IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR NEW LOCATION: Orcutt Administration Building is located at 4511 Orcutt Avenue, San Diego, 92120. (Mapquest gives incorrect directions.) Orcutt Avenue is a small street off of Mission Gorge that literally goes behind the hospital. We are a gray building with green windows that is located between the hospital parking structure and a Grab 'n Go Sub which is located on the corner of Mission Gorge and Orcutt Avenue. If street or parking structure parking is unavailable, the place to park is in the Bank of America parking lot that is across the street. It is part of the Vons shopping center. The only KP signage for the building is on the glass entry doors. When you walk in you will see a circular conference room in front of you. To the left is Classroom B and when you walk around the conference room, go down the hall past the bathrooms, Classroom C is on your right.
Additional meeting information: We should now be consistently on the 2nd TUESDAY of the month with the exception of June when we will meet on Tuesday, June 24. Meeting information, as always, will be posted on our web site, sdoma.org.
"SEE ONE, DO ONE, TEACH ONE" - Remember that mantra from school? Well, it's time to honor it again! I am looking for some Doc's who would be willing to preceptor third and fourth year medical students form the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Bradenton, Florida campus. I need Family Practitioners, a General Surgeon, a General Internist, and a Dermatologist to start. Rotations are generally 4 to 8 weeks, and as this is a new program, no doctor need take more than one student for the year. All other specialties are welcome as electives start next year. Appointments to the Adjunct Clinical Faculty are anticipated. INTERESTED? Call Dr. Michael Feinstein at 619-464-1607, option 6 and leave a message, or email me at mfeinstein@san.rr.com and I will get right back to you.
Student Looking for Shadowing: My name is Rechel Orlino and I will be finishing up my 1st year as a medical student at Touro University, CA. As a member of OPSC, I was assigned a mentor in Northern California however, I will be spending my entire summer in San Diego. I was directed to contact SDOMA by OPSC in regards to possibly being set up with someone to shadow in San Diego County. I shadowed a few D.O.'s in San Diego throughout the course of the year leading up to my first year of medical school and want to expand upon my previous experiences. I am open to any and all fields of medicine. Please contact me at your earliest convenience by email at rorlino@gmail.com Thank you so much for your time!
