Rein in Sarcoma began the sarcoma scholars

The sarcoma scholars have been a cornerstone of our educational efforts. The scholars work to educate the other students and the public during their “scholarship year”. Perhaps more importantly, they carry the information about sarcoma down through the years as they practice medicine to fellow doctors and to patients presenting with symptoms. 

The scholars are involved in the following educational opportunities:

  • The scholars work to educate the other students and the public during their “scholarship year”.
  • They attend the regular Thursday morning meetings of the University of MN Sarcoma Team.
  • Arrange and publicize a lunch lectures or dinner on Sarcoma for second year medical students at the University of Minnesota Medical School, the University Of Minnesota Duluth Medial School and the Mayo Clinic Medical School.
  • Help Dr. Dusenbery put on the “Mini-Medical School” on Sarcoma.
  • They are given a chance to participate in research with U of M Sarcoma Researchers.
  • Act as hosts for RIS Donor Dinners and the annual RIS Fall Fund Raiser.
  • They help with some RIS projects such as donor dinners and gatherings in order to meet and interact with Sarcoma Patients and Survivors.
  • They are invited to submit other ways to educate the medical community and the public about sarcoma. They work with the Red Flags of Sarcoma Committee of RIS to implement these projects.

Scholarly writing and CV building opportunity

Dr. Ted O’Connell, medical director at the Kaiser Napa-Solano Family Medicine Residency Program and author of USMLE Secrets and the Crush series of board review books, has a scholarly writing and CV building opportunity he’d like to share with you. He is helping to develop board review questions for a free USMLE Step 1 question bank. 

He is already working with dozens of students on this and is looking to broadcast the initiative more broadly.

He is looking for first through fourth year students, particularly those with an interest in writing and academic medicine, though anyone interested is welcome.

As students, you are welcome to participate at any level of involvement you like as there is not a minimum time commitment nor a minimum number of questions. You will receive recognition online for writing even a single question, though if you write 10 questions or more you will be identified as "Founding Contributors" to this free question bank. The development of this question bank will be a rolling project, so there is no deadline or end date at this point.

This project is an opportunity for you to add a scholarly activity to your CV while learning to write USMLE-style questions, and hopefully solidifying your medical knowledge in the process. The project can also lead to other writing opportunities for those who are interested. As this question bank will be completely free for all students to use, he does not have a budget to provide students with financial compensation for work done. 

If you are interested, please contact Dr. O’Connell directly.
