FYI

 

Dear Ms. Wood-Hill,
I would appreciate it if you would please forward this to the pre-med listserve. I am putting together a bank of bilingual volunteers for a South Asian public heath project at NYU and think that Hunter has a valuable student base. Thanks,

Best,
Suman Saran

Volunteer Opportunity at NYU South Asian Health Initiative

The NYU School of Medicine's Center for Immigrant Health is currently seeking volunteers for its South Asian Health Initiative (SAHI). SAHI engages in diverse community-based research and education activities to bridge South Asians in the United States with the health care system, and to reduce the health care disparities faced by community members.

Currently, SAHI is coordinating a large-scale, National Institute of Health-funded study titled South Asians Engaging in Heart Disease Awareness and Treatment (SAEHAT). We are seeking volunteers to participate in conducting blood pressure screenings and recruiting participants into the study at outreach events located throughout NYC. For more information, please visit: http://www.med.nyu.edu/sahi/.

We invite individuals fluent in a South Asian language, particularly Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi, to volunteer their time for SAEHAT outreach events.  If interested, contact Suman Saran, Program Coordinator, at [log in to unmask]. Please include a resume or brief description of prior experience in public health research/community-based work with South Asians in NYC.
