A.T. Still University-School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (ATSU-SOMA) student Raashmi Krishnasamy, OMS II, was recently elected as National Parliamentarian of the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA).
SOMA is the nation’s largest network of osteopathic medical students and the only student organization with direct representation to the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Its members work to advance health policy, build leadership skills, and advocate for the profession as physicians at the local, state, and federal levels.
As parliamentarian, Krishnasamy will serve as the representative voice for all osteopathic medical students at the AOA House of Delegates annual meeting, review submitted resolutions for discussion and potential adoption as SOMA policy, and empower students to use their voices through advocacy and resolution writing.
“I’m deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to elevate the voices of my peers and to contribute to the advancement of our profession. Most of all, I’m excited to share my passion for advocacy and hope to inspire others to step into this space and make their voices heard,” Krishnasamy said.
