Bowser (D) at a news conference in January. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser has hired the city’s first director of gun violence prevention, one of numerous personnel changes announced Thursday amid a surge in fatal shootings and calls from the D.C. Council to reimagine the way the District is policed. The changes include the departure of chief medical examiner Roger Mitchell Jr., a key architect of approaching crime prevention as a public health issue. Mitchell, who has also served as interim deputy mayor for public safety since August, is leaving government to become a professor and chair of pathology at the Howard University College of Medicine.

Today, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, data and anecdotal evidence now suggest we may be seeing a similar rise in demand for health and medical education. “It’s unprecedented,” said Geoffrey Young, senior director for student affairs and programs at the Association of American Medical Colleges. In the past two decades, the average yearly increase for total applications to medical schools has been about 2.5 percent, he said. This year, applications are up 18 percent over all.
