  25. Long Term Outcome NY Metro Region Office “The first two years of medical school can leave you feeling ambivalent . . . . So much of that time is so textbook focused that I was longing for something more meaningful.  Through AHEC, I worked at the Institute for Family Health doing a summer program visiting various soup kitchens, meeting homeless patients under the supervision of passionate doctors and nurse practitioners and doing research on the appropriate medical management of homeless patients with hypertension and diabetes. Today I am medical director of one of the Institute’s clinics in the south Bronx. I also help direct both the ECHO Free Clinic, where I first worked as a medical student, and the NYC Free Clinic where we provide an access point to care for uninsured patients.  Thank you AHEC for reminding students of the meaning behind medicine.”  Dr. Sarah Nosal, MD Medical Director Urban Horizon Family Practice, South Bronx
