Congrats SDOM Recipients October 2011

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!

Congrats SDOM Recipients September 2011

 

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]

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

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!

Welcome Class of 2015 (UPDATED)

On behalf of the entire SGA, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the incoming class of 2015. We hope you enjoy your orientation week and are looking forward to our Q&A session and group tours with you all later in the week.

I just want to point out a few things that may be of use to you in the very near future. First, take a look at the very top of this page and you should see several links to frequently-used sites. A lot of students simply bookmark DCOMDO and use it to get to the rest of these sites. Next, on the right, you should see some expandable links for OMS I, OMS II, etc. These links will drill down by year and class name and will take you directly to study materials that others have posted. Finally, if you look under the big banner at the top of the page you should see a “Classifieds” link. This is a good place to look if you are needing a used book or something, so just keep it in mind.

DCOMDO.COM is intended to be used by everyone in some way or another. Whether you’re trying to buy some used books, checking the time for your next club meeting, or looking to share a study guide with the class, you’ll find what you need on this site. And if you don’t, just email me at support@dcomdo.com and I’ll try to help you out.

Good luck in your first semester,

Adam Tarrence OMS II
