October 2012 News from the Medical Schools

Oct
11
2012

The Associated Medical Schools of New York (AMSNY) brings you the following compilation of the most recent updates and news from its sixteen member institutions. AMSNY is engaged in highlighting efforts of the schools in areas including, but not limited to, medical education, training, and research.


Meet New York’s Next Generation of Physicians

October 9, 2012 – The Associated Medical Schools of New York announced that a total of of 2,230 new medical students enrolled this fall in New York State’s medical schools. To mark their first steps towards becoming physicians, they participated in ‘white coat ceremonies’ at their institutions, donning the physician’s traditional white coat for the first time.

“This rite of passage is an acknowledgment of the students’ achievements thus far and serves as a symbol of an ongoing commitment to the profession of medicine and the ethical and moral obligations students are expected to uphold,” said AMSNY President and Chief Executive Officer Jo Wiederhorn.

Grand Opening of UB’s Clinical and Translational Research Center Marks Move Downtown of UB Medical School Researchers

September 20, 2012 – The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York, held the grand opening of its Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) in the joint UB-Kaleida Health building at Goodrich and Ellicott streets in downtown Buffalo.

The new research center is an important step in the relocation of UB’s medical school to downtown Buffalo, made possible by Governor Cuomo’s NYSUNY 2020 law, enabling the university to implement the next phase of its UB 2020 strategic plan. When it is completed in 2016, the new medical school will bring approximately 1,200 people to downtown Buffalo. In total, both the CTRC and new medical school projects will create more than 3,000 jobs.

Einstein Faculty Receive Grant to Teach Social Media Professionalism in Medicine

September 10, 2012 – Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University was awarded a two-year grant earlier in September to educate faculty members and medical students on using social media appropriately and effectively. The title of the grant is “Social Media and Medical Professionalism: Perfect Match or Perfect Storm?”

Martha Grayson, M.D., co-investigator and Einstein’s senior associate dean for medical education, describes how the institution’s “overarching goal is to teach medical students how they can use social media in a way that will benefit patient care while maintaining professional standards.”

This grant enables both current and future generations of medical educators and medical students to become more aware of what exactly defines professionalism in social media as it grows in popularity and to learn how to utilize such outlets as a tool for more effective communication and education.
