Semester Activities
Blood Pressure Clinic
DOT held a blood pressure clinic teaching the basics of blood pressure readings on a patient. It was quite an informative session, followed by a practical session where students got the ability to practice, mentored by upper classmates and faculty.
Electrocardiogram Workshop
DOT held an EKG clinic in collaboration with AMSA about learning all aspects of the electrocardiogram (12-lead). The session was conducted by MD4 Bradley Starkey.
Spirit Week
Students participate in different themes and show their school spirit! Those who show the most win gift certificates. This semester’s themes included: St. Vincent Flag Day, Breast Cancer Awareness Day, Twin Day, Professional Day and Cultural Day.
Seminar: Clinical Empathy with Dr. Jain
In this intimate and highly beneficial seminar, students got to learn about how to break bad news to a patient, learning how to do it in an empathetic approach. This is a valuable professional skill as it will be very important for the USMLE Step 2 CS.
