Medical Student Research Forum Posters

In the beginning of 2020, the United States experienced a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. This shortage of PPE partially contributed to healthcare providers contracting COVID-19. In response to the PPE crisis, UC Davis medical students organized the UC Davis COVID-19 Response Team and collaborated with MedSupplyDrive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created in March 2020 to address PPE shortages. MedSupplyDrive regional coordinators worked with medical student volunteers to address the PPE shortage by collecting PPE from the community and distributing it to hospitals and clinics in need.
