Educational Enhancement Fund Info
If you are a UNECOM student and plan to attend the AOA Conference September 30-October 4, there may be some financial assistance available to you. The RSAS Office anticipates supplementing students who travel to the AOA Conference and who also fill out an Educational Enhancement Fund (EEF) request form. Since the amount of EEF funding for students will depend in part on how many students apply, we’d like to have numbers solidified as early as possible – that way both the RSAS Office and students may plan their budgets better.
Students who turn in their EEF form one month or more before the conference will be given priority consideration. That means that forms should be submitted to the RSAS Office by Wednesday, September 5. This will enable us to make decisions on how much each student may be awarded. It is important to note that applicants are not absolutely guaranteed funding. In addition, the overall funds available are 
$10,000 for the entire year, with an approximate $5K split for each semester. This $10,000 fund is split between all applicants, so if a large number of students apply for assistance, the individual awards are reduced accordingly.
The Educational Enhancement Fund was developed to defray costs associated particularly with conference travel and attendance. Students who plan to attend the AOA Conference (or other conferences) should notify Steve Smith in the RSAS Office via email (please, no phone calls) at ssmith12@une.edu. You may either download an EEF form from the shared files section of your class page, or Steve can email you an EEF form to complete. All normal EEF regulations apply. Regulations include the following:
-Students may receive Educational Enhancement Funds only once per academic year.
-Priority is given to students who participate actively in events (i.e. present research at a conference or are involved in leadership.)
-Priority is given to events that occur during the academic year.
-After the event, students MUST BRING IN ALL RECEIPTS associated with their travel in order to receive their awarded funds. Failure to bring in receipts will result in forfeiture of funds awarded. This is because the University Business Office must have proper documentation to cut a check. Your receipt total must equal or exceed the funds requested (a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised…)
-Students who receive EEF assistance must schedule a time to give a presentation to their peers about what they learned at their particular conference. Students who attend the same conference may schedule a joint/group presentation. The RSAS office must be notified of these presentations.
The Educational Enhancement Fund is a supplement, not a substitute, for a student’s own resources. Please plan your budget accordingly. Thanks.
Update contact info on U-online
All COM students (including MSIII and MSIV) are reminded to update contact information and permanent mailing addresses on U-Online. The University occasionally mails important information to students, and these items are sent to whichever address you have listed on U-Online. Failure to update your address in a timely manner may result in not receiving important information. Students who have questions about how to update their contact information may direct questions to Tracie Purcell in the RSAS Office (Tpurcell@une.edu; or 207-602-2329.)

