NYSIM Highlights: Welcome to the Team!

This month we’d like to extend our warm welcomes to our new Administrative Coordinator, Emery Olson. Emery is joining the team after studying economics at the University of Massachusetts. At UMass, she was a part of the executive board for UMass For The Kids, a student organization that fundraises for a local children’s hospital. Through her collegiate work, she discovered a passion for helping further the medical field. At NYSIM, Emery will be working closely with the rest of the administrative team to ensure the center’s successful operation. NYSIM is thrilled to have Emery joining the team, and we hope you will join us in welcoming her to the NYSIM community!

We would also like to welcome Jolie Blair to the NYSIM team this month, as our newest Project Associate. Jolie recently graduated Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Health and Theater Studies. She is currently a Master of Health Administration candidate at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health. Jolie was introduced to the world of simulation at Emory University School of Medicine where she fell in love with OSCEs and their role in medical education. She currently assists the Program Manager in supporting the Standardized Patient, and External Programs at NYSIM. We are thrilled by Jolie’s enthusiasm for OSCEs and we are grateful for all she has brought to the team so far. Welcome, Jolie!
