At the Brookhaven Town Board Meeting on June 6, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich presented
two Stony Brook University students, Aman Mistry and Siddhant Desai with a proclamation
recognizing Scholars for Medicine Society. The organization provides an environment to
nurture leadership and problem-solving abilities of the Stony Brook community’s future
physicians.
The society hosts Stony Brook University Healthcare Innovation Challenge and encourages
student innovation in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment supported by faculty
mentorship. They also promote student-run community health initiatives that translate
problem-solving skills to real-world impact in the greater community.
In addition, they recruit a diverse array of sponsors and event support, including Stony
Brook University, The Contribution Project, the Protect Our Planet (POP) Movement, Duck
Donuts in Selden, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich, and David L. Calone. The Scholars
for Medicine Society at Stony Brook University has facilitated connections in the Stony
Brook community through campus-wide events like the Healthcare Innovation Challenge.
