The Center for Disaster Medicine conducted three days of training for first responders from throughout the Hudson Valley, Upstate New York, and Connecticut. During the training, the Center taught a Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course, where first responders learned how to treat trauma victims under austere conditions and a Rescue Task Force (RTF) course, which taught how law enforcement officers and pre-hospital care providers can operate as a team. Utilizing the concepts and principles of TECC and RTF, the first responders learned basic bleeding control, airway management, and victim evacuation techniques.

Students from the NYMC D.P.T. Class of 2025 presented their community service projects. They shared information and lessons learned through their projects in health and wellness, the Race for Rehab and global outreach.

When Tyler Van Benschoten, D.P.T. ’19, woke up on October 16, 2022, everything felt normal until about 11:30 a.m. when he noticed his heart started to race. Utilizing his professional experience and NYMC D.P.T. education, he assessed himself and found his heartbeat was irregular. He suspected atrial fibrillation. He was correct. After the cardiac event, Dr. Van Benschoten turned to writing to reduce stress and inspire others. More than 40,000 words later, a book was born. “Grateful for the Opportunity: A Journey through Self Growth” was released in June 2023, opening a new channel of communication for Dr. Van Benschoten with anyone looking to grow mentally, physically, or spiritually.
