College Enhances MEC Roadway with Improved Parking
NYMC is pleased to announce the completion of the construction project aimed at enhancing both the parking capacity and the aesthetic appeal of the MEC roadway. The number of visitor parking spaces has more than doubled, and an additional handicapped parking space has been added. Parking on the MEC Roadway is designated for contractors and visitors. Employees and students are not permitted to park in this area. Students who do not have access to the BSB parking lot can obtain a temporary visitor parking permit for the MEC Roadway. These permits can be picked up at either of the Public Safety Offices located in the BSB or 19 Skyline in the lower lobby. Please note that these permits must be returned on the same day they are issued. There is a 15-minute parking area available for food delivery services. This is clearly marked with posted signage to ensure quick and easy access for deliveries. Due to increased traffic on the MEC roadway, pedestrians should use the sidewalk. Walking in the roadway is prohibited to ensure everyone's safety.

SOM Student David Zuckerman Awarded AMA Physicians of Tomorrow Scholarship
David Zuckerman, SOM Class of 2025, has been awarded the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation Physician of Tomorrow Scholarship. The scholarship is presented to a deserving student in their final year of medical school. Zuckerman has distinguished himself as a health policy advocate and through service to his community. As chair of the Medical Society of the State of New York Medical Student Section, he has written and passed several resolutions at the State’s House of Delegates meetings on a range of topics, including expanding protections in end-of-life care and addressing fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. On campus, Zuckerman has served as co-president for NYMC’s AMA chapter, president of the Food Insecurity Medical Outreach club, and leader of the Health Policy Roundtable. Zuckerman plans to pursue neurology as a specialty when he graduates from NYMC. “At a young age, I witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of neurological illnesses, as my grandmother suffered from multiple sclerosis,” says Zuckerman. “This early exposure served as a catalyst, motivating me to pursue a bachelor's degree in neuroscience at Yale and later a master's degree in bioethics at Harvard Medical School. My past educational and research experiences have prepared me to excel in this field and deliver the highest standard of care to patients and their families.”

|
Disasters can strike with devastating force and little warning, disrupting lives and communities in their wake. With hurricane season here, the Center for Disaster Medicine provides essential tips to help you prepare for a disaster.
Five Essential Tips for Disaster Preparedness
-
Prepare a Go Bag: Pack a bag that contains enough supplies for you to survive for three days. Include items like clothes, medications, money, important documents, food, water, and personal hygiene products.
-
Family Plan: Make sure your family has a plan to reunite if separated during an emergency. Ensure each family member has their own Go Bag, including your pets
-
Power Loss Preparedness: Place a battery-powered or hand-crank flashlight in each room of your home. Check the batteries regularly, ideally when you check your smoke alarm batteries.
-
STOP THE BLEED: Buy a STOP THE BLEED kit for your home, office, and car. Avoid purchasing these kits from sites like eBay or Amazon due to the risk of counterfeit products. You can purchase a kit from the STOP THE BLEED website.
-
Summertime Injuries/Illnesses: Be aware of common summer health issues such as heatstroke, dehydration, sunburn, and insect bites. Keep first aid supplies and remedies on hand.
