 packages per box) which will then be sent to a child in need somewhere in the world (last year we were notified that our food was sent to Ukraine!). One box of food will feed a child for approximately 7 months. At the end of the packing session, volunteers will then help load the boxes of packed food and supplies onto the Food for Kidz truck, and the Food for Kidz organization will handle the rest of the distribution and delivery of the food to its destination. Purpose: To provide an opportunity for LECOM to help fight world hunger and volunteer our time to help those in need in our world, and to foster the caring and giving attitude embedded in LECOM’s mission and the foundations of osteopathic care. We hope to hold this event as a large volunteer opportunity open to all LECOM students, that encourages students from all disciplines, pathways, and clubs to work together and get to know each other outside of the classroom or otherwise defined roles within other groups/clubs. Volunteers: Open to all LECOM students, students will sign up on a google sheet in advance which will be limited to approximately 200 packing shifts total. This year, the sheet will have slots separated by each of the five packing tables to ensure volunteers spread out and fill each table evenly. Similarly, less staging/box assembly/loading shift volunteers will be available as discussed with Dr. Shabloski. Please see google sheet example from last year below for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1smdm2KuW2hFjxWuJLnEqmc31rrsIVpk5v3corD4BUEM/edit#gid=0 In addition, as discussed with Dr. Shabloski, we will make a brief powerpoint for volunteers to review prior to coming to their shift, which will outline the steps and roles at each table. This will ensure volunteers will arrive ready to start packing and will not need too much coaching prior to getting started. Funding: Last year we packed nearly 42,000 meals, at 216 meals per box and 194 boxes, priced at ~$36 per box. This equates to a $7000 donation from SGA funds. We plan to stick with this packing amount as our goal, and the $7000 will again come from SGA funds. Additionally 12 tables and 8 folding chairs will be rented from Crazy Monkey in Erie who will deliver and pick up the tables and chairs. This will allow us to form five tables of two for each packing station (one more than last year), one table for check in, and one table for the loading and box making area, with the chairs for check in and one for each station. This will cost approximately $110.80 per the Crazy Monkey website, which will also come from SGA funds. Covid Protocol: All attendees will be required to follow current LECOM masking protocols for the entirety of their time volunteering. Attendees will follow all guidelines for exposure and symptoms as outlined in the portal screening form. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Students who are actively packing at the stations will be required to wear hair nets as well.

Masks will be worn in order to protect ourselves and others from COVID and other similar illnesses, and our advisor, Dr. Carmine D’Amico, will be present too.
	February 16, 2023 at 10:51 AM	Approved	Casting Clinic	ACOS-MSS	02/16/2023	02/24/2023	LECOM surgery club is excited to put on a casting clinic with Dr. Drew Miller. This event will give members an opportunity to learn from an orthopedic surgeon how to properly cast. The event will also be extended to the orthopedics club as it is an important skill for them to develop. As a resident at Millcreek Hospital, Dr. Miller is well versed in casting and has previous experience working with medical students. Earlier that day he will be giving the LDP pathway a lecture in casting so this event will allow students to learn the material in the classroom and then directly implement that knowledge with a hands on event. The anticipated event will be held on February 24th from 6pm-8pm in the OPP Lab. Our advisor, Dr. Melodie Chludzinski will be present. 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 attends the guest lecturer event 2.) We will require masks, and uphold social distancing of at least 6 feet 3.) 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 a critical skill that requires proficiency in a variety of different specialties. As some students may not have been exposed to this technique yet, this will be a fantastic opportunity to allow students to gain hands on experience and knowledge from a practicing orthopedic surgeon within the LECOM Health system.

	February 17, 2023 at 5:20 PM	Approved	WHMS Easter Baskets for Premie Babies - Grady's Decision Non-Profit	Womens Health Club	02/17/2023	03/20/2023	This will be our first event of the semester. Students will be donating highly needed items for Grady's Decision non- profit organization that helps families who are experiencing financial, spiritual, and emotional hardships as they care for their premature babies.

A spreadsheet will be sent out to the student body to 'sign up' for needed items that together will comprise 20-30 Easter baskets. Ex: 20 spaces for people to sign up for pacifiers/Wubbanub, 20 spaces for people to sign up for rattles, etc. This will ensure we have equal materials for each basket being donated. We will set up a collection box in LECOM's front office during the week so students can drop off their donated items. We wanted to hold a box by security in the front lobby for the week of March 20 - March 24th. Then the following week on March 27th we would like to hold an event at LECOM, where members would put the baskets together for the NICU and deliver them to Grady's Decision non-profit for distribution. In addition we where hoping to have an in-person (or zoom) event with Ryan Smith to come and talk about his experience of giving these gifts and what it means to the patients family. I think this would be amazing for the students to see their impact on the patients and where their donations are actually going. This event would take place in the Vora lounge on March 20th, the first day of our collection.

	February 21, 2023 at 10:43 AM	Approved	Basic/Clinical Neuroscience Review Nights	SOMA	02/21/2023	03/20/2023	SOMA students (primarily second-years) will lead review sessions to help guide first-year students on study strategies of high-yield topics for Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, especially neuroanatomy. These sessions have been requested by first-year students. As first-years work their way through the systems curriculum of Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, OMS2s will host short, virtual review nights of the material and high yield topics. SOMA students will coordinate review content with Dr. Kulesza for the specific aspects of neuroanatomy as well as other faculty members for other content areas that are covered. These reviews will be held over Zoom, which will allow for social distancing because of the virtual nature of the event and no in-person assembly is required. SOMA members will be notified of review nights and it's corresponding review material via email. Our goal in doing so is to help bridge the gap that OMS1's have had with transitioning into more difficult content and systems.

One thing they expressed that they are in need of are new backpacks. We plan to hold a fundraiser to collect new backpacks to donate to the USCRI. We will be asking for adult-size backpacks so even as the children grow they will still be able to use them. The goal of this is to provide a thoughtful donation to better the lives of our new community members by enabling them to get an education or travel with ease as they adjust to their new life here in Erie. There will be donation boxes set up in the main entrance lobby of LECOM Main. SOMA members will check the boxes once a day to ensure donation collection and neatness of the area and at the end of the drive deliver donated backpacks to USCRI.

	March 6, 2023 at 3:51 PM	Approved	"What I wish I knew going into MS2" with Jake Kesiel	Neuropsych Club	03/06/2023	03/20/2023	The NeuroPsych Club would like to host Jake Kisiel, D.O. for an hour of answering questions and sharing his perspective on what he "wishes he knew going into M2" over Zoom. Jake is a LECOM grad class of 2022 and is currently a PGY-1 at Millcreek's Psychiatry residency program. At such a critical time point on our road to be osteopathic physicians, we believe Jake would be an invaluable resource for students deciding what to do over the Summer (as it fast approaches) and how to strategize to make M2 as successful as possible. Plus, being a fresh LECOM grad, Jake will have a better idea of what sort of opportunities exist at LECOM and Erie at large that can help maximize our next steps as M2s towards our future careers. Prior to the event we will open up a google document so students can pose questions for Jake to answer. Also, as part of our COVID mitigation strategy we will be hosting the event over Zoom.
