Congratulations, Elise Mike! Elise is the recipient of this year’s National Medical Fellowships Manhattan Central Medical Society Scholarship.
The goal of National Medical Fellowships (NMF) is to support the next generation of diverse leaders in healthcare who will achieve health equity through knowledge, skills, commitment, and cultural competency. NMF offers scholarships to underrepresented students in medicine and the health professions to help them achieve this goal. The MCMS’s Scholarship is a $2,000 award offered to one African-American medical student in New York City to recognize leadership, academic achievement, and community service.
Elise is an MD/PhD student. In 2018 she completed her PhD and has now entered the clerkship phase of her medical education. She served as the 2017 - 2019 SNMA Region IX Director, and was profiled by Melanin In Medicine.

One of the many ways ODE is supportive of our students is by facilitating their attendance at conferences. Students representing the Einstein chapter of the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) attended the March 2019 Northeast Regional Conference in New York City.

ODE along with the Associated Medical Schools of New York, AMSNY, hosted a visit by three Bronx Assembly members on April 5, 2019. The Assembly members in attendance were Michael Blake, Nathalia Fernandez and Karines Reyes.
The focus of the visit was to share with the legislators the significance and need of several diversity programs funded by the legislature that include the AMSNY Post Baccalaureate Program in Buffalo, Diversity Medical Scholarships and the high school program, Einstein Enrichment Program. Dean Gordon Tomaselli, MD, addressed the group and shared with them the importance of these diversity programs at Einstein. Einstein students who have participated in these programs and scholarships shared with the legislators the impact these programs have had on their training and careers.
