TouroCOM Harlem D.O. and M.S. students gathered recently for a workshop, “Minorities in Medicine,” with faculty members Drs. David Colbourne, Esquire Anthony, and Jeffrey Gardere. The faculty spoke about their journeys through college, medical school, and beyond. Dr. Gardere shared information on disparities in healthcare and the panelists answered questions from students about challenges the physicians faced as minorities and how they persevered. Personal struggles against racism and best advice for moving forward were shared. “TouroCOM is a very diverse medical school, and events such as these reflect how special our student body and faculty are,” said Kevin Pérez, M.S., MBS, OMS-I. “I can proudly say that when I see my community come together to attend events like today, it provides me the extra inspiration to not only excel in my studies, but to be the best medical student I can be.”

#touro50 “My favorite things about working at Touro are the family atmosphere and watching the students progress and grow. The faculty get along very well and really care about the students and how they are doing. I have seen some of my students that I’ve known since they were master's students, graduate and become residents. It's so rewarding to watch them from the beginning of school and starting their careers." -Kelly Kohler, M.S., CHSE, EMPT-P - Clinical Assistant Professor and Simulation Specialist - TouroCOM Middletown #wearetouro #tourocollege #tourocom #tourocommiddletown
