Scenes from the 1st Annual Back to School BBQ
TESTIMONIAL
As anticipated, this event was a HUGE success. Despite the inclement
weather, 190+ individuals braved the elements and found shelter in the
backyard of our gracious host and coordinator of the event, Dr. Lynne
Holden, MD. The guests included 33 physicians from specialties which
included transplant surgery, bariatric surgery, neurosurgery, family
practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, obstetrics/gynecology,
podiatry, plastic surgery, emergency medicine and public health. The
perseverance and enthusiasm from the crowd seemed to not only inspire and
motivate those in attendance, but it seemed to affect even the weather.
As the clouds departed, wise words were imparted Dr. Lynne Holden, other
notable supporters of the Mentoring in Medicine program, and most notably a
speech from a surprise guest, Dr. Muriel Petioni who is 93 years old. Dubbed
, "The Mother of Medicine in Harlem", this accomplished, distinguished, and
outspoken woman shared her words of wisdom and invaluable advice for success
not only in our medical pursuits, but in our life pursuits as well (read
more about this remarkable woman at
http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/biography.asp?bioindex=119, and
http://www.educationupdate.com/archives/2007/MAY/html/medup-muriel.html).
Many premedical and medical students were in attendance. It was a great
opportunity for these students to network with such influential people as
Dr. Holden, Dr. Petioni, and many others. Of course, REGION IX WAS IN THE
BUILDING represented in strong numbers with schools such as SUNY Downstate,
Albert Einstein COM, NYCOM, Sophie Davis, Stonybrook, UMDNJ, Columbia, Mount
Sinai and CCNY MAPS!! (forgive me if I left anyone out, there are just soooo
many of you guys!!!) And of course, you know the Regional E-board was there,
representing strong!! At the end of the day, the food was great, we learned
a lot, made many new connections and nurtured a partnership with the
Mentoring in Medicine that SNMA will continue to support and cherish.
Special thanks goes out to Dr. Lynne Holden for hosting this event. We are
all definitely looking forward to the next one!!
