“Serving Humanity with Medicine”
– peer med podcast
On this episode of the Peer Med Podcast, we welcome medical students from the University of GeorgeTown to speak about the COVID19 crisis and their initiative MedSupply Drive. A national collaborative effort across 42 states and expanding internationally, they’ve gathered a coalition of community members to give back. To hear more listen to this episode of a movement never seen before. For more information contact them at http://www.medsupplydrive.org
“Having had in-person classes and clerkships postponed, they responded to the crisis by creating an initiative with others in their class: MED SUPPLY DRIVE. Their project works to gather #PPE as well as other useful items. Med Supply drive has been instrumental in helping numerous HCP’s in America and abroad in the United Kingdom receive the weapons they need to fight on the frontlines.”
