The FirstGenMed Student Interest Group promotes visibility and community amongst medical students at NYITCOM who are first generation college graduates and/or from low-income backgrounds. Our student interest group is a place to share your story, while being surrounded by peers who are also the first in their families to attend medical school. We strive to develop, strengthen, and empower a strong student network by supplying resources to and addressing the unique obstacles of navigating through medical school as a first generation medical student.
