As we embark on a new year, NYMC reflects on 2022 and celebrates all of its accomplishments and challenges met while looking forward to a happy, healthy 2023. View the NYMC 2022 Year in Review Video.


Public Health Program Receives Seven-Year CEPH Accreditation


The public health program in the SHSP recently earned the maximum term of accreditation—seven years—by the Council for Education on Public Health (CEPH). The accreditation extends through December 31, 2029, with an interim report due in October 2023. CEPH is an independent agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and public health programs outside schools of public health. Read the full article on the CEPH accreditation.

Diversity in Research Study Group Inspires Student Research Collaborations Across a Variety of Topics


Launched by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion in 2022, the Diversity in Research Study Group has received an extremely enthusiastic response from medical students at NYMC, and even from other medical schools, with 50 students already engaged in the group and numerous research projects underway focused on health care disparities and other important health and medical education topics. Read the full article on the study group.

NYMC Examines Virtual Interviews for Residencies Due to COVID-19 Travel Restrictions

 

Residency recruitment was one of many areas disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic, with traditional in-person interviews forced to change to a virtual format. In a nationwide study of fourth-year medical students, recently published in Family Medicine, NYMC faculty and students found that while the change in format offered financial and time-saving benefits due to the lack of need for travel, it proved challenging for students to assess their fit into the program. Read the full article on the virtual interviews.
