DMU has the perfect way for pre-med students to get a head start…

The DMU Health Professions Advanced Summer Scholars Program (Health P.A.S.S.) gives them a taste of what it’s like to be a student in osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, physician assistant or physical therapy.

The FREE three-week program takes place at the end of July and is open to college sophomores and juniors who want to get a taste of what med school will be like and pad their resumes with a little hands-on experience. Enrollment is limited to 10 students and applicants must have a minimum cumulative college grade point average of 3.0.

Still! http://www.dmu.edu/doseofdmu/2011/08/happy-birthday-to-a-t-still/ http://www.dmu.edu/doseofdmu/2011/08/happy-birthday-to-a-t-still/#comments Sat, 06 Aug 2011 12:17:15 +0000 Courtney Tompkins http://www.dmu.edu/blog/?p=3770 Today marks A.T. Still’s 182nd birthday. He is known as the father of osteopathic medicine. Osteopathy is a whole body approach to health that recognizes the integral role in wellbeing played by the musculoskeletal system. We are very proud to be the second oldest osteopathic medical schools in the United States. Learn more about what osteopathic medicine is.

Having the D.O. program at DMU also impacts all our other programs in approach, overlap and understanding and that gives our grads an edge. Wouldn’t you want to know your health care practitioner understood other disciplines and had a whole body outlook on your health?

This event consists of SOS members cooking a large quantity of food offsite and providing it, with all the necessary meal accompaniments, buffet-style for any students studying for major exams at DMU on that particular evening. We try to plan these events for times when the study schedule is very busy and we know students won’t have time to cook for themselves. In the past, we have done it crockpot and a la cart style, and have served 100-150 students. This time, we’ll have pasta and many sauces available, and side dishes like bread and salad.

If you are an SOS member, please contact dmusos@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer. If you are a student, please mark your calendar, and look for us in the bottom floor of the academic center at approximately 6 p.m. next Wednesday!
