Subject: TOUCH hours details and sign up

Hi everyone,

I hope block 2 is off to a good start! Below is the information regarding how to sign up and how to log TOUCH hours. The powerpoint gives examples of what qualifies as a TOUCH and volunteer hour and I also attached the rules and regulations for this cycle. The cycle runs from the date of matriculation to April 30, 2025. These hours are not required unless you are a member or hoping to become a member of the Sigma Sigma Phi Honors Society.


How do I get started? --> Go to https://www.trackitforward.com/site/cusom and register using your Campbell email.

Common questions:
1. Why should I care about TOUCH hours? --> It goes into your MSPE, colloquially referred to as a 'Dean's Letter.'
2. Why should I use it? --> It alleviates the clerical burden of logging multiple dates/times/hours of service that you experienced when applying to medical school on AMCAS and AACOMAS.
3. What counts as a TOUCH hour? --> Check the list on the PowerPoint.
4. What doesn't count as TOUCH hours? --> In short: time spent TAing at CUSOM, club leadership roles, conference attendance, SIM labs, research. Anything where CUSOM, Campbell University, or its students benefit does not count!


TOUCH Hour Award Milestones:
1. Participation: Less than 50 hours
2. Silver: More than 50 hours
3. Gold: More than 100 hours
4. Platinum: The individual with the highest amount of hours at CUSOM

I encourage you to save this email so you can refer back to it when submitting hours!

Please let me know if you have any questions,
