The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine/NYIT is a pre-college academic enrichment program designed to prepare students for careers in science, technology, engineering, math, health-related fields, and the licensed professions.  STEP seeks to increase the representation of minority and/or economically disadvantaged students, from grades nine through twelve, in acquiring the skills necessary to pursue pre-professional or professional education programs.

The objective of the program is to stimulate and maintain these students’ interest in career development opportunities in medicine and the health care professions.
