SREC Hypertension Subcommittee Updates

[Elizabeth Lizardo]

Hi all, 

Hypertension Event

1. As all of you may know our last Hypertension Training Event for the quarter will be on Thursday, November 12th in room CHS 13-105 from 6-9pm, so please let your members know. Same rules apply, each organization has a maximum of ten spots and make a waitlist. 

Please send me the number of extra spaces your organization has available by Wednesday, November 11th at 6pm (or earlier if possible), so I may offer these extra spaces to others. 

2. I have 10 medical assistants from the Downey Adult School that will help train members. The AAP Graduate Mentor, Hannah Hughes, (UCLA-PRIME Medical Student), has agreed to present the PPT again. 

She also reached out to me to promote her Health Professional Panel event, that will be hosted tomorrow, Nov. 5th from 4-6pm in Campbell Hall 1224. I have fowarded you all the email so take a look at it for more details. Its a great event, so promote it to your organization's members as well!

Certification Cards

For those who have sent me the names of the people who did not recieve an AHA certification card last year, thanks; but I lost track of who sent me names. The list of names I have for people who are missing their cards are: Armenians for Health Advancement, APHC, and Flying Sams. If  you sent me names and were not mentioned above, please send me those names, please and sorry!

I will be sending Carla Hegwood, the American Heart Association rep., everything this upcoming Monday, so send me all your extra names by noon on Monday, 11/ 9.

PLEDGE Fund 

I'm trying to get blood pressure cuffs and alcohol pads specifically for our hypertension events because our equipment unfortunately gets lost and damaged during the process. 

We can (hopefully) buy this equipment through the PLEDGE Fund.

I'll have more details on this soon, I have to figure some details out, but I just wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten about this issue. 

Improvements

After reading evaluations from both the medical assistants and students it has come to my attention, that the second part of our trainings, where we make our members practice and take both parts of the exams, are very chaotic and loud and that's not cool.

 

So let's try to improve this! 

Please email me a suggestion on how to improve this layout and better organize the flow of people or propose a new layout or organization system that you think might work by 11:59pm on Sunday. 

I will compile these suggestions and discuss them with Chidera on Monday.

If you have an comments, questions, concerns, or something wasn't clear, anything you think I forgot to address... please let me know ASAP. 

Email me directly with all of your concerns,  so we won't bombard/bother our fellow directors with emails that do not apply to them. Gracias. 

If you cannot meet the deadlines I set up, please let me know ASAP. 

Thank you again for reading this email and please have a super fabulous night/ morning ~ 

Best, 

Lizzy Liz

Hey Lizzy, 

some recommendations we thought of in the past was that we could book 2 rooms for our trainings; that way, when the students complete the practical portion of their exam, they can go to another room to do the written section. If we don't have 2 rooms, we could just have them try to work on the tests in the hallways/biomed library and have one of our directors oversee that section.

Best,

Ben

Hi Lizzy,

I agree with what Ben mentioned just now. I know that during our first training, some of the people just went outside to take their test and it was a lot easier for them to concentrate.

I also think it would help to make things flow better. We wouldn’t constantly need to be asking if people need tests or if they’re ready if one person is near the door to handing out tests so they can take it outside where it’s more quiet.

Best,

Irene.
