Downstate Student Representative to the New York State Academy of Family Physicians
This May, Kristin was elected as the 2020-21 Downstate Student Representative to the New York State Academy of Family Physicians (NYSAFP) Board of Directors. She represents medical students interested in family medicine and Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIG) in NYC and Long Island. Kristin is applying into Family Medicine residency programs this fall and intends to focus her career on primary care, social medicine, women’s health, public health, and health disparities.
ScrubCaps for a Cause - Fauci Scholar
Kristin was awarded a scholarship from ScrubCaps for a Cause, which is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting women in medicine and surgery. She received a special distinction as a “Fauci Scholar”, which was awarded to three NYC women medical students who continued their medical education and helped take care of patients while NYC was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kristin organized a primary care outreach call effort to support high risk patients at a variety of Montefiore/Einstein affiliated family practice clinics during the height of the COVID-19 crisis when many patients were left without appropriate follow up care. She received a congratulatory letter from Dr. Anthony Fauci in honor of this distinction.
Engagement
On June 26, 2020, Kristin got engaged to her now fiancé, Rushshane C. Brown, via Zoom. They are currently planning for their wedding on June 6, 2021 (God's willing), which will be socially distanced and livestreamed.
We congratulate Kristin on her multiple accomplishments!
