NYITCOM-Arkansas Featured in Arkansas Business

Arkansas Business highlighted the success of NYITCOM-Arkansas in an article about the regional impact of the state’s two osteopathic medical schools. The article notes that 60 percent of NYITCOM-Arkansas graduates accept residencies in Arkansas or nearby states. In doing so, they help to ease the region’s long-term physician shortage.

“We’ve got 45 of our alumni in residency programs in Arkansas that didn’t even exist before we opened,” says NYITCOM-Arkansas Site Dean Shane Speights, D.O.

NYITCOM-Arkansas, which was the first osteopathic medical school established in the state of Arkansas, will graduate its fourth class of physicians this May.
