UNECOM introduces Co-curricular transcripts

The Co-Curricular Transcript is a documentation of leadership accomplishments, involvement in student organizations, community service activities and professional/educational development programs. It is designed as a means of recognizing "out of class" learning, development, and contributions.

The Transcript will provide evidence that the individual has been involved in activities that have provided him/her with leadership responsibilities. It will suggest that the individual is well-rounded, and predicts that similar achievements and contributions are likely to occur in future employment.

The Transcript is a means of maintaining accurate, up-to-date records of all co-curricular activities; gives credibility to co-curricular experiences; and provides a more complete view of the student’s experiences. It supplements and supports the resume, and the Dean’s letter of evaluation, which are generally limited to education, work experience, and a few activities. The Transcript provides a total picture of a student's activities, training, leadership experiences and community service for future educational and employment opportunities. 

Co-curricular transcript forms are available in the Office of Recruitment, Student and Alumni Services.  Students are encouraged to begin by documenting activities for the fall of 2003 and spring of 2004.

Let there be light

Recently students reported that the lights in Alfond room 106 were not functioning properly and that they were sometimes left in the dark.  In response to this concern, the motion/ultrasonic sensor that controls the lights in room 106, has been replaced. The original control was installed in 2000 as part of the University energy conservation program and, for one reason or another, failed. If anyone experiences further problems with this, or any other space, please contact the RSAS office so the problem can be addressed.

February interview Sessions

UNECOM interviews continue throughout the month of February with approximately 70 prospective students on campus. Interviews will be held on the afternoons of Monday, February 2^nd, Thursday, February 5^th, Monday February 16^th and February 19^th plus on Saturdays, February 7^th and 21^st.

Student interviewers and student tour guides should watch for further information from Lisa Lacroix-Lane.

COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE

Many students have questions about this exam, such as…What clinical skills are being assessed by COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE?  How is COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE scored?  Will there be sufficient opportunities for me to take COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE? The answers to these questions and many more can be found at http://www.nbome.org/PE03Oct.pdf.

A five-day experiential training program is available to Medical Students at the Betty Ford Center. Visit the website www.bettyfordcenter.org or call 1-800-854-9211, ext. 4108 for more information.

Summer 2004 Preceptorship

The Western Pennsylvania Health Preceptorship Programs is organizing it’s thirty-fifth session for the summer of 2004. The preceptorships offered are available to post-first year medical students. Students are matched with a Western Pennsylvania community hospital for six weeks during the summer. Each student receives a stipend ($1800), and in some cases, room and board. Each student is also assigned to a physician preceptor who is on the hospital staff. The preceptor, or another designated person at the hospital, acts as the coordinator of the student's schedule. The preceptor also serves as an advisor and teacher for the student. Most preceptors are primary care physicians.

Information on this program is available at http://www.pitt.edu/~wphpp/ or in the office of Recruitment, Student and Alumni Services in Stella Maris.  Applications are due March 08, 2004

Teaching Opportunity for Medical Students

Kaplan Test Prep is looking for MCAT teachers in Southern Maine to help students prepare for the April MCAT.

Teaching the MCAT for Kaplan is a great way to earn some money (and obtain some free preparatory resources to study for the COMLEX), while working a very rewarding and fun job. 

Keeping that in mind that medical students are very busy, the programs have been designed to draw minimally on your time.

Schedules can vary from a few hours per month during February, March and April to a more regular weekly schedule. (Most of the MCAT teachers for the Boston-area classes are currently medical students at Harvard, Tufts, and BU Med; and due to the relatively flexible schedule of being a Kaplan teacher; they are able to squeeze it into their schedules.)

Kaplan is happy to provide MCAT Prep, on campus for UNE students for the second year, but we still have a few openings on their teaching team.

If you are interested, please contact, Eric Fleisch, Director of Pre-Medical Programs for New England, at eric_fleisch@kaplan.com or 617-994-0238.

Recognition Corner

UNECOM has more than 30 clubs and organizations that contribute to the life of COM, the University and the larger Biddeford-Saco and greater Portland areas. Have you ever wondered what each of these clubs and organizations do? Do you know what their signature events are? Who the movers and shakers of each group are? What alumni participated in those organizations and where they have gone? Want to find out?

In an effort to recognize and highlight the valuable contributions each group makes, we will be featuring a different club or organization in upcoming editions of The COMmunicator. While we won't be able to highlight all groups this year, we do plan to make sure every group has an opportunity to be recognized before we repeat recognition.  

In addition to highlighting clubs and organizations, we plan to start a new feature that is an in-depth interview with an alumnus of UNECOM. If you know of an alum that you think we should spotlight, please forward their name to bpeters@une.edu. We'll collect the list of names and do follow up interviews. Who knows what you you'll learn about our alumni!

Marine Science Center Releases Its First Rehabilitated Porpoise

A rehabilitated harbor porpoise, which came to UNE's Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center in September 2003, was released January 20, 2004, three miles off of Portland, Maine.  A satellite tag will allow scientists to track the porpoise's movements and diving patterns, helping them assess the animal's behavior and health. Known as "Gus," his movements can also be tracked on-line at WhaleNet. Greg Early and Andre Westgate consulted on the attachment of the satellite tag. The porpoise (also known as NAIB-03-04-Pp) was a 14-month-old male when he was found emaciated and stranded along North Carolina's Outer Banks in March 2003. He was housed at the National Aquarium in Baltimore until Sept. 5, 2003, when he was flown to Maine in a U.S. Coast Guard Falcon Jet, escorted by veterinarians and animal care specialists.

The porpoise continued his final stages of rehabilitation at the UNE Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center, until his release in a specially designed insulated cetacean carrier. At the time of his stranding, he was 117 cm and weighed 21.8 kg. (47.96 lbs). At the time of his release, the animal was 129cm long and weighed 42.45 kgs or 93.4 lbs. The release was accomplished with the support and cooperation of the NE Region Stranding Network, the U.S. Coast Guard and the NOAA Fisheries Service.

Staff and volunteers at UNE, the Virginia Marine Science Museum, and the National Aquarium in Baltimore were involved in the care of the animal and put in approximately 20,000 hours of care and rehabilitation for its release.

Freedom and Orthodoxy: Islam and Difference in the Post-Andalusian Age is  published by Stanford University Press. In the book, Majid takes the view that the inflexible, all-encompassing world  views of Euro-American ideologies that have characterized world history since 1492 have resulted in the retreat of Islam and other non-European traditions into dangerous orthodoxies and a growing climate of suspicion, fear and terror.
