FSUCARES
MEMBERS TRAVEL ON ANNUAL MEDICAL SERVICE TRIPS |

For the fourth year in a row, members of FSUCares
spent their spring break conducting medical outreach. This year they added
Immokalee, Fla., to their destinations in addition to the U.S.-Mexico border and
Panama. The trips are designed to expose students to health problems in
underserved areas and enable them to contribute to meeting local health-care
needs.
Along with applying clinical skills learned during the
academic year, students experience cultural and societal issues in
medicine. Read more about the Immokalee trip in

MEDICAL
SCHOOL FACULTY AND STAFF JUDGE POSTERS FOR NATIONAL "TAR WARS" COMPETITION |
|
First- and second-year medical students hosted "Tar Wars,"
an
interactive, anti-tobacco campaign, at two local elementary schools this
spring. Created by the American Academy of Family Physicians, "Tar Wars" is
a nationwide campaign. Students from Buck Lake and North Florida Christian
elementary schools created posters for the competition following an
hour-long education program by the medical students. Faculty and staff from
the College of Medicine voted to select the best poster with a positive,
anti-smoking message. The winners from Tallahassee will be invited to attend
a luncheon at the May meeting of the Florida Academy of Family Physicians
Conference at Disney World. |