Air Force Training (Part 2 of 2)
[Editor’s Note: This article, written by Steve Menard, MSII, chronicles the adventures of two UNECOM students during their Air Force training in the summer of 2007. Part 1 appeared in the August COMmunicator.]
The second week was very cool. The topic for the last week was flight physiology. The hands-on part included the centrifuge and altitude chamber.
The centrifuge - BAFB is home to one of only two that the Air Force has - is used to train pilots and other flight personnel in the effects of multiple G’s on the body. During hard maneuvers, fighter pilots can be subjected to up to nine time the force of gravity. Without certain 
techniques, a pilot would black out in seconds due to the pooling of blood in their feet. The “G-strain” is a technique used to prevent this pooling of blood. It is pretty much like straining to go to the bathroom, if you know what I mean. It works incredibly well if you breathe correctly.
The moment of truth came. Our flight profile consisted of a slow increase from 1G to 5G’s in .10G/s increments. Following that, we were spun from 1 to 3G’s with an acceleration of 3G’s per second. We had to perform the “G-strain” and not lose consciousness for 15 seconds. Finally, we did the same procedure, except that we were spun up to 5G’s. It is so forceful that it will pull your eyelids almost shut and make your face look like it’s melting.
The really surprising experience was the physiologic result of quick deceleration. When we quickly slowed down from the spin, we had this overwhelming feeling that we were falling forward. I could not control my eyes from clicking downward and then back to level. I had to grab onto the top of the simulator to confirm that I was actually sitting still.
Once we completed the centrifuge, we were then subjected to visual illusions that can sometimes be experienced while flying. While sitting in a flight simulator, different scenarios were programmed to stimulate confusion between our brain and our proprioceptive system. During these scenarios, not only does your body feel like it is spinning as you are sitting still… there is also a very strong urge to empty all the contents of your stomach.
Finally, we ended our flight physiology experience with the altitude chamber. This exercise was to demonstrate hypoxia and be able to quickly and correctly identify its symptoms. After being fitted for all the gear, we were taken up to 10,000 feet (simulated altitude). An in-flight emergency (rapid decompression) was experienced which started our wonderful symptoms of hypoxia.
We were given a worksheet that tested our cognitive skills while hypoxic. Our instructions were to don our pressurized mask once we identified two symptoms of hypoxia. Just breathing pressurized oxygen alone was a task, now I had to do all of this with a decreasing amount of oxygen in my blood. At first it seemed kind of cool; my hands and body tingled and I felt really lightheaded. Then I began to experience confusion and I was told to put my mask on. Almost instantly, the symptoms went away. By the end of the worksheet, I was unable to unscramble simple words and follow instructions. What a weird experience.
That last Friday, we graduated and made our goodbyes; I believe that we all had a great time. We were given plenty of insight as to what to expect for our third and fourth years, as well as for residencies. Quite a few people showed interest in learning about Osteopathic Medicine and what we were all about.
I have yet to meet an Osteopath who doesn’t want to at least articulate some bone on someone to prove our value. Following suit, we demonstrated techniques and bantered back and forth with other students as to what differences we learned to treat people. Overall, it was an excellent experience. I had an overwhelming feeling when we visited BAMC. To see the result of war was horrifying and quite sad; yet there were many things that we have learned and continue to learn from this war.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation…
I was in Assiut, Egypt. I went through the IFMSA Research Exchange Program. I worked in the NICU, and the Neurosurgery project was Neural Tube Defects. I was there for one month!
- Rima Zahr, MSII
Did I travel this summer? Yes, to Burlington, Vermont, where I spent six weeks with a group of students from various medical colleges (Tulane, Columbia, Brown, West Virginia Osteopathic, UNECOM, and Oregon Health Sciences) prowling through the ins and outs of cadavers in gross anatomy. Without a car, I rode my bike a lot, lost four pounds (yea!), and had a great time with my UNE roommate in the dorm.
The course was great, and it was wonderful waking up every morning to find mountains ringing the town. I didn't realize how much I missed mountains until the first morning when I saw them and it felt like home (Boulder, Colarado). One of the most interesting things I discovered was the interest my allopathic classmates had in osteopathy and the sense of equality we all felt, working together with a 
common goal. I hope it serves as a portent of good things to come for the osteopaths and allopaths who make up our new generation of physicians.
Not very romantic or adventurous, but that was my travel experience this summer!

I was terribly boring this summer. I went to two family reunions; at one I met my cousin who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame as an AAGPBL pitcher. The rest of my summer, my husband and I worked on building a garage with a master suite on top. “Building” as in we're swinging hammers, cutting wood, learning to frame, head and sill windows and doors, hang joists, raise walls, place beams, etc. If anyone gets bored with anatomy or neuro, we have 18 rafters yet to be raised to the second story and put in place (after, of course, we build a temporary wall so we can put up ceiling joists and put the roof peak beam in place), sheath, roof, etc. Eat your Wheaties before you come over. Basic carpentry (a.k.a Orthopaedics 101); perhaps I should reconsider ortho.
Nothing amazing, difficult, or unusual here. Just splinters.

I didn't do anything super cool, but I did shadow a family doc in the Vail Valley to see what that was like (I have some nice pics of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park), and I did a great fundraising bike event to raise money for the Children's Hospital of Denver. It was three days, 157 miles, over three mountain passes, and climbed around 12,000 ft, with the highest point over Fremont Pass at 11,300 ft. That was a pretty cool experience.

I drove around the country for a month in my new vegetable-oil powered car (thanks to education and support from Scotty McQuilkin, MSIV, biodiesel guru), then went to the Dominican Republic to work with providers from the USM program running rural clinics. I also spent many days floating down a river in New Hampshire with old inner tubes.

