Historical Footman Statues Restored and Returned to NYMC Campus
 
There are new faces on campus, the frog-footman and fish-footman, two characters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The restored statues that used to adorn the pediatric tuberculosis hospital, now home of the Sunshine Cottage Administration building, were put in place to brighten the spirit and speed the recovery of the sick children. Those whimsical animals now have a new home along the walkway that leads to Dana Road.
Today, those fanciful creatures represent our College's commitment to caring for the complete person and quietly convey the important message to treat the whole patient - body, mind and spirit.

Peer to Peer Committee Announces New Professionals of NYMC
 The School of Medicine Peer to Peer (P2P) Committee developed Professionals of NYMC to provide a forum for students to recognize each other as peer role models and showcase students who demonstrate the ideals valued most as future health care professionals. The initiative aims to recognize students who embody the school's core graduation competencies, including outstanding acts of patient care, interpersonal and communication skills, collaboration, and professionalism. Its purpose is to inspire all members of the NYMC community to make a positive difference in the lives of others. During each selection period, one selected winner per class will receive recognition in their Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) during application to residency.
