Founder and Editor in Chief
Océane Mauffrey, MD Candidate
In recent years, the importance of social factors on clinical medicine has come to light. In medical academia, however, the emphasis remains on basic science and clinical research. My hope through the creation of PRISM is to encourage the next generation of physicians early in their careers to recognize the value of social medicine and prioritize it not only in their practice but also in their research.