My first look at my new home came after a 3-hour canoe ride from the closest ‘city’. It was a small village called Mondaña, composed of 250 people nestled next to the Napo River in Ecuador. I couldn’t help but smile as the canoe slid up on the bank. I knew I was in a good place when I looked at the thatched houses on stilts, the small green clinic on the outskirts of town, and the empty church on the top of the hill symbolizing the empty promise the religion brings to much of the region. The church was built over 30 years ago, and is now used once a year by a priest who comes down from the city annually. Even though the church sits empty, 99% of the people would readily 
identify themselves as Catholic. This remote community away from everything was exactly where I needed to be.
I spent the next two months learning real medicine. Every day I would wake up at 5:45am to eat a meal of rice and something else, be it vegetables, chicken, or fish heads (my favorite dish). Then a little half-mile walk through the jungle to the clinic. These walks, be they on the way to the clinic or through the rainforest, were some of my favorite times. I got to wear big rubber boots and stomp in every puddle I saw. Unsurprisingly, the rainforest was wonderfully wet and muddy. Most days at the clinic consisted of seeing about 20-30 patients, and about 50 on market days. The main diseases I learned to treat while I was working were respiratory infections, chronic urinary tract infections (most women would have a UTI for 1-3 months before seeking treatment), parasite infection, skin infections, machete cuts, snake bites, Tuberculosis, and malnutrition.
By the end of my stay I was seeing my own patients, prescribing and dosing medication, giving shots, suturing minor cuts, and of course giving OMM treatments (mostly ankles and mid and lower back). Along with the normal clinic things, I went on countless hikes in the jungle, taught CPR, first aid, and sex education to high school students, cleared numerous fields with local farmers, planted crops, and helped build a dam. For a first year student looking for a last summer to learn a new language and experience a part of another culture, this was absolutely one of the best summers of my life. I encourage anyone who is questioning what to do with their last summer to seriously look into spending a bit of time abroad.

I went to India this summer in hopes of being able to see my maternal grandmother and also gaining a valuable clinical experience in global health. One amazing feeling which occurred was the trust and openness that my relatives and patients expressed knowing that I was in medical school, knowing I was going to be a doctor one day. I used my soft tissue techniques from OPP to help various relatives and patients during my stay.
But what was more amazing was being able to work alongside a neurosurgeon and watch him perform laproscopic spinal surgeries. I followed this physician in his private practice where he consulted the patients that he operated on in the hospital. In India things work differently. One of the main things I heard from most of the physicians is how Americans waste so much material, and if even ¼ of that material was given to hospitals in India, it could make a big difference. The only people who wore gloves in the operating room were the nurse and the surgeon - the only two handling the sterilized equipment.
It was definitely a very different OR experience for me in India. Just a few days ago (in class), we learned how to scrub in, and my 
experience of scrubbing in was very different in India. There was no washing each side of your finger 20 times with a brush. They wore slippers without any socks on their feet, although the slippers remained within the OR area. I had the opportunity to observe surgeries of the spine and brain. It was definitely an educational experience and clinical experience I’ll never forget. Oh yeah, during my stay I had the chance to go traveling too!
If anyone wants to know more about India, or practicing medicine there, they can talk to me.

This summer I had the opportunity to be an AFAR Geriatric Summer Scholar at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The program was designed to integrate clinical or epidemiological research in geriatric medicine with clinical medicine and medical education. While there, I conducted epidemiologic research on fatigue and the outcome of disability under the guidance of Dr. Linda Fried, among others.
In addition to my research experience I had the opportunity to do clinical rotations with many experts in geriatric medicine and to attend seminars based on current geriatric issues. Witnessing clinical settings, research, and geriatric education working in concert with one another gave me a new appreciation for the complexities that face medicine as a whole, especially those being faced within geriatric medicine. It is a very hopeful field that has vast possibilities for anyone interested in any aspect of medicine.

