Anatomy practical exams cover large amounts of material and are conducted in a timed station manner. Such exams are difficult to take, requiring both a solid foundation of the curriculum content and familiarity with the test format itself. As an organized student group, we intend to set-up practice anatomy practical exams in the human gift laboratory the weekend before regularly scheduled block exams to provide a space for students to improve their mastery of anatomy material and test-taking skills prior to the real scored exam. Following these practice anatomy practicals, we will provide review sessions in a classroom to cover the tested questions and other relevant anatomy. Our tutors will also be available in the anatomy laboratory to provide teaching to students of the tagged anatomy structures following the exams, as well. All practice questions will be reviewed and edited by our advisor prior to conducting the practice anatomy practicals to ensure accuracy and fairness of the practice exams.

The mission of this student organization is to bring research awareness to students who may not interact with it often or know how to do so. Along with the first year SKMC curriculum, we will hold events where an expert in a certain field (e.g. cardiology) will go over their research and explain to students how they went about this research and its significance. Research is often stressed as crucial to medical students, however how to interpret it is never explained and we hope to serve that purpose.

Our mission would be centered around awareness of Mental Health specifically for Asian American Students as stigma disproportionality affects Asian Americans compared to other groups in America. The goal would be to create a safe space for those to discuss mental health concerns, especially in many cases, students will not have that same space at home. Furthermore, the organization would work to end the stigma revolving around mental health/illness in Asian American communities and motivate students to receive the care they deserve or even discuss issues with parents/support systems at home. In addition to this, the idea included the creation of fundraisers and donating a portion of the proceeds toward groups that are dedicated to supporting Asian America Mental Health.
