The Thomas Aquinas College (TAC) Medical Society is a new organization for pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-nursing students at Thomas Aquinas College.
The College's curriculum is a strong liberal arts program, and pre-health students, like us, choose it as their undergraduate education because professional schools, like medical schools and nursing programs, have seen liberal arts students excel as caregivers.

Project SAFE is a multidisciplinary effort to test whether brief motivational interviewing in an emergency department setting may encourage change in sex behaviors and thus prevent gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV among male and female patients aged 18-44 years who use heroin and/or crack/cocaine and are not in treatment. The brief motivation interview is designed to facilitate a conversation to illicit a self-determined commitment to changes in behavior by intravenous drug users to reduce the individual's risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
