Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it’s not controlled. 

One in 10 Americans have diabetes — that’s more than 30 million people. And another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk if they make healthy changes. Examples of healthy changes include eating healthy, getting more physical activity, and losing weight.

Allow Undergraduates to Shadow You

Shadow Many osteopathic medical schools require applicants to get to know a DO as part of the application process. Undergraduate students often contact NCOMA to request the contact info for osteopathic physicians willing to allow students to shadow them in preparation for their application to medical school. You can help prepare these future osteopathic medical students by giving them an opportunity to experience medicine up close and personal.  To participate, complete a short form using the link below.  Note: The info collected is solely for the purpose of creating a contact list that is shared with undergraduate students as requested.

Campbell Medicine Stethoscope Fund

 Campbell University is excited to announce a new giving opportunity - the Campbell Medicine Stethoscope Fund. In keeping with the tradition of many medical schools, they are providing an opportunity for family, friends, alumni and faculty/staff to support and encourage first year medical students. 

 As you know, each fall, CUSOM hosts a White Coat Ceremony to welcome MS-I’s to the medical profession, and the students are presented with a white coat and stethoscope. Donors are asked to provide a $100.00 per stethoscope donation and a personalized message to the student recipients.

 On the day of the ceremony, students will receive a stethoscope with a message from their donor. If you are interested in donating to this fund, use the link below.
