Biological Chemistry Student Organization

Mission Statement
Our organization brings together students within the Biochemistry, Cellular, and Molecular Biology (BCMB) Graduate Program for socializing, professional development, and community service activities. Graduate school can be an extremely stressful time, and by building a strong community of students within the program and organizing events for students to get together and share experiences, we provide students with a way to surmount those difficulties. In addition to social aspects, we provide space for graduate students to practice skills such as poster presentations, journal club presentations, Oral Qualifying Exams, etc. We also offer events where students can give back to the community and serve Galveston as a whole, celebrating and serving the place supporting during this critical phase of our academic careers.

Hosting Donation Drives/Volunteering: Participating in and hosting toys/food/etc. Drives on campus allow us to give back to the community, supporting us during our graduate careers. In addition, in a field filled with stress, it is easy to lose perspective, and by refocusing our efforts to help those in need, we can better regain our perspective and see our struggles from a more global aspect.
Tabling Booths at events: This is a chance to raise our awareness and profile to the rest of the UTMB community. As a part of a health professional's school, we are often overlooked or poorly understood by the rest of the UTMB community. These outlets allow us to share our stories and experiences with the greater UTMB campus and form professional and social connections with other programs.
Hosting/Attending Guest Speaker Events: As Principal Investigators, our careers will involve planning and hosting guest speaker events, and yet as students, we have no opportunities to develop these skills. The Pioneering Biological Discovery Series allows our members to put together a full student-organized seminar and interact with some of the biggest names in our respective fields. Hosting and interacting with these speakers less formally and in an all-student event is a significant first step to building networks and connections that can aid us in the next stages of our future careers. These relationships often foster collaborations and are a chance to meet potential External Dissertation Committee members.
Hosting Presentation and Practice Sessions: A significant aspect of our careers as researchers is presenting our projects and data, and yet there are few opportunities to hone his skill. A substantial part of BCSO is hosting student practice sections for the Oral Qualifications Exams. This allows students to practice the timing and pacing of their presentations and learn how to deal with people interrupting and asking questions about their projects. Often the mentors who will sit on these Exams have students who attend the practices and, as a result, have a good appreciation for the types of things and questions their mentor may ask. We also host and organize events for students to practice poster presentations in a less formal setting. For many, this is the first time presenting a poster, and without these practices, they would have no idea what to expect at their first conference presentations.

Speed-dating Events: These events introduce students to various specialties. We invite physicians from less familiar specialties to share their journeys as first-generation doctors. Additionally, these physicians teach students practical skills, such as suturing and intubation. This initiative bridges the networking gap for first-generation students, allowing them exposure to, and encouragement towards, specialized fields.
Collaborative Service Events: We partner with other volunteer-based student organizations to serve the Galveston community. Recognizing that many existing volunteer groups are already active, our goal is collaboration, promoting active service among our members. As first-generation students, we owe much to our communities, and this initiative allows us to give back to the Galveston community we now call home.
Monthly/Biweekly Service Opportunities at UTMB Hospital (Coffee Cart): On a regular schedule, students will visit different units within the UTMB Hospital campuses, offering coffee, tea, and books. This not only brightens the day for patients who might lack regular visitors but also helps students familiarize themselves with the hospital layout. Serving within healthcare settings like this prepares students for a more empathetic approach to their future medical careers.
Socials: These events range from study sessions and cafe breaks to movie nights. The primary aim is to foster bonds within the first-generation student community. By doing so, we hope to alleviate feelings of imposter syndrome that may plague some students.
Intro-to-didactic Classes: Prior to each M1 course (GAR, MCT, PHD, NHB), upperclassmen will offer advice, resources, and support to incoming M1s. This ensures that our members are adequately prepared for each course, with experienced students playing an active mentoring role.
Mentorship Events: Central to our organization's mission, these events aim to connect mentors and mentees, offering them a dedicated space to interact and bond.
Holiday Party: Held around Halloween or Christmas, this party offers food, activities, and door-prizes for members. Additionally, we'll organize a drive to benefit a specific Galveston organization.
Workshops: Covering a range of topics from faculty panels and financial aid to clinical rotations, these workshops equip students with knowledge outside of their regular coursework. The primary goal is to ensure students have all the tools they need to succeed.

