COMP Alumnus Helps Build an n95 mask decontamination center at southern california hospital
Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) alumnus Jason Wei, DO ’17, was on a pediatric rehabilitation rotation at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) when it went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
Seeing the fast rise in COVID-19 cases across the country and the subsequent shortage of N95 surgical masks for health care workers, Dr. Wei – inspired by an article he read about using UVC light to perform N95 mask disinfection at the University of Nebraska – quickly went into action.

Title IX
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. The law also pertains to cases of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Under the Violence Against Womens Act (VAWA), WesternU is required to provide training on Title IX/VAWA to our incoming students. In years past, incoming students were required to complete an initial full-length training related to Title IX upon matriculation in the Fall. Additionally, continuing students were required to complete an annual Title IX training in the Spring as a reminder of the rules and regulations.
In May 2020, the Department of Education issued significant changes to the Title IX laws which are effective on August 14, 2020. Given the nature of these changes, all students will be required to complete the Everfi Sexual Assault Prevention: Graduate Student training module regardless if they recently completed the on-going training in Spring 2020.
