5 From September 29 - October 6, VCOM-Auburn embarked on a week-long medical outreach trip to Tegucigalpa, Honduras . Second- year medical students, faculty, staff, preceptors and volunteers served close to 500 patients at rural sites.

6 The VCOM-Auburn chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) hosted its annual Melting Pot . Attendees were asked to offer a favorite dish from their culture. A diverse panel of physicians spoke about their experiences before and after medical school. This event was a great display of the diverse cultural backgrounds at VCOM-Auburn.

7 It was easy to see and hear the excitement as friends and family watched their loved ones walk across the stage to receive their white coats on Sunday, October 20. These students will represent VCOM well as they continue their journey toward becoming osteopathic physicians. Congratulations class of 2022!

8 Students offered a Day of Service to benefit the Auburn/ Opelika community. As part of the day’s events, students conducted volunteer efforts at the Food Bank of East Alabama. In less than two hours, 3,198 lbs. of food donations were sorted into boxes for distribution! Other volunteer efforts included a blood drive, gifts and visitation at a local nursing home, efforts to assist shelter animals, and volunteering with children at the Boys & Girls Club.
