Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine Students Raise More than $7,000 for Men’s Health

 

Despite many of the usual KPCOM fall events being postponed, the KPCOM students at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie and Tampa Bay Regional campuses creatively managed to still hold the annual, monthlong “Movember” campaign that advocates for men’s health. Movember took on a different form this year with its main advocacy being through social media efforts. This year’s hashtag NSUDOsforMOs and the familiar Zoom platform further helped to illustrate what both campuses have been doing.

The use of infographics, philanthropic contests, and being able to pie various faculty members, SGA officials, and students, was viewed online and raised hundreds of dollars for the cause. In total, more than $7,000 was raised for the campaign—only $2,000 shy of last year’s efforts—with the goal of making Movember 2021 its most successful yet.
