Students will donate highly needed items to Grady's Decision, a non-profit organization that helps families who are experiencing financial, spiritual, and emotional hardships as they care for their premature babies.

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 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)

The Pre-SOMA directors (and potentially other SOMA volunteers) at LECOM would like to host review night Q & A sessions/and or review presentations for the MMS students here at our LECOM campus.

	January 30, 2025 at 10:22 PM	Approved	Casting & Splinting Clinic	ACOS-MSS	01/30/2025	02/28/2025	LECOM surgery club is excited to put on a casting clinic and splinting with Dr. Anthony Ferretti and assistants. This event will give members an opportunity to learn from an orthopedic surgeon how to properly cast. It will additionally provide the unique opportunity for students to interact with and learn from residents. The event will also be extended to the orthopedics club as it is an important skill for them to develop. Earlier that day, Dr Alec Grossman, a resident at Millcreek Community Hospital, will be giving the LDP pathway a lecture in casting. This event will allow students to learn the material in the classroom and then directly apply that knowledge with a hands on event. The anticipated event will be held on February 28th from 5pm-7pm in the OPP Lab. Our advisor, Dr. Brian Risavi will be present to supervise and assist. 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 The educational purpose of this event is to expose students to a critical skill that requires proficiency in a variety of different specialties. This will additionally help students to prepare for clinical rotation. 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.
