Here's how med students are stepping up to aid coronavirus efforts: by brianne_garrett
Medical students nationwide have been stepping up to lead coronavirus relief efforts. Sometimes that means going directly to the front. In other cases, that means doing work to support efforts behind the scenes, whether that’s through taking on communications tasks or working with communities to get needed equipment to doctors. Under these extreme circumstances, the soon-to-be doctors are making opportunities for themselves that they’ll be able to apply to their residencies and beyond.
With no obvious ways for her to directly aid coronavirus efforts, first-year Harvard Med student Pooja Chandrashekar drew on her experience as the child of two immigrants. “I've always been cognizant of the fact that a lot of health information isn’t available in South Asian languages,” she says. This memory became her inspiration to launch the, a student-run initiative that translates original COVID-19 fact sheets into 37 different languages.
The group has since expanded its donation efforts beyond NYU and Bellevue hospital to other hard-hit hospitals, such as Elmhurst and Montefiore in the Bronx, Lincoln and New York-Presbyterian in Queens and Woodhull in Jamaica. “We've donated to about 20 different hospitals, all throughout the five boroughs,” adds Lux.
