Introduction: Securing clinical training sites remains a challenge for medical educators who often resort to paying preceptors or searching for new clinical training sites which haven’t traditionally taken students. We describe a unique partnership between the Boy Scouts of America and PCOM, providing a clinical training opportunity for OMS4 students at PCOM: Outdoor Clinical rotation the Summit Bechtel Family National Boy Scout Reserve in rural West Virginia at the National Scout jamboree, serving 35,000 scouts.
Methods and Curricular Design: By the end of the rotation, each PCOM student was able to (1) provide urgent care for common outdoor injuries: …

Endovascular Intervention And Management Of Pediatric Mandibular Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report, Craig Schreiber, Hamza Shaikh
Research Day
Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible are a rare and potentially life threatening entity. Exsanguination from these lesions is a well documented event. Management of these lesions is unfortunately unclear and unstandardized due to their rare occurrence. Their presentation is wide and varied ranging from complaints of a loose tooth to acute hemorrhage and shock. Currently a multidisciplinary approach that typically involves input from oral maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS), otolaryngologists, and endovascular neurointerventionalists is required to manage these lesions. Often these lesions require both endovascular intervention and surgical resection. Due to the lesions high rate of recurrence and proximity to vital structures, …

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Between 1994 and 2013, the International Disaster Database recorded 6,873 natural disasters worldwide, which claimed 1.35 million lives or almost 68,000 lives on average each year. In addition, an average of 218 million people were affected by natural disasters per year during this 20-year period (Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, 2015). All disasters have the potential to affect psychological health (U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, 2016) and children are especially vulnerable. The purpose of this review of literature was to answer the question, “How do children and adolescents who have survived a form of severe natural disaster …
