NYMC Administers USMLE Step 1
On August 13, New York Medical College (NYMC) was one of 38 medical schools across the United States to administer the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1, which created additional testing opportunities for students. Administered to students at the end of their second year of medical school, the USMLE Step 1 -- the first part of the USMLE -- aims to assess whether medical school students can apply important concepts of the foundational sciences, which are fundamental to the practice of medicine. Due to the state-mandated stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines implemented because of COVID-19, many students had their original test dates delayed or canceled.

NYMC Hosts Writing Workshop to Empower Students to Use Their Written Voice
More than 60 students from New York Medical College (NYMC) and the Touro College and University System participated in the Student Workshop: The Craft of Op-Ed Writing, on August 19, presented by the NYMC Office of Public Relations. The Zoom workshop was created, amidst the nationwide protests against deep-rooted racial inequity, to empower students to use their written voice to express themselves and engage in dialogue. Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A., chancellor and chief executive officer, met with College's leaders across various programs and schools to challenge them to find new ways to improve diversity and inclusion for the NYMC community. The Office of Public Relations had already been working with faculty to sharpen their op-ed writing skills. "We realized we had this perfect opportunity to share these writing "tools" with our students so they too could lend their diverse voices to the ongoing dialogue," said Jennifer Riekert, M.B.A., vice president of communications and strategic initiatives.
