Capitol Press Room, a daily radio program broadcast from the Capitol, and produced by WCNY radio profiled two initiatives championed by the AMSNY that are designed with a two-fold purpose:  encouraging  young people from low-income communities to pursue careers in the health sciences; and addressing the challenges of New York’s anticipated physician shortage.    Featured on the program were Jo Wiederhorn, AMSNY’s Chief Executive Officer; and a  25 year-old graduate student, Kevin Frison, who upon completion of a post-baccalaureate program at the University at Buffalo will enroll later this year at Albert Einstein School of Medicine.
