This event is co-sponsored with several other student organizations including AMSA, Students for Social Responsibility, AMWA, and SUNY for Choice. In preparation for Primary Care Day, students will learn, from third and fourth year students and faculty members, to take blood pressure, give intra-muscular injections, perform glucose screenings, perform visual screening, and do screening interviews. At our monthly speaker series, a variety of topics are addressed by invited speakers including Family Practice residency training, incorporating alternative therapies into allopathic medicine, screening for domestic violence, and interacting with pharmaceutical sales representatives. These informal gatherings are designed to let students explore topics of interest and usually include dinner. Additionally, we sponsor a student panel discussion, where panels of students from the various colleges discuss their training, role in health care, and their interactions with other health care professionals to educate their fellow students.
Faculty members support the student panelists and lend their perspective.
