 Dear NYMC School of Medicine Alumni,
Welcome to Alumni Connections where we will share the news and accomplishments of the NYMC School of Medicine. We are a vital community of students, alumni, faculty, and friends that extends far beyond our 54-acre physical campus in Valhalla, New York. Sharing the NYMC community's many accomplishments and activities--from life-changing research to student scholarship, and from career milestones to social gatherings and reunions--helps us strengthen our sense of being an extended family. We welcome input and ideas from all of our alumni, so please feel free to share updates and announcements. And please tell us the kind of items and stories that you would like to see featured in Alumni Connections by reaching us via email.
All the best from the NYMC School of Medicine!
Sincerely,
D. Douglas Miller, M.D., C.M., M.B.A.
