Soodah Manzoor

Case Manager

Soodah is a second-year medical student at NYMC. Growing up in an immigrant family has given her insight into the challenges faced by those striving to build a better life for themselves in a new country. Her personal experiences have fueled her passion for advocacy, service, and community engagement.
Her work with underserved communities during college and her first year of medical school has been profoundly fulfilling. She is eager to collaborate with a dedicated team of clinicians and human rights organizations to provide medical evaluations for asylum seekers. She is also excited to explore the intersection of healthcare and social justice, and to understand the pivotal role physicians play in a client’s journey to asylum.
