Medical Missions in the Dominican Republic Gabrielle Cortese, MS-I, shared her personal experience after returning home from a recent outreach trip.

A small team of students, both DO and MSBS, along with Community and Global Health faculty members traveled to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in midDecember for a medical mission trip. They partnered with a local church, Iglesia Comunitaria Kefalé, and conducted four clinics in four different churches within the city of Santo Domingo. The team treated 775 patients during that time.

"Humbled. Inspired. Grateful. There are far too many words and far too few pictures to capture this past week serving in the Dominican Republic. I am humbled by the work that was done and yet so much that still needs to be done to help these people with their medical needs. I am inspired by the people I got to work alongside as well as the patients we treated.

Despite the great need for medical care, gratitude and generosity flowed out of them onto us every day. The translators were tremendously helpful and gracious when my Spanish was less than good (which was quite often). The translators and the churches we partnered with have such a heart for their people and continually inspired me as they loved each and every person that walked through the door. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others through medicine, prayer, and the washing of their feet. Health is one of the few things that transcends all boundaries and barriers, even cultural and language barriers. My dream of becoming a physician that leans in, listens attentively, values each patient as a person, and does all that is in my power to comfort and care for their needs became more tangible this week. " - Gabrielle Cortese, MS-I

The Campbell Medicine Class of 2023 reads the Osteopathic Oath together.

The White Coat Ceremony | A Day to Remember 162 Campbell Med students received their white coats at the 2019 White Coat Ceremony.

O

n Saturday, November 2nd, the Campbell University Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine’s Class of 2023 celebrated a rite of passage that every first year medical student eagerly anticipates as they formally received their white coats at the 2019 White Coat Ceremony. Friends and family members from across the country gathered together in the new Hobson Performing Arts Center to celebrate this milestone event.

President, Ronald Burns, DO, and the North Carolina Osteopathic Medical Association (NCOMA).

“This is a great day and an important milestone in your journey,” said Jim Powers, DO, interim dean for the School of Medicine, in his opening remarks. “It's one that's going to welcome you to the profession and symbolize your commitment to taking good care of other people and also your commitment to accept the roles and responsibilities that you'll have when you enter this honorable profession.”

Stephen DeMeo, DO, delivered the keynote address. Dr. DeMeo is a neonatologist at WakeMed Hospital where he also serves as the Regional Assistant Dean for the Campbell Medicine Raleigh Clinical Campus.

Students and guests were also welcomed by Campbell University President Bradley Creed and Barbara Walker, DO, on behalf of the American Osteopathic Association’s

Dr. Creed shared how Campbell medical students help to embody what Campbell is all about – a place that provides opportunities for people who want to serve using their gifts, talents, skills, and knowledge to help others and contribute to a flourishing world.

“This ceremony is unique in that we're celebrating the start, not the end of something,” said DeMeo. “Donning the white coat signifies the beginning of your journey from student to osteopathic physician.”

Throughout his address, DeMeo challenged students to be mindful of three primary responsibilities that should guide them daily as osteopathic physicians – responsibility to themselves, their patients, and each other.

Responsibility to themselves:

“The white coat should orient you always towards a constant humbleness and willingness to learn,” said DeMeo. “The most dangerous physician is the one who doesn’t consider the possibility they could be wrong.”

He reminded students of the importance in recognizing that they’re part of a team and encouraged them to listen to their professors, the nurses, staff, and therapists that are caring for their patients alongside them as they are often the guides that can lead to making the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

“Medicine is no longer a one man or one woman show,” he said, “so be humble and be a constant learner.”

Responsibility to their patients:

“Wearing your white coat should constantly remind you of the duty to care for your patients with the utmost skill and compassion,” said DeMeo. He shared the story of a Campbell graduate he had the privilege of working with who truly embodies compassion – Dr. Kate Taylor, ‘17, a member of Campbell’s inaugural class.

Taylor was a fourth year medical student at the time. She admitted a patient, John*, for end-stage heart failure. He was homeless and had no real social support. He didn’t have anyone coming to visit him or even wondering where he was.

His health declined during his hospital stay and he was knew he was at the end of his life.

Dr. Taylor spent time every day during her lunch break after rounds sitting with John and getting to know him. She learned that he was a huge Carolina Panthers fan and how much joy it brought him, even while being stuck in a hospital bed, to watch the Panthers on Sundays. One afternoon Kate took time out of her day and called the NFL franchise and explained John’s story.

Two days later a package arrived at WakeMed from the Panthers. It was full of all the Panthers gear anyone could ever want, a personalized letter from Ron Rivera, and an autograph from Cam Newton. Dr. Taylor presented John with his surprise surrounded by every member of the nursing staff on that floor, and he began to weep. He couldn’t believe the extreme kindness and compassion that Taylor, as a fourth year medical student, had shown to him.

“That was really a wonderful day, not only for John, but also for all of us that were lucky enough to be there to witness it,” said DeMeo. “And I want you to find those moments to remember that you’re taking care of other human beings.”

Responsibility to each other:

“When you don the white coat, it’s important to have an understanding that you’re now part of a community of osteopathic physicians whose duty is also to look after the health and wellbeing of one another,” DeMeo remarked.

North Carolina native, Megan Rogers, MS-I, is from Henderson and graduated from NC State University.

