Microbiology Club Overview

by at

The Microbiology Club is a student-run organization that introduces Microbiology students to the potential behind future careers that are related to microbiology. Presenters from different companies that are currently looking to hire OSU Microbiology students come and talk to club members during some of the meetings and members are given opportunities to visit a wine brewery and the Riverside Hospital Lab Testing area.

As I was unable to be too active in the club for the 2018-2019 school year due to obligations with other organizations, I decided not to remain a member of the club for the 2019-2020 school year.

FPOT

by at

FPOT stands for Future Physicians of Tomorrow. This is a student-led organization that is particularly aimed at Pre-Medicine students. At all the meetings, there is a physician, medical student, or person from the OSU College of Medicine Admission Board that shares information about their medical journey, their personal experiences at work and their studies, things that they wish they would have done differently when they were undergraduates, their ideas about burnout, and what their daily lives are like. Occasionally, volunteering opportunities with the Red Cross is offered and if a club meeting was going to be missed by a member, an email with the reason for missing the meeting needs to be provided to one of the board members.

Purpose Statement: “Medical school before medical school. The Future Physicians of Tomorrow strives to provide an in-depth and ‘hands-on’ approach to preparing for medical school. Students and members of The Future Physicians of Tomorrow will have opportunities and access to exclusive resources that undergraduate “pre-med” students do not typically have. These students will physically interact with doctors, medical students, and healthcare professionals with the superior opportunity to learn and grow at an early phase of their academic career. This organization is specialized, members will have the most elite tools at their disposal as they embark on their journey to becoming physicians. As members participate in this organization they will become more motivated and passionate about their roles as students and future doctors. This organization will serve as a reminder as to why these pre-med students choose to enter the field of medicine. Our goal is to draw out the love and motivation that these students share for their future careers as physicians. These students will pave the way for the next generation of physicians, creating more caring, passionate, intelligent, and well-rounded doctors, to improve the future of healthcare.” (Can be found at: https://activities.osu.edu/involvement/student_organizations/find_a_student_org/?i=569b4309-66b4-4414-891b-b5f70510cfd6&l=F&c=Columbus&page=4)
