The FCEP Medical Student Council has officially transitioned to a new leadership team. Please welcome our new chair: Patrick Anderson (NSU), our new advocacy chair: Chloe Gould (FIU), and our new secretary-editor: Dan Schaefer (FSU). Our outgoing team did an absolutely fantastic job over this last year.

At this time, medical students are facing very unique challenges to their medical education. Can you remember your own third and fourth years in medical school? Can you remember the interview trail and the residency match process? Since the SARS-COV-2 pandemic resulted in economic turmoil and social distancing in March, students have been pulled off clinical rotations, hospitals have closed to student rotators, anatomy labs have shuttered, and curriculum has switched to online platforms. EM organizations aligned with the other medical specialty organizations across the nation and deemed that all residency interviews will be conducted virtually!

In response, the Medical Student Committee has worked to keep students across the state informed and prepared for the virtual interview season ahead. We are holding live, faculty-led informational sessions that are open to all students, as well as recording them and posting them to be viewed at a later date.
