You guys need to get a load of this. Apparently BCOM just sent out the following email to not only their accepted students but everyone on the waitlist as well, on April Fool's Day! I'm not sure why I got it since I withdrew a while ago but mother of God someone is getting fired.
Putting the finishing touches on the BCOM building!

Student Proposes Pipeline Program
BCOM has committed $500,000 annually toward NMSU’s undergraduate scholarship programs. This “pipeline” endeavor is aimed at recruiting underserved students who wish to pursue health science careers.
Incoming BCOM student Daniel Sulitzer (Happy Valley, OR) proposed the following community outreach program for making an impact on our community.
Health Start: Making Healthier Life Choices
The mission of Health Start is to serve the youth of our community by building personal relationships with local elementary students through academic and extra-curricular activities designed to promote a healthy lifestyle, life skills, and personal growth.
Health Start is a one-on-one mentoring program created to encourage BCOM students to reach out to the local community in order to steer our youth towards a healthier pathway to adulthood while also helping them manage their academic rigors. BCOM students will act as role models for their elementary students by providing positive reinforcement to promote optimistic life goals as well as offer extra personalized help for classroom work.
The fact that all members of Health Start went to college and are now in medical school makes a college education and a career path more tangible for all mentees and places it on their horizon of achievable goals.

Tips for surviving medical school by Francisco Laboy III, DO, Assistant Professor, Department of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)
- Read something for fun: The shear amount of reading you will be doing during medical school is staggering, and you may find yourself avoiding any recreational reading. Yet unpressured reading and learning enriches one’s life.
- Discover a hobby that requires minimal energy not just exercise: Your time obligations will be many, and “free time” will need to be rationed. Having another outlet is necessary for your mental health during medical school.
- Sleep: I don’t think I need to explain this one.
- Write a list of the characteristics that you like about yourself: The stress of medical school can certainly change your personality if you let it. Referring periodically to a list of traits that you like about yourself can keep you grounded and help you to remember why you decided to go to medical school.
- Spend time with your family and friends: The time you spend learning your craft, though ultimately for the greater good of society, can put extreme strain on your support system. Foster these relationships while you can, because they will aid you in achieving your goal of becoming a competent and compassionate human being and physician.
