Committee Report - Winter 2002

The medical student committee started the new academic year by participating in the Special Olympics, in New Haven on June 8-10. Rina Reyes, a third year Yale medical student, helped organize participation in the event. We are grateful also to have Rina as the student representative on the Governor's council this year. Student membership to the ACP continues to be enhanced bystudents from Connecticut. Nearly a quarter of the incoming first year students signed up for membership at the Yale medical student activities fair held on September 6. The 3rd Annual Medical Student Jeopardy Tournament was held at the Hospital of Saint Raphael on September 22. After a welcome from our Governor, Dr. David Podell, students from six different schools; New Jersey Medical College, New York Medical College, Mount Sinai, SUNY Downstate, Univ. of Connecticut and Yale participated in two preliminary rounds. The final round included teams from New York Medical College, SUNY Downstate,Univ. of Connecticut and Yale. SUNY Downstate emerged as the 2001 winners. All participants received a Washington Manuel and the SUNY Downstate team received 2001 Harrison's textbooks. SUNY Downstate joins previous winners, New Jersey Medical College (1999) and New York Medical College (2000). Finally, we were delighted to be recognized at the Annual Meeting with a National Evergreen Award and $500, presented by Regent Robert Gibbons, MD, FACP to the Connecticut Chapter.
