Dr. Katz is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Cardiac Surgery at John Hopkins University and is the Founder and President of the Foundation for the Advancement of Cardiothoracic Surgical Care. The Woodrow Wilson Lecture Series is a resource offered through Campbell's membership the Council for Independent Colleges (CIC).

"As our basis of medical knowledge continues to expand, it becomes increasingly important that medical teams communicate well and value the input of all members to ensure the best patient care. I appreciated Dr. Katz's emphasis on the importance of practicing from an interdisciplinary perspective; this will be critical to our clinical careers. As future leaders of these teams, it is vital that we start to develop strong, collaborative communication skills now."

Community Care Clinic Annual Benefit an Entertaining Success

T

hree years ago, Hannah Anderson (Class of 2019) had a vision to host a fundraising event for the Campbell University Community Care Clinic that would showcase the talent of (or lack of talent) Campbell’s medical students.

Mr. CUSOM has grown in financial and entertainment success and this year’s “King of the Jungle” themed show received rave reviews from students, staff and community members who attended.

“We are so proud of the hard work and dedication of the nine contestants and their classmates who served as pageant coaches, said Bailey Dunn, second year medical student and pageant co-director.

“Our favorite part, other than seeing the actual event come together, was getting to work closely with so many of our classmates on various volunteer committees and during rehearsals.”

This year, in addition to the stage production committee, the decorations and fundraising committees were a new addition to the Mr. CUSOM production in hopes of increasing visibility, fundraising, and participation. The committees included both campus and community leads.

“From the very start, we were amazed and overwhelmed with the amount of support we received, especially from the Class of 2022,” said Macelyn Batten, second year medical student and co-director of the pageant. “The talent we uncovered among this group of volunteers was undeniable!”

Dr. David Tolentino, associate dean for clinical affairs, has loyally served as MC for the Mr. CUSOM production for our years.

The production was hosted at Stewart Theater in Dunn, NC - a new venue

Tips for Surviving Allergy Season Tips from the Campbell University Health Center

Spring is drawing near, and with it comes budding trees, green grass, and everyone’s favorite yellow dust: pollen. Up to 30% of adults and 40% of children suffer from allergies caused by pollen. Allergy symptoms can negatively impact your work performance and home life; however, there are things you can do to help manage these symptoms.

Easy Medication Free Steps Avoiding exposure to pollen is your first step toward controlling allergy symptoms.

You can do this by: 1. Keeping windows in your home and car closed 2. Changing air filters frequently 3. Wearing a mask while working outside 4. Work/exercise outside early in the day; pollen counts are usually highest in the late

afternoon and early evening

5. Changing clothes and showering before going to bed to get grass and pollen off your Congratulations to the two teams that competed in the North Carolina American College of Physicians Annual Scientific Meeting Case Competition “The Doctor’s Dilemma” who claimed first and third place!

Using Medications Correctly Multiple medication options are available for treating allergies and utilizing a stepwise approach can be helpful.

ANTIHISTAMINES: available over the counter and as lower cost generics.

Antihistamines help block the allergic response and are best taken before allergy symptoms become too severe STEROID SPRAY USED IN THE NOSE: two nasal steroid sprays are available over the counter fluticasone (Flonase) and triamcinolone (Nasacort). When using these sprays, breathe in gently through the nose while spraying.

Breathing in too hard will cause the medicine to go down the back of the throat and not stay in the nose to do its work. Start nasal steroid sprays early in the allergy season as they can take up to 2 weeks to reach full effect.

MONTELUKAST (SINGULAIR): oral tablet available only by prescription and

works by blocking the body’s response to pollen. These medications are available at Campbell University Health Center Pharmacy at no cost to Campbell employees with a prescription.

ALLERGY SHOTS: reserved for those with severe allergy symptoms that are Third and Fourth Year medical students visited with NC House Speaker Tim Moore during a NC Medical Society White Coat Wednesday.

not relieved by medication.

Successful treatment of allergies requires prevention, consistent use of medications, and early follow-up with your health care provider if your treatment is not working.

Do not wait until your symptoms are severe before seeking attention. If you need help with treating allergies, come visit us at the Campbell University Health Center!
