HEART Elective Info
Hello folks,
I am Jason Cheng, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Michigan. I am also one of the planners for the HEART elective sponsored by AMSA in April 2008. Participants can earn Internal Medicine credit through the University of Florida.
We will be spending one month in the redwoods of California doing hands-on learning from experts about various practices of integrated medicine. We will also be developing our conception of the kinds of healers we want to be. For example, Rachel Naomi Remen, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and developer of "The Healer's Art" course, will be guiding us as we develop our own version of the Hippocratic Oath. Yet another goal is to learn how to combine integrative medicine with work for the underserved.
I believe that participants who go through this elective will become better healers as a result. I am entering psychiatry partly because it is patient-centered, and I believe that my patients will benefit from my participation.
There's so much more that I want to tell you about, but I also need to cover some logistics: please find out more information and apply at our web-page at http://www.amsa.org/ And let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Jason Cheng

UNECOM Alumni Association Scholarships
To all second-year UNECOM students,
Each spring, the UNECOM Alumni Association awards a limited number of scholarships to second-year students (with monies applied to their third year). The funds for these scholarships have been generated through the Fall Reunion/CME Weekend and annual dues collection from those who have graduated before you. For the past couple of years we were able to award five (5) one thousand five hundred dollar ($1,500.00) scholarships. The number and amount will remain the same for this year.
The application for these scholarships consists of two items. First, please submit a CV. Be sure to highlight your involvement in campus and community activities this past year and a half. We are particularly interested in your leadership involvement, tutoring and/or TAing responsibilities, community service, research projects, and other enrichment activities outside the classroom.
Second, please choose one of the case scenarios (click here for cases) and develop a plan of care that utilizes osteopathic principles and practices. As is appropriate, be sure to note evaluation, diagnostic, therapeutic, and educational interventions. In addition, please state your rationale for each intervention. Make no suppositions about the case you select. Do not assume facts not in evidence. If, then scenarios may be discussed. Your response will be judged for structure, content, creativity, completeness, and rationale.
Your plan of care presentation is limited to one typed page. To better standardize the presentations for the various reviewers, please present your plan of care in a Times New Roman font, in 12 point text, single space (double space between paragraphs), with margins no less than 0.75 inches on all four sides. Take care in presenting your best effort in composition and grammar.
Please forward your CV and plan of care presentation to James Gaffney, Coordinator of COM Recruitment and Alumni Services. Materials should be sent electronically to jgaffney@une.edu so that names can be removed before they are distributed to the Alumni Association board members for evaluation. You have three and a half weeks to prepare and submit your CV and plan of care; materials must be received by the close of business (5 p.m.) Wednesday, February 27.
We look forward to receiving and reading your application.
Sincerely,
Polly E. Leonard, D.O. ’95/96
President, UNECOM Alumni Association
