That’s not a particularly adult reaction to someone pointing out that SOMA is little more than a chance to feel like you did something. Much like a model UN, no one really cares what they pass. At some point those students can join the “real” organizations and may change the rules themselves as members of the nbome or aacomas or even legislaturewow so edgy, hip and cool!

I saw somewhere that in this resolution, it was made clear that students are "grateful" for the NBOME or some such. While I can understand the purpose of such language, a majority of the DO students are not "grateful" for this organization.
While I agree with that sentiment, I doubt even the sweetest of nectar would get the NBOME to listen to students.Honey > poop for getting people to listen.

After SOMA passes a resolution it goes on to the AOA house of delegates where they will vote to also take the resolution on...And that is a more important position than a soma resolution
I’m aware of the processAfter SOMA passes a resolution it goes on to the AOA house of delegates where they will vote to also take the resolution on...
Edit: to also add, SOMA is a direct way for students to show the AOA where they stand on issues.
Anyone knows that the Student Osteopathic Medical Association passed a position statement last weekend to support a single licensing exam for all medical students (regardless MD or DO)? Any insights into this or more information?