I spent a little more than a month living in Oaxaca, Mexico. I volunteered in a clinic, named Clinica Del Pueblo, dedicated to providing healthcare, both general and specialty, to populations of people with little financial resources. The clinic provides services to people who otherwise would not have normal access to care. They are involved in community health education, working with local schools and the families of the students. There are numerous education programs for the patients themselves in terms of diabetes management.
The clinic has a small five-bed hospital with an OR (mainly general surgeries), birthing room and ophthalmology OR. I rotated through the three main aspects of the clinic. I worked with the nurses doing patient intake, taking vital signs and initial paperwork. I worked with the 
doctors while they were seeing patients. I traveled to local schools with the education aspect working on sexual, nutritional, dental and eye health. We interacted with students, teachers and parents.
My favorite rotation was in the hospital aspect of the clinic, observing and assisting in surgeries, learning the pre/post-op procedures, and patient care. I learned about the instruments, preparations of surgical material, and the sterilization processes following surgery. I also had the opportunity to spend a few nights in the ER of the Civil Hospital.
Aside from the clinic, I traveled in the area of Oaxaca. I lived with a family; I spoke Spanish the whole time as no one at the clinic spoke English, and likewise in my living situation. So my awareness of a foreign healthcare system, its implementation and services, was expanded. Also, my language skills improved immensely. It was an all-around awesome experience.

This summer, Myra Cyr, MSIII, Maria Weinstein, MSII, Suzan White, MSII, and I attended the Integrative Medicine Elective at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. It was funded by a grant from the Dr. Andrew Weil Foundation and was run by Dr. Craig Schneider, Director of Integrative Medicine at Maine Medical Center. There were ten students selected for the program representing multiple schools from around the nation.
The elective included multiple talks by various speakers including: Integrative medicine overview, acupuncture, mindfulness, journaling, mind/body harmonic therapy, homeopathy, culture in medicine, shamanic healing, evidence-based integrative medicine, osteopathic medicine, and the nature of naturopathy. It also included our participation in interactive activities such as: "Cooking for Health in Medical School," a garden tour of Avena Botanicals in Rockport, Maine, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, a "Fit for Medical School" work out, and individual treatments with licensed healers.
Overall, we walked away from the elective having learned about, and having experienced, many specific fields of integrative medicine that we may now use to educate our patients as they strive for good health and overall well being.

I had an amazing experience in Ecuador this summer, despite the many physiologic and emotional challenges I faced. I chose to visit Ecuador because I was very interested in the Galapagos Islands. The islands were made famous when Charles Darwin and his scientific team started observing the unique characteristics the animals had on each island. On the islands, Darwin found a great deal of evidence to support his theory of evolution. The islands were and still are relatively "untouched" by mankind. I had an amazing time getting friendly with the Blue-footed Boobies and swimming with the very playful sea lions.
My other travels around Ecuador brought me to lazy beach towns, snow-topped Andes peaks and to the edge of the Amazon, but my favorite part of the trip was my time at Baca Ortiz. Baca Ortiz is a public children's hospital in the capital city, Quito. The patients at Baca Ortiz are very sick, and most of the families being treated cannot afford their care let alone their medications. My job as a volunteer was to entertain the kids with toys. After just one day in the hospital I felt like I had accomplished more than I had ever accomplished in my many years of volunteering. Even with my limited Spanish, I had a blast teaching the kids Memory and Snakes and Ladders. I almost cried when my favorite little boy got to finally go home after having four open brain surgeries and over sixty stitches in his head. It was a truly touching experience that I will never forget!

Through the support and guidance of Dr. Marilyn Gugliucci, I applied to the AMSA End of Life Fellowship Program in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I was accepted as one out of six medical students (both M.D. and D.O.) from around the country to participate in the program. The End of Life Education Fellowship Program is a six-week summer experience designed to introduce medical students to end of life care issues.
The program combined an orientation to end of life care with weekly seminars and field placements at local hospices, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and inpatient units. I spent two days per week in seminar sessions, and three days a week rotating through placement sites. I worked with interdisciplinary hospice teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and bereavement counselors while also learning about the ethical, psychological, sociological, cultural and spiritual aspects that surround EOL care.
At the conclusion of the program, I developed an end of life curricula to be implemented at UNECOM and to be shared on the web with medical schools across the nation. It was truly a remarkable experience that allowed me to practice clinical medicine and to learn the various issues surrounding terminal patients at an early point in my medical training!

