Max Cohen, COM '20, along with some colleagues, have worked together to create the Bridging Medical Gaps Collaboration, a nonprofit organization working to build a community of healthcare advocates to span the growing gap between the public health sector and medical professions through policy, networking, communication, and collaboration.
The organization is advocating for policy changes at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as promoting the work of those individuals affecting change. One of their primary goals is to engage with healthcare students and model the kind of collaboration they believe will help realize their goals in bridging these gaps.
BMGC is looking for submissions of projects, research, blog posts, etc. to feature the efforts of those working at these intersections.
To submit your work to BMGC, visit their website.
