NYCOM Neuroscience Fellow, Joey M. Mancuso, had the distinct honor of being awarded a scholarship from the Paul Ambrose Scholars Program (PASP). The award is sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR).
 
The program hosted a four day symposium in Washington D.C. from June 26, 2008 through June 29, 2008 which helps to educate and prepare students across all health professions for careers in health policy/prevention.
 
This year seven osteopathic medical students were awarded of the 50 participants selected! At the end of the symposium, students return to their communities to engage in a health promotion project powered by a microgrant from APTR.
 
Joey’s long term goal is to structure a health insurance company whose primary goal is care and not profit. In the short term, she is working with Dr. Linda Friedman, PhD, and other students in Dr. Friedman's Neuroscience lab in NYCOM II to construct a survey on the prevalence of pediatric epilepsy on Long Island to establish medical needs.
