Hi everyone,</div>

<p class="elementToProof" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sanaea Bhagwagar and I are conducting the 2025 AAMC Basic Needs Study at SUNY Upstate, in collaboration with students from other medical schools. This quick survey (under 5 minutes) helps us understand how well medical students’
essential needs are being met.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The results have already led to impactful changes at other schools — like clerkship rideshare programs, expanded food access, and financial aid improvements.
We hope to bring similar support to Upstate, and your voice is crucial. </span><span style="color: black;">We are trying to reach 60% of the student body to be able to better understand our needs.</span></p>
