Infection Prevention Team | Feedback Form

The Student Infection Prevention (IP) reps, meet with the academic IP team weekly to ensure that student concerns are voiced and addressed. The physicians on the IP team are Dr. Forsyth, Dr. Parkas, and Dr. Solomon. (Please note that this team is different from Mount Sinai’s institutional IP team, which along with the deans of medical and graduate education makes final decisions regarding curriculum and infection prevention policy). Please email the IP team members with any questions or concerns!

• IP will be sending out updated data on a semi-regular basis, so be on the lookout for more information in the future!
• Proper hand hygiene, social distancing, and mask-wearing remain critical. Masks are now required in all areas across campus (including Aron Hall common areas, hallways, and elevators) to keep everyone safe. The updated guidelines can be found here.
• We are pleased to announce that a surgical mask dispenser has been installed in Aron Hall shortly to help with masking efforts. As a reminder, when in Aron Hall common spaces, please wear a mask!
