Doc Rock is a battle-of-the-bands-style event where at least one member of each band has an affiliation with USA Health. That means at least one member of your musical group should be an employee of USA Health (or even a friend of an employee) or an employee or a medical student at the Whiddon College of Medicine.
“Doc Rock is one of the most exciting events of the year because it brings together the incredible talent within our USA Health and University of South Alabama communities,” said Shanna Thorpe, director of constituent engagement for USA Health. “It’s not just about great music — it’s about gathering to support lifesaving research and compassionate patient care that makes a meaningful difference to so many people.”
Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit research and critical clinical needs at USA Health, the academic health system for USA.
Here’s how it works: All bands go through a selection process. The top five groups selected for the live event will be determined and announced by the committee in November. Bands of all music genres are encouraged to submit their group for consideration.
