DCOMDO

Congratulations to April’s SDOMs Patricia Goodwin and Bill Lorson!

Class of 2015: Patricia Goodwin

She has been actively involved in SOMA and has worked hard to plan DO day on Capitol Hill. She is always available when I need help with anything – be it club or academia related. She’s a valuable asset to our school and I’m proud to have her as a friend and colleague.

“Patricia Goodwin has represented our school at multiple national conventions, served on numerous committees, and as an officer of multiple clubs. Recently, she planned the DO day of the Hill event for LMU-DCOM. She has been a great asset to LMU-DCOM and has been extremely helpful to her classmates this year with numerous study outlines.”

Class of 2016: Bill Lorson

He is an outstanding medical student that goes above and beyond to help all the students in the class. He is involved outside of school with the local Fire Department, which is a huge commitment. He is able to balance both school and outside activities. He also has a great sense of humor. You can always go to Bill when you’re having an off day and he is guaranteed to make you smile.

“Bill Lorson is the ideal leader of our Pharmacology study groups due to his extensive nursing background and Masters degree in physiology. He is always so reassuring when everyone else begins to feel overwhelmed. Even with our study load, he finds time to benefit our community by volunteering for the Cumberland Gap Fire Department and has currently has logged over 100 volunteer hours there.”

Thanks to both of you for your continued commitment to DCOM and your classmates! It is recognized by your peers and very much appreciated!

Congrats!

Congratulations to March’s SDOMs Danielle Harrell and Dru Morgan!

Class of 2015: Danielle Harrell

Danielle is very involved with DCOM, both in and outside of class activities. She holds multiple offices in busy clubs and continually goes out of her way to help many of our class members.

She tutors the class below us and is actively involved in the local community. She always succeeds in being a role model for other students here at DCOM, and not to mention, she is a fantastic ski buddy!

“She has been a great representative of DCOM both on a local and national level. She has continually helped out her fellow students and stayed involved in numerous extracurricular activities.”

“Danielle does a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ things that not many people know about. I think it is time she knows that others notice!”

Class of 2016: Dru Morgan

From the beginning, Dru has been extremely helpful to his classmates. He has been involved in many aspects of DCOM including SOMA, Doggy Dash, and is on the student IT committee. He has always stood out among his classmates as helpful, involved, pleasant, and professional. He continuously shows care and concern for his classmates and helps them out in many many ways!

“Dru is always in class, giving tips, and making/posting helpful reviews on Facebook. He’s also pleasant and fun to be around. He’s an exemplary student, and I think he’ll make a great DO!”

Thanks to both of you for your continued commitment to DCOM and your classmates! It is recognized by your peers and very much appreciated!

Congrats!

Congratulations to February’s SDOMs Kristin Goshorn and Justin Lukasik!

Class of 2015: Kristin Goshorn

Kristin has been an invaluable member of the class of 2015. She continuously makes study guides for our classes and is constantly sharing them with others. Her study guides are extremely useful to the entire class, and they are very appreciated! The class of 2015 has definitely benefited from her unselfish assistance!

“She is always willing to help others out by sending out her study guides which have proven to be extremely helpful. Not only that, but she is always so kind and energetic around others. She truly cares for others and is a great reminder of keeping our ultimate goal in sight.”

Class of 2016: Justin Lukasik

Justin has been a great asset to his class. He has helped many people by tutoring and devoting his own time to assist others with learning the material. He continues to remain patient with his tutor group and gives up much of his study time to help his classmates.

“He was kind and patient towards everyone in our tutoring group, and his knowledge was second only to the professors. I think that Justin embodies everything that a DCOM student should be.

Thanks to both of you for your continued commitment to DCOM and your classmates! It is recognized by your peers and very much appreciated!

Congrats to you both!

Congratulations to December’s SDOMs James McKenzie and Jackie Urquiola!

Class of 2015: James McKenzie

James is an all-around great guy who always has a great, positive attitude. Although this semester has been stressful for everyone, he has taken time out of his schedule to help his classmates better understand the material. He has held several review sessions for Behavioral Med and is always willing to help others out. He is a pivotal part of the Neuro/Psych Club and has worked extremely hard to ensure a successful semester for the club. Thank you, James for your hard work and optimistic attitude that you bring to our class!

“He always makes time to help people out even if it gets in the way of him studying.”

Class of 2016: Jackie Urquiola

Jackie has continuously made reviews for the class in several subjects and is always willing to put forth the effort to help out a fellow classmate. She has been a continuous motivator throughout the entire semester, which helps her classmates when they feel bogged down with the med school stress. She has volunteered and been involved in several different activities this semester such as representing DCOM at AOA, representing the OMS-Is in SOMA and also volunteering at events like the fall festival. She continues to balance school and extracurricular involvement and is a great example for others!

“Jackie is a model student because she always has her priorities in line and motivates anyone that is having down thoughts.”

Congrats to you both!
