SUNY Downstate Medical Center is one of the forerunners in The Health Care Industry. This institution provides a variety of health care services and opportunities to Brooklyn and the surrounding Boroughs.Both My daughter I have received optimum care from the medical staff at downstate. Judging from the level of care we received I would want to be trained by this institution, I believe that the best way to emulate good practices, is to shadow the person/s providing it;to do so I would recommend volunteering within this organization, getting hands-on training from the professionals here.

Basically, when you are doing volunteer services at SUNY Downstate Medical, you have a lot of chances to adapt and to get into the program that you want to study.
