At the fourth annual Women of Color in Medicine and Science dinner, more than 100 students, physicians, researchers, and administrators from across the Mount Sinai Health System shared a meal and built connections. The event, sponsored by Students for Equal Opportunity in Medicine, Students for Equal Opportunity in Science, and the Office for Diversity and Inclusion’s Patricia S. Levinson Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs, was held in March at Red Rooster Harlem. “At this gathering, new collaborations have begun and new mentoring connections have been formed that have changed people’s lives,” said Ann-Gel Palermo, DrPH, MPH, Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion in Biomedicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
