The SUNY Downstate Department of Surgery congratulates Tony Joseph, third-year student in the Brooklyn College—SUNY Downstate BA/MD Program, on his selection to the PACERS program. The PACERS (Program to Accelerate Academic Careers in Equity Research and Social Justice) program offers a unique opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of public health research through mentorship, academic enrichment, and collaborative projects.  

“I applied to PACERS to strengthen my ability to conduct data-driven research that addresses inequities in healthcare access and outcomes. Through the program, I aim to refine my research skills, build lasting professional relationships, and contribute to impactful efforts that align with my long-term goals in medicine and public health.” - Tony Joseph
