=Medical Ethics Society= The Yeshiva University Student Medical Ethics Society (MES) is a student run organization with the goal of promoting education and awareness of medical ethics at YU.

The after-school program provides classes and advising for students striving to pass high school courses, the New York State Regent Examinations and the SAT’s. The students range from ages 17 years old to 22 years old. The President’s Circle Tutoring Program has been providing weekly one-on-one or one-on-two tutoring sessions in biology, chemistry, history and English to aid in-class work, regents and the SAT’s. Beyond the scope of academics, the tutors have continually offered themselves as mentors and role models to the students of YABC.
