Andrew Goldstein

Andrew completed medical school at Mount Sinai, residency in internal medicine at Columbia, and a master of public health degree from Harvard as part of the Reynolds Fellowship in social entrepreneurship with the Center for Public Leadership. He previously worked developing non-profit programs on civic engagement and for community health workers. Now Andrew is an assistant professor of medicine at NYU, doing primary care at Bellevue half time. This includes intensive primary care for people experiencing homelessness. His other time is dedicated to medical activism and organizing. This work has been on healthcare access, climate crisis, gun violence prevention, immigrant persecution, and ending inequity and abuse within the healthcare system. The main focus, aside from any specific issue, has been on civic habit building, election action, narrative shifting, escalated tactics like civil disobedience and protest, and health worker organizing. This has been with groups he founded like Progressive Doctors and On Call for Democracy, and others he has supported, like NY Doctors, Doctors for Bernie, and Equity Now Sinai
