Supplies for Frontline Medical Residents in NYC
Donation protected
Hi Everyone,
Academic hospitals around the world would not run without the help of medical residents and fellows who care for patients tirelessly day and night. However, most people do not know that these "doctors in training" are paid a minimal stipend, which comes close to minimum wage if accounting for the number of hours that they work. Now, directly on the frontline of this pandemic, these heroes are too busy to eat, drink, or take care of themselves, and many are falling sick as a result. Our hospitals would not function without these critical staff even in the best of times. 100% of this fund will be donated directly to residents and fellows in frontline fields (Emergency Med, Internal Med, Pulm/Critical Care) to pay for midnight meals and wellness events that these heroes deserve.
Thank you sincerely,
Dr. Chen Fu, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine
NYU Grossman School of Medicine
