Albert Einstein College of Medicine hosted an opening reception of its Mwezi One Exhibit on Thursday, March 21 at Forchheimer Building’s D. Samuel Gottesman Library. A collaboration between Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Pelham Lab High School, Kalamba Secondary School, Kenya, and the New York-based non-profit Kiboko Projects, the semester-long project combined community and global health experiences for rising second-year medical students, with the aim of increasing their cultural humility.