Medical School Reflections From the Son of a Saddlemaker - Bill Conway, MSI
If someone could have been voted “The Person Least Likely to Become a Doctor” in my high school, it would have been me. Oh, I was interested in science all right, but I was lousy at math and besides that, medicine wasn’t in my jeans, and I do mean “jeans;” I was raised in the country by the son of a Colorado cowboy and a city girl from Denver. My father made saddles for a living and my mother did what women in the 1950s did: raised a family and worked part-time. We had horses and dogs and I awoke as a child to the song of meadowlarks in the morning.
It wasn’t a perfect life – there are no perfect lives – but it was a good one and I’m grateful for it. I learned responsibility by caring for animals and I grew to love nature, wandering through stream-fed meadows. I watched doctors on film like the army psychiatrist, “Captain Newman, M.D.,” and imagined myself in his place. But there were no doctors in my family, no precedence for me to call upon and no footsteps in which to follow.
I had a powerful example, however, in my father, who insisted on living the life of his choosing. We were rarely financially comfortable but 
dad was free; he owned his own business and frequently reminded me that conforming to the expectations of others was costly: “You’ve got to be yourself.”
Following that advice hasn’t always been easy. The older you get, the more psychological baggage you accumulate, and your choices often seem carved in stone. When you’ve wrestled enough with yourself, old dreams can break into awareness and demand attention. That’s what happened with me, and once I got into medical school, I was certain I’d let nothing prevent my success. The fact is, my first year was very difficult and I struggled with failure. I’d been out of school for six years, and prior to my premedical courses it had been over ten years since I’d been a graduate student. I was frustrated, and fearful I’d lose what I’d worked so hard and so long to obtain.
In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, we discover that Captain Kirk is the only person in Starfleet to have overcome the dreaded Kobayashi Maru, the no-win scenario. He did it by re-programming the computer in order to gain the advantage he needed. My advisor, Dr. James Norton, helped me see the wisdom in similarly changing the structure of my education from four to five years. Within a matter of weeks, things began to turn around for me. My performance improved substantially, my confidence increased, and I hope I became a better friend and husband.
My father faced failure, too, but he never abandoned the life he wanted. Even leukemia couldn’t stop him. When he could no longer make saddles, his second-career as a minister allowed him to reach out to others. I’ve learned the hard way that the process of medical education is as important as the goal. If we need to change the parameters of our personal “Kobayashi Maru” to work for us, that’s what we do. What do they call someone who graduates from UNECOM in five years? The same thing they call them after four: “Doctor.”
It wasn’t easy accepting my need for five years, and it was a loss to be mourned. For one thing, it represented a blow to my self-esteem. My class is also especially close-knit, and I felt sad knowing we would not graduate together. But this wonderful bunch responded to me with support and encouragement; we’ll always be the class of 2010, no matter when we graduate.
The best thing to have come out of the past year is, I’ll become the person I’m capable of becoming and, like my father before me, I’ll live the life of my own choosing. When I came to Maine, I knew I would gain a great deal from my experiences at UNECOM, but I could never have imagined just how much. I think Dad would be proud.

