In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to combat its spread, the MD-PhD program leadership was unable to bring undergraduates to the Tri-I campus for the summer. However, unwilling to cancel the program entirely, and dedicated to its mission of increasing the diversity of physician-scientists, Gateways leadership opted to create a version of the program that could be delivered remotely.
The Tri-Institutional MD-PhD program's incoming class of 2020, despite the challenges of beginning their training remotely during a global pandemic, came together as a class to organize a new journal club. Taking as their focus issues of social justice and anti-racism, the students formed the club and held their meetings remotely during their first semester at the Tri-I.Danielle Isakov, first year MD-PhD student, described their motivations and activities:
