Medical Students Deliver a COVID-19 Resource Guide for the Community
When the first- and second-year medical school curriculum transitioned to remote learning in early March of 2020 and the magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak became apparent, in true New York Medical College (NYMC) fashion, a group of medical students brainstormed about how they could help the community at large. With restrictions on medical students providing clinical care and State mandated social distancing in order to flatten the curve, a group of medical students led by Katherine French and Alessandra Piscina, members of the School of Medicine (SOM) Class of 2022, decided to develop an online resource guide for Westchester County with up-to-date information and resources available to the community. Read the full article on the COVID-19 Community Resource Guide.
