Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine Student Government Leaders Advocate on Capitol Hill

While Capitol Hill never takes a break from its active life of politicians, tourists, and everyday citizens, the Capitol witnessed the arrival of another demographic as 26 teams of osteopathic medical students, representing the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), went to Washington, D.C., for the annual “COM Day on the Hill” event held October 17.

The AACOM event aims for osteopathic medical students to network, raise social media awareness, and voice their opinions to politicians regarding policies that directly affect medical students. NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine was represented by two of its Student Government Association (SGA) leaders—Regina Zambrano, third-year student and SGA president, and Charles Bisbee, second-year student and SGA president-elect.