We have liaison and ambassadors from the various programs at UTMB who lead these events.
Frontera de Salud offers a wide variety of opportunities to volunteer. Some of these opportunities include local vaccine clinics, health fairs, weekly garden harvesting and maintenance at Holland House, monthly Coastal Pals activities at Holland House, and an annual medical mission trip to Presidio County.
These activities are important to fulfilling the Frontera de Salud mission which is to identify and address community healthcare needs of the local under-served community while providing students additional competencies in primary healthcare settings and exposing students to the most under-served and disadvantaged communities in order to engender empathy, compassion, and a commitment to service.
Frontera de Salud offers students opportunities in research and scholarship to showcase our various projects to the UTMB and greater Galveston communities. Some of our presentations have focused on our work along the border, the garden beds we built at Holland House and funded by the President's Cabinet Award, and the Coastal Pals program which offers companionship to the various residents at Holland House.
Our engagement in research and scholarship is important to developing the professional skills of our students and showcasing the many ways we are impacting our Galveston community and beyond.
Frontera de Salud encourages students to further develop their Spanish skills at IPE Spanish workshops held in collaboration with QQD, COTAD, and LMSA. These workshops focus on language in the clinical setting and are geared to allow learners of all levels to practice and expand their knowledge. While speaking Spanish is not a requirement to join our organization, it is a useful skill to have for our annual medical mission trip along the border.

The workshop provides an engaging, unique, hands-on curriculum focusing on different healthcare skills and topics. Curriculum workshops will be held during the weekday as an after-school event, and each session will consist of a group of medical student mentors, health educators, and high school students. The primary objective of these workshops is for current medical students to introduce high school students to the healthcare field, deepen their understanding of health science in the context of public health, and understand public health through the lens of community needs. Through these workshops, medical student mentors and healthcare professionals can share their commitment and inspiration with high school students who will develop their own ideas, perspectives, and insights about the healthcare field.

Mission Statement
The Opioid Preparedness Initiative (OPI) is a student-led organization dedicated to addressing the critical need for opioid preparedness in our local community. Our mission is to empower businesses and the general public with the knowledge and tools necessary to respond effectively to opioid overdoses. We aim to educate business staff on the identification of an overdose, appropriate response measures, the proper use of Narcan, and provide Narcan rescue kits. OPI will extend its impact beyond businesses by setting up educational stations at community festivals to foster community-wide outreach.

1. Volunteer-Based Response:OPI seeks to establish a volunteer-based response program that actively engages UTMB students in providing Narcan rescue kits to local businesses. Our goal is to equip businesses, especially those at high-risk locations such as bars, with the resources they need to respond promptly to opioid overdoses. We aim to educate business staff on the identificationof an overdose, appropriate response measures, and the proper use of Narcan. UTMB students, passionate about community health, will serve as educators, delivering comprehensive training sessions that cover the science behind Narcan, its safe administration, and the absence of risks associated with administering it to non-overdosing individuals.
2. High-Risk Locations Focus:Recognizing the specific challenges faced by businesses in high-risk locations, OPI will prioritize outreach efforts to bars and similar establishments. By fostering partnerships with local businesses, we aim to create safer environments and reduce the impact of opioid overdoses in our community.
3. Community Festivals and Public Outreach:OPI will extend its impact beyond businesses by setting up educational stations at community festivals. Here, we will engage with the general public, offering information on opioid preparedness, distributing educational materials, and fostering a community-wide understanding of the importance of being prepared to respond to opioid overdoses.
4. Creating Educational Materials:OPI intends to develop a set of informative posters designed to facilitate Narcan training sessions for the general public. The educational posters and presentation would be approved by our Faculty Advisor. We would require prior club member training before students are allowed to present to businesses or volunteer at festivals.

Regular fundraisers are vital to the longevity and success of the student-run clinic at St. V's. Funds raised are directly allotted to equipment needs and repairs, as well as towards donated items for individualized patient needs (i.e. providing shoe inserts for free to patients who do not have adequate funding). Money raised rolls over to the SPT members of the next graduating class.
Volunteering is the priority of our organization. Providing pro-bono services to patients in need gives mutual benefit to both the providers and patients. SPTs are able to apply and hone their skills learned through curriculum while giving back to members of the Galveston community and beyond.
