Prepare to Heal With Skill and Confidence

When you graduate from New York Institute of Technology, you’ll enter the healthcare field with every tool in your belt.

Thanks to careful training starting in simulation spaces, extensive clinical experience at leading regional healthcare facilities focusing on serving diverse populations, combined with opportunities for cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research, you’ll become a forward-thinking professional ready to provide expert care and lead through innovation and compassion.

We’ve been influencing the medical field for over 40 years. Founded in 1977, our medical school has grown to become one of the nation’s largest osteopathic training institutions.

Through our varied partnerships, you’ll work alongside local health providers in Ghana or under expert supervision at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and other leading clinical locations, reinforcing your skills and broadening your perspective.
