The Rossi Medical Education Newsletter: May 2013

This quarter's Rossi features an interview I conducted with Dr. Basil Hanss. Dr. Hanss is an Associate Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He also oversees the FlexMed and masters programs and mentors faculty. You can read more about the early assurance program, FlexMed, in the current issue. In addition to the faculty interview, this issue features First Generation Scholars, a student-run organization that provides mentorship and college advisement to at-risk high school students. Also, get tips on writing an effective research abstract. Enjoy!

The Rossi

Back in the fall I became a writer and editor for the Rossi, Sinai's new medical education newsletter. If you have an interest in medicine, education or just want to learn about some of the things going on at Sinai, I suggest you check it out.

My first story, on handheld ultrasound, is in the second issue. I was recently named Editor-in-Chief and look forward to becoming more involved with the publication. You can check out both issues here.
