2008 SDOMA Dues: If you are not on the meeting sign-in attendance sheet, you have not yet paid your 2008 SDOMA dues.
IMPORTANT - Watch for a new meeting location in April: Because of increasing costs and decreasing funding support, SDOMA will be changing the venue for our monthly meetings. We will strive for a central location (relatively the same area as we currently meet) with as easy access, as possible. We will inform you of the new location, as soon as arrangements are finalized.
Student looking for shadowing opportunity: I am applying to Osteopathic schools this year and I was hoping to shadow an osteopathic physician in my area (San Diego, CA) for the purposes of obtaining a letter of recommendation. My personal physician is a D.O. (Dr. Cunningham) but I don't want to change our doctor patient relationship so I would prefer to be referred to someone else in my area. Would you mind referring me to a D.O. in my area that would be willing to have me shadow them? Please contact Damaris Padin at damarispadin@yahoo.com or 619-708-2607.
DO speakers needed for 2008: If you can participate as a speaker for SDOMA, please contact Jim Cox at 619-579-2946. As many of you are aware, we need to have 50% of our monthly programs with Osteopathic physicians, as speakers, each year. We are also planning a more lengthy program for SDOMA, later in the year. If you have location, format or topic suggestions or preferences, please contact Jim Cox at 619-579-2946.
