WELCOME BOXES FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS This past year the NWOOF created a welcome box pro-gram for medical students doing rotations in Enid. The boxes include a welcome let-ter, water bottle with a built in speaker, snack items, novelty pen and a small notebook. Additionally the box includes a free pass to use the Y while

they are in town at no cost to the student. If you have a stu-dent doing a rotation with you, let Anita know and she will deliver a box or boxes to your office. The Foundation hopes to expand these boxes in the future to include event tickets, restaurant coupons, etc.

The Oklahoma Osteopath-ic Association inducted Enid Physician and NOOF Board Member Chris Shearer, D.O. as the 2018-2019 president on April 28 at its 118th Annual Convention at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma. (even Pistol Pete was on hand for the festivities) During his inaugural ad-dress, which was met with a standing ovation, Dr. Shear-er reinforced the conven-tion’s “Syngery” theme by calling on the association’s members to build on their

past, collaborate with their fellow members and help guide future talent in school and residency programs. At-tracting and engaging young members and continued legislative advocacy were major points of focus during his term as President. Dr. Shearer’s presidency is coming to an end this month. We thank him for his service to the OOA and for representing NW Okla-homa with such strong lead-ership and professionalism.

In 2018 NW Oklahoma Os-teopathic Foundation awarded five, $1000 scholarships and two $500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors in NW Oklahoma who have expressed a desire for a career in medicine and demonstrated leadership, commitment, and a love of community during their time in high school. 2018 Scholarship recipi-ents were: Julie Owen-Alva High School, Tatum Rouse-Murphy-Alva HS, Katherine Cockreham-Woodward HS, Treyla Bence-Woodward HS, Montell Meyer-Oklahoma Bible Academy, Kyla Littleton-Canton HS and Luis Villa-Buffalo HS. In addition to

the financial scholarship, these students will also participate in the NW Oklahoma Osteo-pathic Foundation’s mentor-ing program designed to help students interested in a career in medicine achieve their dream. Applications are reviewed by the Grants/Scholarship com-mittee and ranked according to academic accomplishments, extra-curricular activities, and demonstrated enthusiasm for the field of medicine.In addition to the scholarship awards, the students are eli-gible to participate in a men-torship program, designed to identify students interested in a career in medicine and help

guide them down the path of becoming a physician by of-fering job shadowing oppor-tunities, networking events, MCAT exam assistance and application to medical school. It’s our goal, by develop-ing relationships with these students, to have a positive impact on their professional development. Then perhaps, when it’s time to begin their career, they might consider returning to NW Oklahoma. The 2019 scholarship recipients were selected at the April 9th, 2019 Foundation Board Meeting and will be introduced to the Board in July. The 2019 scholarship re-cipients, each receiving $1000

are: Landry Gaddy-Alva High School, Jillian Bouse-Wood-ward, Chloe Hendrich-Turpin High School, Briley Yunker-Chisholm High School, Daniel Cho-Enid High, and Traber Smithson-OBA.

Dept. Store. The building sat vacant for decades, then was home to a furniture store After the departure of the furniture business, CDSA purchased the building and raised several million dol-lars to create the Non-Profit Center.

WE’VE MOVED

NOOF sponsored two OSU-COM students to attend DO day at the capitol in Washing-ton DC, where they met with Oklahoma

Legislators about healthcare policy and the importance of graduate medical school funding. Stu-dent Dalton Delaney described the experi-

ence on social media this way: “It was an amazing experience getting to sit at the table and discuss policy with some of the most influential

people in the nation. Definitely a bucket list experience, but there’s always more to do.”
