January Mental Health Awareness Presented by the Community Service Committee

Mental health has traditionally been a taboo topic for several years, particularly in black and brown communities. Seeking outside resources to manage your mental wellbeing was an admission of weakness and that something truly was wrong with you. However, Millennials and Generation Z having a better understanding of the importance of mental health, and celebrities being vocal about their personal struggles has created a culture where the words “depressed” “anxious” and “suicidal” can be used without shame. Half of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24; and the average delay between the onset of symptoms and treatment is 11 years.

To read more, check out the Community Service Webpage!

If your chapter is participating in any events to bring awareness, we would love to hear from you! Please send any photos and/or experiences related to Mental Health awareness to [email protected].

University of Washington Clerkship LabM 680 Clinical Laboratory Testing Distance Learning – Methods and Interpretation This clerkship provides medical students an opportunity to develop their diagnostic and patient management skills through directed distance learning in the hospital-based clinical laboratory. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinical laboratory response has been dynamic. Laboratory Medicine resident service work, conferences, and didactics have shifted to a predominately remote-access paradigm. This represents a unique opportunity to participate in similar, clinical activities with some additional guidance. The student will directly observe faculty-level review of test results (“sign-out”) or rounds and complete both guided and independent study; this involves small group sessions, journal article reading, live and recorded didactics. The goal of the schedule is to give students a glimpse of multiple laboratories and the breadth of testing performed in the Department. Special focus may include how the clinical laboratories have mobilized in response to an urgent pandemic threat, and whether this response is generalizable or unique to UW Laboratories. Path 682 Diagnostic Pathology Distance Learning This clerkship provides historically underrepresented medical students an opportunity to improve on gross and microscopic diagnosis, to experience what it is like to be a resident at UW, to combine clinical knowledge and experience with pathology and apply the best patient care. Medical students participating in this course will be paired with a resident and/or faculty mentor in their field of interest to serve as a source of information and guidance. Clerkships are four weeks in duration and are available to full-time third and fourth-year students who are in good standing at LCME-accredited U.S. medical schools. Upon completion of the clerkship, successful participants may be invited to interview for the University of Washington Anatomic & Clinical Pathology Residency Program.
