NYMC Welcomes Jerry L. Nadler, M.D., MACP, FAHA, FACE, Dean of the School of Medicine
 Jerry L. Nadler, M.D., MACP, FAHA, FACE, has officially taken the helm as the new dean of the School of Medicine at New York Medical College. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Nadler became inspired to find a cure for diabetes when he was ten years old. That quest to advance our understanding of diabetes led him to the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine where he worked with Dr. Daniel Mintz, the founding scientific director and chief academic officer of the Diabetes Research Institute, then to the University of Southern California for specialized endocrinology training in research and to the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, California, where he built the City of Hope's Diabetes Program. Most recently, Dr. Nadler served as professor and chair of internal medicine, the Harry H. Mansbach Endowed Chair in Internal Medicine and vice dean of research at the Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), before seeking the opportunity at New York Medical College's School of Medicine-the role which ultimately brought him back home to New York.

NYMC Honors the Legacy of Clarence Sumner Janifer Sr., M.D., Class of 1915
 New York Medical College (NYMC) hosted a program and unveiling of a plaque honoring the legacy of Clarence Sumner Janifer Sr., M.D., Class of 1915, (1886-1950), on February 27, in recognition of Black History Month. The College community gathered in Hales Lobby in the Basic Sciences Building to learn more about Dr. Janifer, a groundbreaking physician who, in 1916, became the first African American member of the Medical Society of New Jersey-the oldest professional society in the United States. Graduating from the College amidst the backdrop of World War I, he volunteered for service in the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1917, and later was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the government of France for his service. In 1948, he was named one of the 42 distinguished citizens honored in the Hall of Fame of the New Jersey Herald Times. The event was co-hosted by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Student National Medical Association.

Advanced Infant Patient Simulators Improve Access to Hands-On Pediatric Care Training
 The Clinical Skills and Simulation Center is proud to unveil two new patient simulators which will be used to facilitate pediatric training for students. Acquired through a grant from The Children's Dream Foundation- an organization aimed at improving emergency pediatric care in the Hudson Valley-the advanced infant patient simulators known as SimBabyTM and Premature AnneTM are high fidelity simulators featuring realistic anatomy and clinical functionally. SimBabyTM allows the College to provide hands-on, comprehensive pediatric emergency care training for a nine-month old patient so that students can experience a variety of clinical situations from routine clinic screenings to critical care scenarios, while Premature AnneTM is a 25-week preterm manikin that provides learners the unique opportunity to provide expert emergency care to critically ill premature babies. Read more about the advanced infant patient simulators.
