Honoring Their Positive Impact

On May 2, the College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) recognized seven alumni and supporters for their positive impact on the education of future physicians and significant contributions to the field of medicine at its annual Alumni Awards held at NYIT de Seversky Mansion on the Long Island campus.

Dean Nicole Wadsworth, D.O., noted that many of NYITCOM’s achievements—including the 100 percent match rate achieved by the Class of 2023; robust, recognized research departments; and strong relationships with external clinical partners—would not be possible without the actions and support of NYITCOM’s network of alumni and friends.

“Your work inspires and supports each class of osteopathic medical students that come after you. Your commitment to those future physicians and to NYITCOM has helped shape our past, and I look forward to working with each of you to shape our future,” said Wadsworth.