First Year Student Wins Honors for Thesis
Prior to attending UNECOM, Margaret Rothman, MSI, completed her master's degree at Boston University and a thesis entitled: " End of Life Care Medical Education: A Comparison of Allopathic and Osteopathic Medical Schools." Meg was recently notified that she has been awarded Honors Status. The BU Review Committee commended Meg on an "excellent and important study." Marilyn R. Gugliucci, Ph.D., Dept of Family Medicine, was Meg's thesis advisor.
Medical Students Make an Impact in Downtown Biddeford
The heart of the D.O. culture is about working with the community in the small towns where our medical schools are located. As medical students, we follow the lead of our young physician mentors like Dr. Joel Kase, Dr. Chris Pezzullo, Dr. Stephanie Waecker, and Dr. Dorris 
Newman who are active in the Maine Osteopathic Association (MOA) and the communities that they practice in. Community involvement has long been in the spirit of the osteopathic physicians in Southern Maine, dating back to the great success of the Osteopathic Hospital of Maine, and is one of the reasons why so many patients in this area choose to receive their health care from an osteopathic physician.
Medical students are contributing to Downtown Biddeford in a number of ways. Last year, students hosted a “mustache competition” to raise money for Caring Unlimited. Caring Unlimited, located in Biddeford, provides services for women who are victims of domestic violence. Students have long worked in area health clinics, elementary schools, and soup kitchens. Medical students also run coffee shops and restaurants in the Main Street area. Most importantly, students are consumers of the services offered in Downtown Biddeford. Many medical students are deeply committed to supporting small downtown businesses instead of nationally advertised chains located at Biddeford Crossing.
There are now more options than ever for competitively priced student housing in Downtown Biddeford. A young architect named Chris Betjemann, with a degree from Virginia Tech, is purchasing old buildings and renovating the apartments for medical student use. These apartments have freshly finished hardwood floors, granite counter tops, European style faucets, and European designed heating systems that are more efficient and smaller in size than customary radiant heaters. More of these apartments are coming furnished, and Chris is exploring providing housing on a short-term basis for students coming to Maine for a few rotations or for Colloquium. While living at the beach has always been appealing to med students, it poses a few problems.
Students living at the beach are always in search of a place to stay during their first month of school, since many landlords require that students move in after the first of September - when the summer vacation rental season is over. While this timeline may work well for undergraduate students, medical students typically have exams at the end of August, and the idea of moving after courses have begun is not appealing. Living at the beach also puts students farther away from groceries, gasoline, and I-95, the corridor to preceptor assignments, airports, and shopping malls. In some cases, it can be a twelve-mile round trip drive to buy groceries.
DownEast magazine recently ran a cover story on Biddeford, contrasting the changing Main Street community with the beach communities. Most of the wealth in Biddeford lies in the waterfront areas of Hills Beach and Biddeford Pool, yet the Main Street area shows surprising potential - especially for students short on time and money who are looking for a quick lunch and a coffee on their way 
to a quiet study.
Safety in Biddeford has improved. Police now patrol the Main Street on bicycles as well as in squad cars. Markets, food, banks, laundry, the Post Office, and City Hall are all within walking distance in Downtown Biddeford. Medical students have been holding events at Wonderbar - renting out the second floor for the student band to perform. The Wonderbar is an Irish-American Restaurant and bar run by a Biddeford family for the last twenty-five years. To welcome the students Downtown, the Wonderbar and other restaurants have been handing out coupons to students for free meals.
While coffee shops and restaurants struggle to have staying power in Downtown, we now have a Sushi restaurant, Thai food, Indian cuisine, the ever-famous Happy Dragon Chinese Restaurant, pizza, and several sub shops. Todd Kitchens, a second year medical student, operates Union House, which is a swank wi-fi cafe serving coffee, sandwiches, and soon beer and wine. Todd has decorated Union House with artwork from local artists, and hosts local musicians on weekend evenings. While in Biddeford, check out the Pilates studio in a building owned by Kim Roseberry - a photographer for Oak Point Associates. Oak Point Associates is an architectural firm that has recently expanded their offices in Downtown Biddeford. Kim has traveled all over the world and has published a book of her photographs from China.
Biddeford definitely has a young feeling, with osteopathic medical students and young businessmen and women working to bring culture and style to the historic Downtown area. City Theater has taken off, thanks to a recent renovation of one of Biddeford's last remaining theaters. City Theater Associates hosts shows year-round, and occasionally screens movies.
Part of the mission of the Heart of Biddeford, a Main Street Maine Program, is to recruit people like Kim Roseberry and Chris Betjemann to start businesses in Downtown Biddeford or to buy and renovate Downtown buildings. As medical students, we are lucky to go to school in a community that welcomes our input and efforts. The training we get here will be important later on as we try to improve the nation's crumbling health care system as future physicians.

