National Osteopathic Medicine Week:
Sharing Our Profession

by David Warden

National Osteopathic Medicine Week was November 12-16, and the College of Osteopathic Medicine had plenty of activities from an OMM lab open house to free health screens for MSUCOM students, faculty, staff and friends. The celebration included:

 
 


Presentations on good health, organ transplants from a parent's perspective, and Alzheimer's disease; Tours of the Osteopathic Historical Museum; Free health screens by CIMSA, the Community Integrated Medical Students Association; An open house of the new OMM laboratory and teaching lab; An opportunity to "build osteopathic connections," in which students met with SCS hospital CEOs, VPs and DMEs; A Red Cross blood drive as part of the MSU/Penn State Challenge; A luncheon for students to meet administrators and staff ; Multiple exhibits on research, SCS hospitals, programs and units; A continuing medical education program on anthrax and bioterrorism, planned by MSUCOM's Office of CME.

Colleen Kniffen, assistant to the dean, coordinated the week's events.



The panel of SCS administrators talks with students about clinical education.
