MeSH Central At
Frank H. Netter School of Medicine
At Quinnipiac Needs Your Help!!
IT'S CRUNCH TIME!! In just six short weeks, The Class of 2019 will be arriving, on the North Haven campus, for Orientation.
At this writing, the class consists of 94 students (that number could drop slightly, by the matriculation date, as students come off Waitlists at other medical schools). At this writing, we have confirmed MeSH preceptors for 81 students in that class.
The students in the Class of 2018 will start their second year of MeSH on August 11th. For a variety of reasons, nine of them have been "orphaned", and will not be able to return to their first-year MeSH sites. New MeSH preceptors have been identified, so far, for five of those nine students.
To maintain the MeSH Program, at its current level, I need your help. I have, within a very short window of time, the need to recruit another 10-15 PCPs, who practice in Connecticut, are Board-Certified in a Primary care specialty, and willing and able to participate. Medical sub-specialists, whose specialty requires a broad understanding of all organ systems (e.g., Endocrinologists, Intensivists, ID specialists), or who also provide primary care for their patients, are also eligible. Please help us spread the word, and help us identify qualified physicians.
If you are able to do this, or have questions, please contact Dr. Kaplan.
