About 20 OU-COM students and faculty volunteered alongside community members at this year’s event. -Carla Saavedra-Santiago 4 www.oucom.ohio.edu
Go! Nearly 90 people participated in the annual 5k Medicine Run despite the cold, cloudy weather. A health fair, which provided free screenings for blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol, and a children’s obstacle course were part of the event as well. Booths were also available to educate people on a variety of health conditions. Close to 50 students volunteered their time throughout the year to make it all happen, noted second-year student Nicole Veitinger, who chaired the events. “Knowing we are giving so much back to the clinic as a result of our hard work is all the reward I need,” she said. The Medicine Run raised $2,000 for the Free Clinic, an amount that exceeds last year’s record donation of $1,350. -Andrew Tillotson OU-COM “Today” Jacqueline Wolf, Ph.D., associate professor of social medicine, far left, appeared on NBC’s “Today,” April 26, to discuss professional and informal wet nursing.

In her new position, Sinn will develop programs at osteopathic medical schools nationwide and collaborate with local coordinators to identify problems in specific regional populations. Her duties include developing relationships with national medical organizations like the American Lung Association and working with other members of the national board to develop the SOMA Fall Convention National Philanthropic Project in San Diego.
