Highlights

Buffalo News Editorial: Restore Funding for Health Program
Even in a year of a significant deficit, this cut doesn’t make sense. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s proposed 2018-19 state budget would make it harder for minority students to become doctors, with unwanted consequences for them, for patients and for communities.  Learn more.
Stony Brook Medicine Launches Three-Year MD Program

Stony Brook University School of Medicine has created a new medical training curriculum that enables students to complete their MD degree in three years instead of the traditional four years. The new MD program is the first of its kind on Long Island and only the second one in New York State. Learn more.

Medical Education & Training

In response to the national opioid crises, medical schools across the country have begun to weave addiction medicine into their curriculums. The Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell has taken the call-to-action a step further by introducing a comprehensive program on substance use for third-year medical students.  Learn more.

Diversity in Medicine

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine: Is There a Doctor in the House? Increased Diversity Measures are Promoting More Opportunities for Minorities
As the #OscarsSoWhite social media outcry made Hollywood listen to the call for racial inclusion, the world of medicine has been rallying its own cry for diversity. National initiatives emerge to address the need for more physicians of color.  Learn more.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine: M.D. Student Sebastian Placide Reflects on the Power of Helping Others
Medical school for those from underserved communities can seem like an impossible dream.

His hope is that his story holds valuable lessons for premed students looking for a route to their dreams.  Learn more.

Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons: Pipettes, Pitches, and Patents
When Holly Wobma, an MD-PhD student at the Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons, began her PhD research on stem cells, she had no interest in business-she was a scientist, she thought, and wanted little to do with the commercial side of medicine. But a year into the work, her mindset started to shift.  Learn more.
New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine Student Profile: Julia Schneider
Julia Schneider, a second-year student at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM), is wasting no time pursuing her dream to become a neurosurgeon. “I always knew that I wanted to wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night or at any point in the day and save a person’s life,” she says.  Learn more.

Weill Cornell Medicine: NYC High School Students Explore STEM Fields

Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons: Benjamin Spock -The World’s Pediatrician