Burroughs Wellcome Fund/American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Postdoctoral Fellowship in Tropical Infectious Diseases
Application Deadline: October 5, 2007
Click here to download application details:
http://www.astmh.org/funding/index.cfm
Thanks to a generous, expanded grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene is able to award three (3) postdoctoral fellowships each year. Each awardee will receive two (2) years of support. Although the program will still target postdoctoral infectious diseases fellows, applicants who have completed training in other clinical specialties relevant to tropical medicine (e.g. internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN) will also be considered.
These postdoctoral fellowships provide support for individuals to conduct research in tropical infectious diseases (and, on occasion, other clinical conditions unique to tropical medicine). Funding is available for two twelve-month periods. The first award will be made during fellowship (generally the final year); during Year One of BWF/ASTMH support, the fellow should commit at least 80% of his/her effort to research and spend at least three months working in a tropical or developing area. The second half of the award will be made once the grantee has entered a stable, entry-level faculty position; Year Two of the BWF/ASTMH fellowship carries the same expectations as Year One, i.e. 80% research effort and at least three months' work in a tropical or developing area.
These fellowships are not intended to provide funding for overseas clinical electives or experiences. The purpose of the BWF/ASTMH fellowships is to stimulate or sustain interest in research in tropical infectious diseases by individuals who are planning academic or other career paths ultimately focused on clinical research relevant to tropical or developing areas of the world.
Support: $65,000 per year for two years to cover stipend, fringe benefits, and health insurance. In Year Two of the BWF/ASTMH felllowship, $10,000 is also available for supplies, communications and travel expenses. These fellowships do not allow indirect costs.

COMments from Rotations
First of all, I have to say that I was really nervous for the first few days, thinking that I wasn't going to like 3rd year. Being on rotations is a completely different style of learning than sitting in a classroom, which is all I had known before this. I am constantly being put on the spot, with no time to really think, and I have learned to trust my gut instinct. Also, life is no longer multiple choice :) so it's been a challenge to 
adjust my brain to this new environment. I'm getting better at it, and the more comfortable I get, the more I love rotations.
The physicians I work with in Family Practice are wonderful teachers, and I am learning SO much! I'm in Newark, which isn't for the faint of heart :O) but I see pathology that I will probably never see again, and I really think that this was the perfect place for me. We live in the hospital, which has its ups and downs (ups being that we can roll out of bed and head upstairs on surgery and IM rotations, and the fact that New York City is about eight miles away, downs being the fact that there are about five showers and not enough hot water for 19 people) but overall I'm really enjoying it here. We have a great group down here and we're having a blast!
My first two years at UNECOM were fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for a better class to spend my two years in Maine with, but I think that the reason most people go into medicine is to make a difference in peoples' lives, and when you get out on the floors and start working with people, it will reinforce your commitment to this profession. So, chin up 2010 and 2011 - 3rd year is right around the corner and the fun never stops!! :)
I am more than happy to talk to anyone about 3rd year in general, Newark in particular, so feel free to shoot me an email.

Well, I started off my third year back in Biddeford with the Neuroanatomy rotation. It has been a lot of fun working with the second-year students, and I am enjoying the teaching aspect greatly.
For the clinical side of things, we each see a client at River Ridge Rehab in Kennebunk. My patient has been an interesting experience in that he is not very cooperative (he is only capable of saying four words, and one of those is not for use in polite conversation), but it is still interesting (and sad) to see a real person who presents with the symptoms we learn about during third year.
Every year of medical school seems to get better than the previous year; this definitely seems to be the case with third year, so far. So put in the hard work first- and second-years, because it only gets better!