Ashlyn Keidel, MS-I, is a UNCW graduate originally from Salisbury, MD. Her brother, Scotty Keidel, DO, '18, is a Campbell Medicine Alum.

He explained that wearing the white coat doesn’t somehow make students impervious to pain, injury or sadness, and that’s why it’s vital to take care of each other throughout journey from student to osteopathic physician. He encouraged students to always remember who they are and that they all have different personalities and talents, and that diversity is really the strength of the osteopathic profession.

support them from the very beginning is not something we take lightly.”

Dr. DeMeo concluded by saying, “I think the name that’s written on your white coat as you look down on it someday is less of an identification for our patients and more for you to remind yourself how far you’ve come, the challenges that you’ve overcome, and your duty to always try to do what’s right for your patients and care for one another.”

Throughout their journey, students are often reminded that medical school is a marathon, not a sprint, and Campbell Med students will tell you they are surrounded by support every step of the way. “We’re committed to helping our students not just survive medical school, but thrive in medical school,” said Jennifer Parrish, M.Ed., director of student affairs.

From the admissions process to orientation, from the first day of class to the first exam, and from receiving their white coats to all of the things that lie ahead, medical students at Campbell are on this journey the together, celebrating milestones – both big and small – all along the way.

The Journey to the White Coat

The journey to medical school, and the white coat, looks different for every student. It begins long before they even set foot on campus for an interview, and it continues for days, weeks, months, and years beyond that as they work toward their ultimate goal of becoming a physician.

“The first semester of medical school was a challenging yet rewarding experience,” said Andres Ainolhayat, MS-I from….

“I’ve had the opportunity to grow with an amazing group of people that motivate me every day. The first semester taught me to have confidence in my strengths as well develop different strategies for my weaknesses.

“It’s remarkable to see the growth and maturity of students from the beginning of their journey,” said Stephanie Goral, MA, director of admissions for the School of Medicine.

“Students arrive on an interview day – many with mixed emotions – not really knowing what to expect. The opportunity to welcome them into the Campbell family and

“We know the road ahead is long, but it was nice to celebrate a victory to remember why we’re all here,” he continued. “To me, the white coat is a symbol of honor - it represents how far I’ve come as well as the journey ahead. Being coated by my grandmother and mother was one of the best days of my life, I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”

Eight match for military medicine residency Eight members of the Class of 2020 matched into military residency programs where they will complete their medical training while serving their country.

C

ampbell Medicine is proud to have a strong military medicine legacy. The Class of 2020 boasts eight soon to be Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine graduates who will continue their medical training through the United States Military’s Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) bringing the school’s participant total to thirty-seven.

“Our inaugural class had ten HPSP graduates and two Tillman Scholars,” said interim dean Jim Powers. “We continue to average ten HPSP scholars per class, and we are so thankful and honored for their service to our country and their commitment to caring for the women and men of our armed forces,their families, and our veterans across the globe.”

The eight members of the Class of 2020 will join Campbell Medicine alumni training and providing medical care from Tripler Army Medicine Center in Hawaii to flight surgeons stationed with aircraft carriers in Virginia Beach in specialties ranging from dermatology to psychiatry.

Zachary Brooks matched into psychiatry and will join nine other Campbell Medicine alumni at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in July.

“Having grown up in an environment where I saw the dramatic difference that quality mental health care can make, I not only know what patients and their

families are going through, but I also believe in their ability to recover,” said Brooks.

“My background, volunteer experiences, research, and prior employment have all guided my interest in Psychiatry – I want to both improve access to quality mental healthcare and decrease the stigma for those seeking help. There is no group of people more deserving of high-quality 2LT Teea Bunker and Zach Brooks at Basic Officer health care than the men and Leader Course. women in our military. Being able to provide excellent care for those that is what my fellow Camels will who protect us is the noblest calling I surely provide.” can imagine.”

“I want to extend my congratulations to the members of the Class of 2020 who matched with the military,” said Jacob Gilbertson, president of Campbell’s Student Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (SAMOPS). “They have voluntarily taken the responsibility to support our sailors, soldiers, airmen and marines who sacrifice everything so that the citizens of this great nation can pursue their dreams. It is important that we have students who wish to be military physicians, so that the forces defending our freedom have skillful and reliable care to continue to respond to their duties in a timely fashion. Given the conditions many of our fighting forces operate in, our military needs exceptional medical attention, and

“SAMOPS serves as a body to aid every HPSP member at CUSOM in the process of becoming a military physician,” continued Gilbertson. “We lean on each other and discuss topics that only another student in the military would understand. I am very proud of the 8 who have matched from Campbell this year, and I appreciate their commitment to excellence and the sacrifices they themselves will make in their careers.

One team one fight.”

The military match participants will report to their respective military medical centers in July to continue their training upon graduating from Campbell University in May. - SARAH BOWMAN

Keeping the high blood sugar associated with diabetes under control helps to prevent complications. High blood sugars cause eye, kidney and nerve damage that can be very debilitating.

Poor control of blood sugars increase the risk of being hospitalized and can increase the need for more medications. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) counseling or classes help people with diabetes take better control of their condition, lowering sugar levels and reducing the risks of complications. Educational programs are usually covered by insurance, yet fewer than 7% of people with diabetes take advantage of them.
