NYMC Students Encourage Voter Registration
When Rachel Thommen, School of Medicine (SOM) Class of 2024, arrived on campus, she wasted no time in getting involved in an issue of importance to her: voting and the political process. She initially reached out to Anthony M. Sozzo, M.S.Ed., M.A., associate dean for student affairs and director of student financial planning and student activities, to see if New York Medical College (NYMC) had a voter registration club. Mr. Sozzo suggested creating a collaborative multi-club initiative to involve the leadership of various organizations at NYMC to help spread the word to register to vote. "Our goal is to simply encourage our peers, including those in the School of Medicine, Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences, School of Health Sciences and Practice and the Touro College of Dental Medicine, to register or re-register to vote, making sure their addresses and voting methods are up to date," explained Ms. Thommen. "It is an apolitical effort to make sure that our voices are heard in the upcoming elections by encouraging registration, voting early in-person or returning mail-in ballots at least two weeks prior to Election Day."

Anesthesiology Residency Application Forum Provides Valuable Insight
The Anesthesiology Interest Group, under the leadership of Lia Metzger and Scott Lewis, both members of the School of Medicine (SOM) Class of 2021, held the first of three anesthesiology residency application forums on August 25. With the application process much different this year due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, the forum provided an opportunity for anesthesiology applicants to learn more about the variety of programs in the New York and New Jersey area, directly from the program directors, and to hear from residents about their experiences. Open to fourth-year medical students in the United States and internationally, the forum was extremely well received with more than 200 logging on for the live session and more than 500 views to date of the recorded session.
