Team members of Team POMP were from medicine, pharmacy, graduate health sciences, occupational therapy. Their faculty advisor was Dr. Stuart Caplan. On the title slide is the saying: Leaves are supposed to fall. People aren’t.

The goals of Team POMP’s proposal were to address fall prevention and home safety. The team recommended a fall prevention seminar for the senior companions. The information from the seminar would provide the senior companion with information beneficial to them as well as to the clients that the senior companions serve.

Judges talked about the opportunities for this program to fit in with the existing MIFA programs. All the teams had great interactions with the judges – it was so great that the judges, students, and advisors gave up some of their Saturday for this worthwhile program!
