OCOM is Accepting Applications!

 

This is a paid announcement being sent on behalf of Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine.  Please direct your inquiries to them.  The Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (OCOM), Central Florida’s newest medical school is interviewing for the Class of 2029! OCOM offers a curriculum that covers two years of didactic training on campus, followed by two years of clinical rotations throughout the state of Florida. The mission of the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine is to train caring and competent osteopathic physicians who will have an impact on the Central Florida community, our nation, and our global community. This is accomplished through our patient-centered education, where all aspects of medical education integrate the biomedical sciences and are applied to clinical scenarios to garner higher learning outcomes using critical thinking led by experienced clinicians. Vertical and horizontal integration facilitates linkage between course and clinical work across the four years of the curriculum. We strongly believe that the clinical application of basic and biomedical sciences offers a superior approach to traditional learning approaches, such as straight recall. By having admission prerequisites in place, we do not need to recreate undergraduate courses in our curriculum; rather, we create just-in-time learning opportunities to ensure that all students are prepared for clinical discussions. Our strongest applicants will have a minimum 3.2 Science and Overall GPA, and a 500 MCAT score. To learn more about the Admissions process, click here or email Admissions@OCOM.org. Thank you for your interest in the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Warm Regards, The OCOM Admissions Team Admissions@ocom.org OCOM.org/admissions

North Florida Sewing Center Internship Program Opportunity

Good afternoon,

My name is Alyssa Davis and I am one of the North Florida Sewing Center's internship coordinators. We are currently recruiting interns for the Fall semester.

About our organization and the internship program:

The North Florida Sewing Center is a crafting/sewing service organization that is dedicated to increasing access to menstrual products by making and distributing reusable menstrual pads locally and internationally. Some of our other projects include quilts for the homeless, fidget mats for patients with dementia, crocheted hats for children's hospitals, and so much more. We also host various classes for the public and work with over 20 other non-profit organizations throughout the state. 

In addition, we also offer internships each semester for people of all ages for volunteer hours and school credit. As part of our internship program, interns will learn to sew, serge, how to rotary cut fabric, several other non-sewing skills, data entry, and running events. Interns will also be able to attend outreach events to inform others about period poverty, NFSC's mission, and work on various projects. Our fall intern application deadline is Wednesday, August 22nd and our required training will be held in person on Friday, August 23, 6-9 pm, and Saturday, August 24, 9-4 pm.
