We love being in the heart of downtown. Our student and staff volunteers had a blast during Open Streets ICT!   The courtyard was full of children chalking up the sidewalks surrounding our booths. Student clubs organized activities to engage community members, offering card-making activities for children in hospitals, CPR demonstrations, and blood pressure checks.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our inaugural Frontiers in Medical AI Summit yesterday. We’re proud to facilitate thought provoking dialogue about the future of #AI and how it is transforming both #medical #education and the practice of medicine. Together, with leading minds in medical and healthcare fields, we examined a range of important topics from the equitable and #ethical use of AI in higher education, to AI's impact on research, clinical work, and precision medicine, as well as how AI is helping to power personalized learning opportunities. We are committed to exploring ever-evolving technologies and their positive impact on the future of healthcare.

We're proud to be a part of The Community Solution Education System. Together, as a nonprofit system of colleges and universities we work collaboratively to transform the lives of students. Together, with his wife Jeannie Gutierrez, Ph.D., Michael Horowitz, Ph.D., chancellor for the System, created a #scholarship designed to support #first generation college students. Recently, Dr. Horowitz had the privilege of meeting student doctor, Alex Palacios, an honored recipient of the scholarship he created. Alex shared, “As a first-generation student and the oldest daughter to Peruvian immigrants, I have had my fair share of shortcomings financially within this path to medicine. I am truly grateful for the impact this scholarship has had … allowing me to be fully invested in my studies.” Thank you to Drs. Horowitz and Gutierrez for your support of the next generation of those who will change the world. To learn more about giving opportunities, including scholarships, visit: https://ow.ly/iq7O50TJk6k

Congratulations to the Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine student doctors who were made military officers today at their Commissioning Ceremony. They are three new recipients of the Health Professions Scholarship Program, which provides tuition coverage. They joined 15 other student doctors also receiving HPSP at our school.   Scholarships allow student doctors to pursue specialties and locations where they are most needed, without financial pressures guiding their choices. We’re honored to be part of their journey, empowering them to serve with purpose and impact.

More than 35 local non-profit agencies recently took part in Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine's Community Engagement Fair in an effort to recruit student doctors for volunteer opportunities. Community service is an essential part of the KansasCOM experience, exposing students to the social determinants of health and fostering empathy to positively impact patient care. #MedEd #communityservice #osteopathicmedicine
