I am delighted to introduce myself as the NYACP Council Board Medical Student Representative. This past year I served on the NYACP Medical Student Committee and helped to plan the mentorship series focused on the path to residency. I have found ACP to be a fantastic way to learn more about the practice of internal medicine as well as a place that is supportive of medical students, helping us to find mentorship opportunities and to connect with others, including both fellow medical students and faculty.

I am currently an M3 at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, living in Brooklyn, NY. I have lived in New York for the past 20 years and am constantly energized by the people in our community, especially their welcoming attitude. I have found the medical community and NYACP to be consistent with this. I began medical school following a previous career in business because I wanted to make a micro impact on the health of individuals in our community. I am excited about the opportunity to meet and work with other fellow medical students who share a similar passion and an interest in internal medicine.

We are already in the planning process for our next mentorship series event. I would love to hear any ideas you have about other medical student programs or events that interest you. Please share your thoughts here. I would also like to encourage you to share this link with other fellow students who have not yet joined ACP. It is a great community and one that can become even better with your help.

I look forward to meeting and working with you!
