Currently, our chapter of SAMOPS has developed custom trauma kits with hemostatic gauze, tourniquets and other medical supplies to provide to VCOM-Auburn students. We hope that these kits will prepare our classmates if they are ever faced with unforeseen emergencies. Future endeavors include working with the Auburn Veterans Resource Center to provide a better transition into civilian life after military service and donating to military non-profit organizations. The calling to join the military should not be taken lightly. The armed forces of the United States serve the purpose of being a beacon of world peace. The students at VCOM-Auburn that have decided to dedicate a portion of their life to the military do so with dignity, compassion and gratitude. I am truly honored to be a member of the United States Navy and a member of SAMOPS at VCOM-Auburn. Each of our members are not only diligent students, but are also highly involved in the community around us. I know that the members of SAMOPS will continue making VCOM proud, even after graduation. They will not only strive to uphold VCOM’s mission, but also the missions of their respective service branches. As the current president of SAMOPS, I am grateful to have the pleasure of belonging to a group of like-minded individuals working towards the same goal: successfully serving our country in addition to our future patients. ■ » VCOM students value professionalism, integrity, duty, compassion, altruism, knowledge and critical thinking.
