NYMC Introduces Health System Science Intersession Series for First-Year Medical Students
The New York Medical College (NYMC) School of Medicine (SOM) instituted a new series of Health System Science Intersession mini-courses for first-year medical students. The second intersession in the series focusing on population and social determinants of health took place during the first week in January. Previously, SOM first-year students attended a session during orientation in August on the introduction to the health care system and collaborative practice, which included elements of implicit bias. Future sessions this academic year are planned on research fundamentals and evidence-based medicine and during the students' second-year on quality and leadership in teams, health care economics, policies and structures and patient safety and high-value care.
