New Hyde Park Medical Student Matches Into Military Residency J
acqueline Hausner, of New Hyde Park, is one of several medical students from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (NYITCOM) Class of 2022 who matched into U.S. military residencies. After graduating from NYITCOM this spring, Hausner will complete a general surgery residency with the U.S. Navy at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. After medical school, physicians must complete a residency training program and obtain a medical license to practice in the United States and become board certified in a specialty. Medical residencies last three to five years for primary care physicians, with other specialties requiring additional years. While the “civilian” match takes place in March, medical students who have committed to military service for their residency are matched a few months earlier. These future physicians will take the military oath of office at NYITCOM’s hooding ceremonies this spring and begin their
graduate medical education in conjunction with service to their country. Physicians enlisted in the military deliver healthcare services to military personnel and their families and work in a variety of settings, including hospital ships and international medical centers, among others. Much like civilian doctors, their daily responsibilities include treating patients, diagnosing illness and prescribing medicine. Military physicians may also participate in international relief and humanitarian efforts, helping to care for the victims of natural disasters and other events requiring medical stability assistance. New York Institute of Technology’s six schools and colleges offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs in in-demand disciplines including computer science, data science, and cybersecurity; biology, health professions, and medicine; architecture and design; engineering; IT and digital technologies; management; and energy and sustainability.
