Other Activities

Strong Scholarship Each year, SSP Kappa Chapter awards a $1,000 scholarship to a second year student who has demonstrated outstanding academic scholarship and provided noteworthy service to UNECOM, the osteopathic profession, and the surrounding community. We offer this scholarship in honor of the first dean of our college, William B Strong, DO. Members of the second year class are nominated by their classmates and submit an application, which is reviewed by a faculty committee of basic and clinical science professors.

Block Exam Reviews 6 block exams for OMS-I students throughout the year All basic science subjects are combined into an Osteopathic Medical Knowledge (OMK) class We are planning a basic science (OMK) review before the OMS-I block exam in which we will focus on the most confusing subjects for students within that unit May host a “how to study in med school” session with tips and suggestions for staying afloat the first year
