	January 11, 2019 at 12:29 PM	Rejected	Rochester SNMA 10th Annual Pre-Medicine Conference	Allies	02/02/2019	02/02/2019	This conference is designed to provide high school students and undergraduate students, many of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about a medical career, exposure to medicine and an opportunity to talk with medical students and doctors directly about their interests. The conference is organized and run by medical students from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry Student National Medical Association (SNMA) and has been a huge success over the past years. This year is no exception and we are expecting another 300 students to visit our school for the day. The conference will be Saturday February 2nd, 2019 from 8 AM until 3:00PM PM. The event will include interactive learning modules, meet-and-greet with physicians and medical students, as well as a keynote address by Dr. Ian Wilson, a diagnostic radiologist and alumnus of the Univ. of Rochester. http://www.ursnma.org/
	January 10, 2019 at 3:01 PM	Approved	Patagonia Sale	ACOS-MSS	01/10/2019	01/15/2019	We're selling the Patagonia quarter and full zips that we've done twice before. Same logo as the fall sale (LECOM Communications Department approved of the design previously). We received a lot of requests to expand the sale to include faculty/staff. We're going to figure out a way to expand the communication about this fundraiser so that everyone who wants a jacket can get them! Going to start the sale as soon as it is approved and have it run for about 2 weeks so the event start and end dates are not really applicable.

	December 12, 2018 at 11:16 AM	Cancelled	Homeless Shelter Overflow Foot Clinic	SOMA	12/11/2018	01/14/2019	LECOM SOMA would like to continue participating in the foot care clinic at the Homeless Shelter Overflow sponsored by Erie United Methodist Alliance. The care and education offered by medical students to this population offers invaluable experience and opportunity to practice our osteopathic values. The Homeless Shelter Overflow was developed in response to the growing homeless population in Erie and the limited resources for shelter during the harsh winter months. The program runs from late November through late March. The overflow is sponsored by a local place of worship for 2 weeks and then switches to another participating location. The overflow shelter is staffed by volunteers from the parishes as well as from community organizations in Erie. The "guests" (homeless) staying at the shelter are housed for the night until 7 am the next morning. The guests have access to showers, personal care products, and a cot. Additionally, they have access to health resources (faith community nurses through Erie United Methodist Alliance: Healthcare for the Homeless Partnerships) and other local organizations such as Community Health Net. Barbara Lewis, RN, is a Faith Community Nurse and director of EUMA Healthcare for the Homeless. She has been instrumental in implementing the healthcare advocacy at the overflow clinic. She has created a strong relationship with both LECOM SOMA and Bridging the Gaps to initiate programs allowing LECOM students to work with underserved populations. Barbara can be contacted at blewis@euma-erie.org or 814-806-5253. She is very enthusiastic about this partnership with LECOM SOMA and requested to share her contact information to anyone whom may have questions regarding this program. The Homeless Shelter Overflow Foot Clinic was started by medical student Sarah Edwards under the direction of Professor, Dr. Sarah McCarthy. The foot clinic is an adjunct to the overflow shelter, allowing medical students to have the opportunity to interact with homeless individuals as well as provide one-on-one healthcare. The foot clinic is scheduled for every Monday evening from approximately 6-9 pm. The first Monday we would potentially look to start is January 14, and the last scheduled date is March 25. The schedule of the dates and locations of each overflow shelter are included in the attachment. Alanna and Angela are hoping LECOM SOMA can continue working with EUMA and the Homeless Shelter Overflow. We would like to continue practicing our best safety practices while being overseen by Barbara during our time at the clinic. Three students will be scheduled at each foot clinic along with a faculty advisor and at least one of the SOMA Local Healthcare Disparities Coordinators (the role that Angela and Alanna hold currently). The students will meet in the LECOM main campus parking lot and commute to the overflow shelter location together. The interaction between the medical student and the guest of the shelter includes taking a history of the patient, documenting it in their chart, testing pedal pulses, examining the feet for signs of infection/open sores. Students also clean their feet with gloves and antiseptic wash while also offering the patient clean, dry socks. Throughout the process, volunteers are educating the patients on when to visit a doctor and the importance of diabetic foot care. The information from the session is used by the Faith Community Nurses as well as a rotating podiatrist who attends the overflow shelter on selected weeks to follow up with the guests. Medical students are required to attend a training session prior to attending foot clinic where they are trained on the homeless community, how to provide foot care, how to document the patient history, and relevant health topics to discuss with the guest. We hope to conduct this session the first week of the spring semester, the week of Jan 7-11. We would like to use the 2nd floor, main conference room. Foot care is a very important aspect in this population as their main form of transportation is on foot, often through the snow with improper foot wear. Many of these individuals also do not have access to soap, running water, or dry towels. Some of these individuals are unable to bend forward and reach their feet. Not only is the medical student providing care and delivering knowledge to the homeless individual, but they are also rebuilding a relationship with the healthcare system. Many of these individuals have been mistreated by healthcare practitioners due to stereotypes and a misunderstanding of the unique needs associated with serving this population. Additionally, this experience will also provide medical students with the opportunity to work with an underserved population and further develop a sense of empathy and understanding aligning with the osteopathic profession.

	November 23, 2018 at 12:43 PM	Approved	Paws For Patients	Mental Health Task Force	11/23/2018	12/06/2018	Event for students to interact with the Paws for Patients therapy dogs in order to relieve some stress and take their mind off of studying for a bit. We have gotten the permission from Abiding Hope Lutheran Church on West Grandview Blvd to host this event in their multipurpose room. We are hoping to hold the event on December 6th at 6pm-8:30pm. We are aware that the event is only a few weeks away. It took more time to find a suitable date for the therapy dogs, church, and academic schedules. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
	November 20, 2018 at 2:28 PM	Approved	Pediatrics Club General Body Meeting	Pediatrics Club	11/20/2018	12/05/2018	Pediatrics Club would like to reschedule their general body meeting for November to December 5th due to scheduling conflicts with other clubs which overlap Pediatrics Club's typical general body meeting time in Vora Lounge.

	November 13, 2018 at 8:16 PM	Approved	Med Gala 2019	Class of 2022	11/13/2018	01/18/2019	The LECOM Gastby Med Gala will be a formal and dance attended by first and second year osteopathic medical students. The event will include dinner that will be catered by either the location’s in-house services and will have a dance floor for those interested. Check in for guests will begin at 7PM and dinner will be served from 8-9PM. The dance floor will then be opened up from 8-11pm for any interested in dancing. Dr. Johannessen or Dr. Allen will be the faculty advisor on site the evening and security/paramedics will be hired if required by LECOM policy. The event will be strictly non alcoholic and a zero tolerance policy will be in place for those arriving intoxicated, consuming alcohol at the event, or are planning on consuming and driving alcohol later. The event planning committee is open to options for ensuring this policy is upheld. The estimated attendance for the event after recent class surveys for OMS1and OMS2 students is 300. Tickets will be sold at a price between $30 and $40 each if purchased before the end of Fall Semester and $40 if purchased the week of the event. A photo booth may also be present which would assist in raising funds. A target net fundraising goal will be $1500, and will consist of a portion being dedicated to class funds and the remainder to the community non-profit.
