If you are pregnant, please help the COM with their “Examining the Pregnant Patient” lab from 12:45pm – 2:45pm on March 19th, 20th and/or 2:45pm – 4:45pm on March 26th in Lander Hall 212! It gives the second year students a chance to feel pregnant bellies. No internal exams of private parts, just getting some medical history, measuring fundal height, listening to heart tones, and maybe some ultrasound. Feel free to tell a friend!

We're "thanking" our volunteers with $100 Target gift card for each day you participate.

Please contact Jessica Gordon at [email protected] with any questions.

This clip highlights the need for doulas who support VBAC and help families heal from previous birth trauma. It also highlights the need for doulas of color and the need for improvement in pregnancy care for people of color. Take a look.

Would you like to help educate our osteopathic medical students about helping women who are pregnant? We have Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) lab sessions next week in which we spend the first hour with pregnant women sharing their experience and having a brief, non-invasive examination and a chance for a demonstration of osteopathic treatment.

Please consider joining us on Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday morning. A gift card for participation is available. Please see the attached flier. Feel free to call me for more details at 707-638-5207. Women have reported enjoying their experience in our Osteopathic Doctoring labs, and we look forward to the OMM labs next week. Invite a friend!
