To be a member, by no means do you have to decide on Family Practice residency at this point in your training; nor must you have an interest in primary care. ACOFP, however, depends on your membership to strengthen and promote osteopathic medicine's cause throughout the country in policy making, reform, and competency withing its ranks. ACOFP workd to gain our profession the recognition it deserves, and argue for equality issues that you will be faced with in your career.
The benefits of being a member include free registration to attend the national ACOFP Convention, including free seminars, breakfasts, and lunches. This year the convention will be held in Tampa, FL (usually during Spring Break). Attendance to the convention is encouraged in order to become familiar with Osteopathic medicine, learn about new advances and issues, network with the people you will be working with, and also gives you the forum to voice your concerns about the organization's future. This, along with numerous student scholarships, the Strongest Link residency program, and a free ACOFP t-shirt, mug and other cool stuff, make it worth the free registration!

1. Acquire a better understanding of osteopathic principles, theories, and practice to include:
a. helping students attain a maximum proficiency in osteopathic structural diagnosis and
treatment
b. fostering a clear concept of clinical application of osteopathy in health and disease.
2. Improve public awareness of osteopathic medicine so that the community may better take advantage of the benefits provided by the complete health care concept of osteopathic medicine.
To help accomplish these goals, the UAAO sponsors lecture previews, workshops, speakers, practice practicals and raise awareness in the community. Over spring break there is a national UAAO Convention with numerous guest speakers and demonstrations, instruction in new techniques, and endless debate over theories. Membership for all 4 years is $40 which covers national AAO/UAAO dues as well as your subscription to the AAO Journal and a CD full of fellows notes for your OPP class.

We understand the unique pressures that medicine brings to families and individuals. As a society, we bring resources to help meet those pressures. We are concerned about the ethical challenges brought by modern technology, and we seek to bring a biblical understanding to those challenges. We are dedicated to making the most of the exceptional opportunities for ministry afforded by medicine, from the whole person health care to missions around the world. And we have not forgotten the pressures we face in medical school. We have the only extensive ministry of any Christian organization in the nation to medical students, strengthening them during their demanding years of training, and preparing them for future years of practice and service.

It is not only for those interested in emergency medicine alone but other areas of medicine as well. Many activities are paired with other clubs, offering an even broader scope of information and opportunities. For instance, the suture clinic is paired with the PCSOM Surgery Club offering members of both clubs valuable experience that will be helpful later in their careers. Meetings are monthly allowing students plenty of time to tend to classes. The PCSOM Emergency Medicine Club is a rewarding experience that students can take with them on their road to becoming excellent physicians.

The PCSOM SOASM Club meets on the first Thursday following block exams during lunch on the fourth floor. The club offers to its members opportunities to:
1) Utilize the sports medicine approach to advance the health care for all individuals.
2) The promotion of good health among the general public.
3) Become skilled at taping, casting, training techniques, and sports related rules and regulations.
4) Provide opportunities for exposure to athletic teams on a local and professional level, athletic functions and the means of rehabilitation for team members.
5) Recognizing the importance of utilizing special manual medicine skills in the diagnoses, treatment and prevention of neuromusculo-skeletal injuries, disorders, dysfunctions and diseases.
6) Understanding the mechanics of injury and the prevention of injury for athletes and the general public.
Our primary purpose is to provide interested students with first hand experience in the area of surgery. This year, and in the years to come, we will be gearing the organization toward surgical procedures and techniques performed not only in the hospital setting, but in the primary care outpatient setting as well.
While some SOSA members are considering surgery as a career choice, it is by no means a prerequisite to become a part of our organization. SInce all must eventually do a surgical rotation in their clinical years, all can benefit from becoming a member.
SOSA hosts a variety of speakers on various topics including how to obtain residencies and life as a surgeon, while holding several hands-on workshops including a suture and surgical knot tying clincic, a scrub clinic, surgical/laparoscopic videos, an surgical anatomy reviews.
