New York Medical College and Touro College and University System Host Second COVID-19 Symposium
More than 720 participants tuned in to the second COVID-19 symposium, "What we know. What we don't know. What you need to know," via an online webinar on March 30 when there were more than 145,000 reported cases in the U.S. Although the title remained appropriate, it was a stark difference from the first such symposium on January 31, when there were 200 people in attendance at the Touro College Midtown Manhattan campus and only seven reported cases in the U.S.

Clinical Skills and Simulation Center Pilots Virtual Standardized Patient Assessments
The adage, "The show must go on," rings true for many circumstances but it is especially true for providing clinical skills education to medical students. The staff of the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center (CSSC) at New York Medical College has successfully answered this challenge by piloting virtual standardized patient assessments for most of the School of Medicine (SOM) clerkships as well as for the pre-clinical years through a combination of platforms including Zoom and LearningSpace. These sessions have seamlessly provided a collaborative experience for students to continue to hone their clinical skills for conducting the patient interview, exhibiting strong interpersonal communication skills, strengthening clinical reasoning and utilizing best practices for clinical documentation. "This is also a great opportunity and a robust method for teaching students how to navigate telemedicine," said Katharine Yamulla, M.A., CHSE, senior director of competency-based assessment and clinical skills education and director of the CSSC. "Moreover, the team-based approach to clinical reasoning discussions has been appreciated by students, faculty and standardized patients alike." Read the full article on the CSSC.
