AISGW/AIMS Joint Discussion with Front-line Doctors on COVID-19 Health Issues
Monday, June 08, 2020, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM EDT
Category: AISGW Events

Please join us for a discussion on COVID-19 health issues as they affect plans to return to campus in our schools. We will be joined by Dr. Lucy McBride (Internist with Foxhall Internists in D.C.) and Dr. Jason Goldstein (pediatrician with Pavilion Pediatrics in Lutherville, MD). This program is intended for the nurses and health care professionals working in our schools, but we welcome anyone who is interested in learning more about what front-line doctors are learning about the virus and how to best prepare for bringing students, faculty and staff back together. Dr. McBride joined us earlier this week as part of a program on health and safety considerations in returning to school, which included facilities planning; this discussion is meant to focus solely on the medical aspects of that return.

Lucy McBrideDr. Lucy McBride was born and raised in Washington, DC. She graduated with honors from National Cathedral School, Princeton University, and Harvard Medical School. She did her medical training--internship and residency--at Johns Hopkins Hospital, then spent several years on the Emergency Medicine faculty at Hopkins.

Since 2006, she has practiced internal medicine at Foxhall Internists, PC, with special interests in hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and women’s health. Her focus is on treating the whole person, addressing mental and physical health in tandem to optimize health and wellbeing.  Since the COVID pandemic hit in March 2020, she's been writing a daily newsletter to her patients, and it has gone "viral." She's now reaching thousands of people around the country and overseas with her daily missives: real-time, fact-based medical information and guidance on getting through the pandemic, physically and mentally. Lucy is board certified in Internal Medicine. She lives in the District of Columbia with her husband and three teenage children (all products and beneficiaries of DC independent schools).

Jason GoldsteinDr. Jason Goldstein began his formal education at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to beginning his medical training he was involved in several youth development projects in the San Francisco Mission district where he served as director of education at a non-Profit organization Youth in Action. He was then awarded a CORO Fellowship, a leadership training and public affairs fellowship through which he developed a youth advocacy platform for the Center for Youth Development. He moved to Baltimore in 1997 to attend medical school at Johns Hopkins University, and remained at Johns Hopkins to complete his residency in pediatrics. Following residency, Jason worked as an emergency room physician at GBMC for a year. Jason won the Johns Hopkins Medical Student Teaching Award in 2004.  He is board certified in pediatrics and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He and his wife have three young children.
