The OB/GYN club is an interest club for the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The club has held annual meetings with Dr. Langaker where she explains all the details of the field. Our annual fundraising event for the club is the birthing stimulation, were we are able to use the birthing SIM and run through a typical labor and delivery. The club has also been able to help out with event for CUSOM, including Hump Day and accepted students days.

HOW DOES THE OB/GYN CLUB SUPPORT THE STUDENT BODY?

The club helps support the student body by providing various ways to gather interest in the field through workshops and informational meeting. Club members have various opportunities to volunteer for outreach educational events for the community as well.

HOW IS CAMPBELL’S OB/GYN CLUB INVOLVED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL?

CUSOM's OB/GYN club has sent members to the annual ACOOG meetings, where we were able take part in informational and educational meeting about the field. We were also able to provide out input for the future student interest organization ACOOG has.

WHAT ARE SOME OB/GYN INITIATIVES AND EVENTS WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO?

Hopefully, next year all of the normal events (in light of the COVID-19 situation) will be provided, along with new events started this year including the organization of the hygiene kits and assembling a group for the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure.

OB/GYN Special Community Project - Personal Hygiene Kits

Members of the Ob/Gyn Club at Campbell University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine came together to assemble 1000 hygiene kits for the middle school girls of Harnett County this January. The kits contain various feminine hygiene products, along with an informational pamphlet about puberty, the products, and how to use them. The pamphlets are also translated into Spanish for better outreach and understanding. The club hopes these kits can be useful to the girls, along with providing them confidence and comfort when it is most needed.
