OU-HCOM's student chapter of AADMD will strive to raise awareness of developmental medicine and promote the education of our medical students to learn about the needs of those with developmental disabilities in medicine. This student chapter will do so through education activities and volunteering activities in the community surrounding each of OU-HCOM's three campuses.

Agenda 2022-2023

1. Guest speakers of physicians in the community who specialize in working with developmental differences as well as those personally affected by developmental differences -- Dr. Carl Tyler and Dr. Laura Cifra-Bean.
    
2. Multiple volunteering opportunities in the community with organizations that support and assist members of our community with developmental differences, such as Passion Works and Special Olympics.
