NYMC Reflects at Museum of Jewish Heritage
 "First, do no harm," a phrase from the Hippocratic aphorisms is a straight forward directive, a promise made by physicians at the onset of their careers. But what happens when policies that masquerade as a public "health" campaign are, in reality, a system of atrocities committed in the name of science and carried out by physicians, no less? How could that happen? Students at New York Medical College (NYMC) addressed that question, and other ethical considerations after a three-part presentation that covered the arrest and trial of Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann, an overview of biomedical ethics and student interviews with Holocaust survivors at an outing to the Museum of Jewish Heritage on November 15.

D.P.T. Class of 2019 Share Their Good Works at Community Service Presentations
 Community service projects carried out by Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) students in the School of Health Sciences are a win-win. Students learn important lessons in planning, executing and assessing an activity that addresses a local or underserved community need and a host of beneficiaries gain from their hard work, skills and knowledge. This year the D.P.T. Class of 2019 shared their community service projects and outcomes with the College community on November 30 in Nevins Auditorium. They also gave first-hand and sage advice to members of the D.P.T. Class of 2020 who will build upon the success of the projects and expand their scope. Innovations to this year's projects included creating a video of the Race for Rehab course that was available for participants to view prior to the race and developing a breathing and relaxation technique brochure and assembling toiletry care packages for My Sister's Place, an organization that provides shelter and services to battered women and their children and victims of human trafficking.
