Nursing students volunteer at RAM clinic
Students and alumni from St. Bonaventure's Nursing programs volunteered
at the 2025 Remote Area Medical (RAM) pop-up clinic at the Olean YMCA on Sept. 13 and 14, helping to serve more than 400 individuals.
Backed mainly by volunteer assistance, RAM’s free clinics deliver quality services to underserved and uninsured individuals who do not have access to or cannot afford a doctor. The mobile clinic offered a variety of free dental, vision and medical services.
The students gained valuable insight into interdisciplinary teamwork in a free clinic setting while learning about health disparities in remote areas.

Students Without Borders
Students Without Borders (SWOB) is a graduate student-run organization that brings together students who desire to provide
lifesaving medical care to
global communities that need it most, irrespective of racial and political factors.
Each year, members of the organization travel to the Dominican Republic on a medical mission trip. During the course of one week, the students provide
free medicine and medical education to hundreds of patients ranging in age from young to old. The team works in shifts, taking vital signs, assessing conditions and then determining a care plan for each patient, which a preceptor then reviews for approval.

St. Bonaventure's Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) Club hosts socials and informational sessions throughout the academic year.

in Occupational Therapy and to encourage all to live lives of purpose.
