The NYMC community demonstrated exceptional generosity during Giving Tuesday on November 28, raising more than $76,300 from 81 donors making it NYMC’s most successful campaign since its inception in 2012. Matching funds were provided by Alan D. Dauer, M.D. '62, Ronald P. Gregoire, M.D. '74, and the NYMC Board of Advisors. "We are so grateful for the spirit of generosity of our donor base, including friends and alumni of NYMC. With the expansion of our Clinical Skills and Simulation Center, our students and residents will now have further access to task trainers and additional learning tools, giving them the edge in their medical training to become extraordinary future healthcare professionals," said Bess J.
