Medical Assistant
Graduation: May 2012
Rukhsana Hussain was interested in starting her Medical
Assistant Career and visited the Allen School. She was
now on her way in pursuing her long time dream of be-
coming a Medical Professional. She has been fulfilling
her obligations academically and has recently participat-
ed in two All Star Events where she volunteered at a
Cobble Hill High School and most recently attended a
Women to Women Health Fair located in Brooklyn. At
both locations she assisted with Triage, blood pressure
screening and obtaining patients’ medical history. She
did such a great job that the Director of Community Af-
fairs & Volunteer Services personally gave Rukhsana her
business card and requested that Rukhsana be assigned
an Internship at SUNY Downstate Medical Center Univer-
sity Hospital of Brooklyn at Long Island College Hospi-
tal. She will begin her internship on March 19, 2012 in
the Pediatrics division of SUNY Downstate.
Rukhsana also participated in our Speaker Series event
which was help on February 22, 2012., where she pro-
vided an overview of her experiences at the Allen School
to a group of her peers and classmates. Rukhsana is
well on her way to becoming that Medical Professional
that she dreamed of and we are pleased to have her rep-
resent the Allen School as the student of the month.

On Monday, Dr. Callman, instructor at
the Allen School Jamaica campus, re-
ceived a phone call from a 1st
MOD stu-
dent of his, Erica Brown, she informed
Dr. Callman of the following Incident:
“On Monday 2/20/12 I was walking to
get on the N4 Bus leaving the Allen
School. I missed my bus and got on the
next one. After being on the bus for 20
minutes and talking to my friend and
her friend Anthony, he told us he was
hungry. No more than 15 minutes later
he suffered a seizure. Everyone looked at me because I was the one in
the bright blue scrubs to help. Without giving it any thought I jumped up
and grabbed his head, then laid him on the bus floor, he bit the inside of
his tongue, but was still alert. The EMS Crew arrived and told me good
job and that I have a good teacher and keep up the good work.”
