NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine Alumni Awards Dinner
Welcome to the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine Alumni Awards page. Each spring, NYITCOM holds a special event to honor the outstanding achievements of our esteemed alumni and friends of New York Tech who have made significant contributions to the field of osteopathic medicine, have exemplified the values of our institution, and have played a significant role in the success of our medical school.
The NYITCOM Alumni Awards dinner serves as a platform to connect current students, faculty, and alumni and celebrate the tremendous work being done through our institution and our alumni. NYITCOM recognizes both individual achievements and the power of collective contributions to healthcare.
We created this website to continually celebrate those who have received awards at past events. Join us in recognizing their dedication, innovation, and commitment to making a lasting impact on healthcare and beyond. Past winners include leaders in healthcare, educators, and community advocates who are making significant impacts through their support of NYITCOM.
