85.950 Mental Health Services for Medical Students
MSSNY will encourage Medical Schools in New York State to provide confidential in-house mental health services at no cost to students, without billing health insurance, and to set up programs to educate both students and staff about burnout, depression, and suicide. MSSNY will also encourage Medical Schools in New York State to offer affordable, confidential off-site counseling.
MSSNY will bring this resolution to the AMA so that the AMA can recommend that the AAMC strengthen their recommendations to all the medical schools to mandate these services for our medical students. (HOD 2019-104)
