Pediatrics Department outreach table, SNMA 2019
Students at Weill Cornell Medical College are active members and lead local chapters of national student organizations such as the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) and Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA). They participate in local and regional meetings, and are supported by Weill Cornell Medicine faculty.
At the SNMA Regional Meeting
In addition to the “Preparation for Clerkships Workshop," faculty and housestaff from Pediatrics, Medicine, Obstetrics and Psychiatry meet with members of the Weill Cornell chapter of SNMA. This session was requested by our students to answer questions and offer strategies and tips for success.
During this dinner session, minority students have the opportunity to glean strategies and keys to successful clinical rotations from residents, chief residents and faculty. The students have shared that they felt well supported and much more comfortable approaching their rotations.
Clerkship Pre-Brief Meeting
