So WSU Pre-SOMA held our second official club meeting this last Wednesday Feb 22nd. If you were not able to attend, dont sweat it. Every premed comes to understand the large demands on time and personal effort it takes to be competitive for medical school. Even if you were unable to make it this time we will be holding more meetings in the future so don't despair. Just to keep you up to speed here is the low-down on whats happening:
Pre-SOMA is involved in the West Weber County Relay for Life! Our team name is Future DOctors. If you are able to participate please sign up, we will be holding meetings and contacting you to keep you up to date on our fundraising efforts. The Relay will be held on June 15th this summer. You can go to the following site to sign up: Click Here.
Pre-SOMA's preceptor program is in the works. We are currently contacting DOs in our area for opportunities to get you out there among the physicians, and hopefully hook you up with contacts that you can receive letters of recommendation from. Please let us know if you are interested in this program, juniors and seniors, as well as those who show up for the meetings most often will be given priority over others.
Our main presentation last week was on each of the nation's current Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine. This information can be very useful if you are getting ready to apply this spring, but also for anyone wanting a lookout into the various schools of Osteopathic medicine that are out there. We have created a Google Doc that contains that information, and have made it available for you to view at anytime. We will be editing it with updated information periodically to keep you informed. You can view it by clicking here.
Please take advantage of our research in this area, and if you have any questions please let us know, many of us have personally contacted representatives from these schools and would love to share what we found with you.
Finally, here are a few things to look forward to for our next upcoming meetings. On Wednesday March 21st we will be having a special speaker Dr Jason Taylor DO, Major, USAF, who is specialized in Emergency Medicine and is currently serving as a Flight Surgeon in the United States Air Force. Then Wednesday March 28th we will be hosting a representative from AT Still Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. This is a great opportunity to get some firsthand information about their medical school.
Well, that about covers everything! Hope that all is well, and that we see you on March 21st. Until then, keep on keepin' on!
