This past school year, Dr. Roya Samuels, a Yeshiva Har Torah parent and Assistant Professor of pediatrics at Zucker School of Medicine and Dr. Allison Driansky, director of the Community Pediatrics rotation for pediatric residents at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, partnered the school with a quality improvement project at the hospital.
The collaboration eventually developed into a multi-stage project, dubbed the “YHT Scrub Club.”
Pediatric residents visited the school initially to observe common hygiene practice among students and faculty, returned to do a full day educational intervention, and then returned again to reinforce healthy habits and monitor compliance with recommendations.
Both the school and hospital are excited to continue this model with future projects to educate YHT students, including anti-bullying and healthy eating
campaigns.
