The Sight Center of Northwest PA sorts through the glasses and will decide which ones to keep for people in the community, then they also outsource the rest of the glasses to other organizations such as Lions Club international and others. I am in contact with Pam Masi from the Sight Center. Her email is pamm@sightcenternwpa.org. We will empty the bin at the end of each day to ensure that it does not get full. The intention is also to have students earn service hours for donating (the usual 1 hour for 2 items, maximum of 2 hours able to be earned). After the week of collection, we would deliver all the donated glasses to the Sight Center. Dr. Chris Buzas is the advisor for the club, however, he is not an option under the "advisor information" drop down menu. I have submitted a support request for this.

Dr. Risavi will be leading the event which will consist of several lectures as well as hands-on skills stations with a practical assessment at the end. This is an opportunity for members to obtain hands-on experience and to learn new skills that are essential for any specialty. The training covers vitals trauma skills such as trauma assessment, neck and spine stabilization, and airway stabilization. Additionally, this certification is similar to a certification that is required during Emergency Medicine and General Surgery residency (advanced trauma life support), allowing members to gain valuable knowledge on information for the future. This certification and skillset will contribute to developing students into well-rounded physicians and add to their unique resume during residency interviews. This will be an amazing opportunity to allow students to gain hands-on experience and knowledge, while also being able to obtain a certification. The ITLS certification will last all members 3 years. Members who decide to participate will need to purchase and read ITLS for Emergency Care Providers – 9th edition from VitalSource or Amazon. Additionally, the certification itself will cost approximately $30. The anticipated event will be held on the following dates and times: July 31st: 530pm - 10pm August 1st: 7:30am - 5pm August 2nd: 7:30am - 3pm As there are multiple skills stations and lectures, we are requesting lecture hall A in addition to the OPP lab to be reserved on the second floor. We will work with Dr. Kalmey’s office to ensure that the training does not overlap with the MS1 orientation. Our advisor, Dr. Risavi will be present. There will also be several other clinicians to assist Dr. Risavi with the event and help administer the practicals. We are capping the participation at 25 students to allow for a meaningful experience for all. 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 event. 2.) 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. 3.)

We wanted to hold a box by security in the front lobby for the week of April 7th - April 16th Then on April 16th, we would like to hold an event at LECOM, where members would put the baskets together for the NICU and for the e-board members of the WHMS and Pediatrics club to deliver them to Grady's Decision non-profit for distribution on April 18th In addition, we were hoping to have a Zoom event with one of Grady's Decision organization board members to come and talk about their experience of giving these gifts and what it means to the patient's family. I think this would be amazing for the students to see their impact on the patients and where their donations are going. This event will take place in Case Room 117 or Overflow room (or any room with Zoom/screen access) on April 16th, the day and time we are putting together the Easter Baskets Zoom Event with a Grady's Decision board member while we are packing the baskets on April 16th in Case Room 117 or Overflow room (or any room with Zoom/screen access) Donations collected the week of April 7th - April 16th by security in the front lobby Event to build and put together the Easter baskets on April 16th - Case Room 117 or Overflow room (or any space with zoom/screen access)
