Congratulations January’s Student DOs of the Month! Deke Barron and Bobby Lawrence!

Class of 2014: Deke Barron

Deke has made countless study questions for the Class of 2014. He takes a lot of time out of his own studying to provide these excellent and relevant questions to the rest of the class. In addition to all the study questions, Deke is always ready to help anyone struggling with the material. People are constantly stopping by his study room to ask for clarification or assistance and he is always prepared to help. Deke is very involved outside of class as well. He always at fundraisers and community service projects. Deke is an exceptional member of the Class of 2014 and we are all proud to have him in our class.

 

“Deke Barron represent our class and DCOM as a professional hard working asset and stands as an example to us all.”

 

Class of 2015: Bobby Lawrence

Bobby is an exemplary member of the Class of 2015. He is extremely involved in and out of the classroom. Bobby headed up the gift wrapping project for the Class of 2015 before break. This is one of multiple activities that Bobby is involved in. Who can forget his performance at Mr. DCOM?! He is also very helpful to others and liberally shares study guides. Bobby is a superb student and person.

 

“He exemplifies the best qualities of a physician, DO, and man through his kindness towards others and his selfless service to the school, community, and friends. He is always energetic, encouraging, and empathetic towards everyone he comes in contact with.”

 

Thank you Deke and Bobby!

Congratulations SDOM Recipients December 2011

Congratulations Sara Boyd and Jonathan Chen December’s Student DOs of the Month!

Class of 2014: Sara Boyd

Sara makes study guides for every lecture and distributes them to anyone in the class that would like them! Without her study guides many members of the class would be lost. In addition to all the study guides she makes she is always there to lend a helping hand for any fundraisers or other activities. Sara has been extremely helpful to the first years by being an OPP lab TA and always assisting with pre-exam reviews. The class of 2014 is extremely luckily to have Sara!

“She has tirelessly worked to send out complete, concise study guides which have helped aide my learning for exams greatly.”

“We know we would all be failing without Sara.”

“She does something special for her class mates… daily.”

Class of 2015: Jonathan Chen

Jonathan has been a huge asset to the class of 2015. He has taken time out of his studying to make sure others learn the material. During anatomy lab he uses his own lab time to point out the landmarks to anyone who asks. He even schedules time outside of lab to meet with his classmates. He does all this in a kind way and seems to truly care about other’s success. Jonathan is a valuable member of the class of 2015.

“He is humble about how much he knows and appears to only care about everyone’s success.”

“He is selfless, caring, and always shows humility.”

Thank you Sara and Jonathan for all you do! You deserve those parking spots!

Congrats SDOM Recipients November 2011

Congratulations ADAM BROWN and ROB GRESSER November’s Student DOs of the Month!

 

Class of 2014: Adam Brown

Adam has been a huge asset to both classes! Today he is taking time from studying for Renal to hold a biochemistry review for the first years. This is in addition to the time he took to make an awesome review power point for them over fall break. He is a great tutor and friend to people in both classes. Adam always takes time from his own studying to go over concepts with his classmates. He is the reason some students passed cardiology.  Adam does all this while making time for his daughter. Adam is what every DCOM student should strive to be.

 

Class of 2015: Rob Gresser

Since the beginning of the year, Rob has taken his time to help others. He has sent out multiple study guides and helped his classmates. Over fall break he went above and beyond when media site broke down. He  talked to IT countless times and kept the class informed so everyone could remain calm. Rob is still extremely involved in the class while having a family. The Class of 2015 is lucky to have Rob.

 

Thank you Adam and Rob for all you do! Enjoy your parking spots!

Congratulations Andrew Mathew and Tim Attride- October’s Student DOs of the Month!

Class of 2014: Andrew Mathew

Andrew has continued to show how dedicated he is to DCOM and the Class of 2014. For the White Coat BBQ he was the only person to volunteer to stay and help clean up. This dedication to the class and the new students is truly exceptional and appreciated by all in attendance. Over the past year he has contributed to his fellow students and always been there to give others the needed motivation to continue. Andrew has repeatedly gone above and beyond the expectations of a DCOM student.

 

“He signed up for the job that no one else wanted to do, and did it with a smile on his face.”

 

“We need more students with his kind of attitude at DCOM.”

 

Class of 2015: Tim Attride

Tim has contributed significantly to the Class of 2015. Despite having a long drive to school, he still comes everyday with a smile on his face and makes every effort to contribute. His study guides for MFM have been invaluable to the majority of the class. He is always at school early w ready to help anyone that approaches him. Tim has been very helpful to his class. DCOM is extremely lucky to have him.

 

“He’s a really good example about what dedication, motivation and what responsibility is all about.”

 

Thank you Tim and Andrew for all you do!!! Enjoy your parking spots they are deserved!

Congratulations Paul “Hutch” Swafford and Kiruba Sivagurunath September’s Student DOs of the Month!

 

Class of 2014: Paul “Hutch” Swafford

Hutch has been an invaluable resource to many students in the Class of 2014. He has held multiple study sessions. He was especially helpful in teaching fellow students EKGs. Despite having his own studies to attend to he took the time to hold review sessions. We are lucky to have Hutch at DCOM and thank him for all he has done!

 

“He conducted the sessions with pizzazz and patience.”

 

“…his outstanding willingness to help others during the first week of Cardio.”

 

Class of 2015: Kiruba Sivagurunath

Kiruba has been extremely helpful to the Class of 2015 by providing them multiple study guides and review sessions for MFM. He has taken hours from his own time to assist other students and help them get through this difficult subject. Kiruba is always available to answer questions and provides his study guides to everyone in the class. He has been a great asset to the Class of 2015!

 

“He is awesome and always has a friendly deposition.”

 

“He helped to give us the bigger picture of what was going on so that we could concentrate on the details”

 

Thank you Hutch and Kiruba for all you have done!

Please remember to leave the “reserved” parking spots vacant for the SDOMs!

MGA Model Review Slides [UPDATED]

Posted on August 31, 2011 by adamtarrence

Hey 2015,

Katie Clark has graciously provided some PowerPoint slides she made last year to help with reviewing the anatomy models without having to go into the lab. I’ve attached them below. Although these might not replace time spent actually handling the models in the lab, they are a great tool for quick review before an exam. Enjoy and good luck!

P.S. The files are a little large and may take a while to download.

UPDATE: Katie has provided a third set of slides which I’ve attached below. From now on, I’ll just keep posting her slides below as they become available.

Congrats SDOM Recipients August 2011

Posted on August 10, 2011 by adamtarrence

This year we will be awarding two students every month. One from the Class of 2014, one from the Class of 2015.

Class of 2014: TD Williams
TD has continued to go above and beyond this year. He holds EKG reviews, ACLS classes, leads study groups and is always around to lend a helping hand. Despite living in Knoxville and having a family he still always makes it to class and group meetings. TD’s experience as a flight medic has made him an invaluable resource to the Class of 2014. He is not only a great student and teacher but he is also a great person.
“He is a great role model for the rest of us, and as future doctors we should aspire to be a little more like him.”
“During his time at DCOM he has impacted nearly every member of the class through his many endeavors.”

Class of 2015: Zachary Tomlinson
Zachary was a post-bac student last year. He was always helpful to the Class of 2014 in anatomy lab. Now, as a first year Zachary is continuing to help his fellow students. He has gone above and beyond to counsel and lead the new post-bac class and the Class of 2015. He took time from his own schedule to set up review sessions for the new class. Zachary is a great asset to the school; we are all excited and lucky to have him as a member of the Class of 2015!
“I would just like to say how impressed I am with his support and help.”

Congratulations again to two well-deserving students!