I am enjoying my clinical rotations CONSIDERABLY more than the first two years of medical school. In one light-bulbed moment of patient interaction, all those hours of studying minute details finally come together and reinforce that I made the correct career decision (Getting my loan interest statements detract from that affirmation, but I digress.)
There is for some people (myself included, about a year ago) some anxiety about what you will be expected to know on rotations. It seems most often that if you can answer at least the following two questions, you are going to be ok: "What is your name?” and, “Where are you from?" If anyone is thrown into existential crisis attempting to respond to these two simple questions, Scutmonkey is not going to help you. As a matter of fact, Scutmonkey probably won't help you with much of anything. Though it is a fun word to say.
I don't want to get too much into what books/materials to use, as everyone is different and has their individual views about what they 
want to, or feel that, they should learn. I will say that items I would not want to have missed include my stethoscope, UpToDate (which is available on every computer at every hospital I've worked in), Surgical Recall (those surgeons are a leeetle more intense), and an every-ready ability to act interested.
Note that I did not say brown-nose. If you have made it to this point, it seems that you must have some seed of inherent thirst for knowledge. It would be to your benefit to let this show. That does not include asking questions to demonstrate what you read last night. Or inquiring about what an aspirin is because you've never heard of it before. Just like in high school math class, you most often get assessed more for showing your thought process than for getting the right answer.
I'd say the hardest part of rotations for me, besides giving Foley-assisted fleet enemas, was deciding what specialty to go into. I liked all of them. (Except Peds. I like kids. A lot. I just don't like seeing them sick. I don't like dealing with parents. A ton of credit for those of you who do.) There is also conflict between what I think I might truly enjoy as a specialty versus what I think I want my lifestyle to be like. I am still trying to figure out how to make those compatible, though I am told that once you're an almighty attending, you can make your practice anything you like. I am not sure if this is true, or if it is the unattainable Holy Grail promised at the end of the journey.
So, in conclusion, rotations are great. Getting weekends back was really nice. And I've had more time to do "fun" things like meet up with college friends or go biking without always having to feel like I should be studying. Best of luck to my fellow classmates who are starting residency applications... MSPE, ERAS, CV....more acronyms, more fun.

UA Program in Integrative Medicine Expands Integrative Medicine in Residency Project; Names New Project Director
Integrative Medicine in Residency, the Program’s newest educational initiative under the leadership of new director Patricia Lebensohn, M.D., has established partnerships with seven residencies for the project’s initial pilot next summer.
Integrative Medicine in Residency (IMR) - the first program to bring in-depth integrative medical education to enrolled residents – will launch a pilot of IMR in July of 2008 at seven family medicine residencies nationwide. Participating pilot sites include the family medicine residencies at the University of Arizona, Tucson; Beth Israel, New York; Carolina’s Medical Center, Charlotte, North Carolina; Maine Medical Center, Portland Maine; Maine-Dartmouth, Augusta, Maine; Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; and the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas.
IMR Director Dr. Patricia Lebensohn comes to the Program from the University of Arizona, College of Medicine, where she has served as residency director for the Family Medicine Residency since 1999. Dr. Lebensohn is a graduate of the Program’s Fellowship in Integrative Medicine and directs the Integrative Family Medicine program at the U of A, as well as working as contributing faculty for the Fellowship.
“Over the next three years, development of IMR into a nationwide, self-sustaining education program is a major goal for our organization,” said Victoria Maizes, M.D., Executive Director of the Program in Integrative Medicine. We are so pleased Dr. Lebensohn has agreed to steward Integrative Medicine in Residency as it embarks on this important transition.”
Integrative Medicine in Residency is a competency-based curriculum in Integrative Medicine that can be incorporated into the typical three-year residency program. The curriculum is designed to be woven through all three years of training with a common web-based curriculum, in addition to program-specific experiential and group process-oriented activities. Residents will learn how to incorporate IM concepts into their practices, including learning patient-centered care techniques, facilitating lifestyle changes, referring appropriately to complementary and alternative (CAM) practitioners, assessing scientific and historical evidence for allopathic and CAM approaches to specific diseases and syndromes, and appropriately integrating mind-body, botanical, nutrition/supplements and physical activity recommendations into their practices.
“The pilot program will follow ACGME guidelines in developing a competency based curriculum,” said Dr. Lebensohn, “through conducting a thorough needs assessment of curricular needs, defining of competencies based on the outcome project six domains, development of the web-based curriculum and a comprehensive evaluation plan.
