Fourteen future physicians from the Class of 2025 at New York Institute of Technology's medical school (New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine) have matched into U.S. military residencies. After graduating from medical school, physicians in the United States must complete a residency training program, obtain a medical license, and become board-certified in a specialty. Medical students committed to military service complete their residency as armed forces members. Military physicians serve in the medical corps of the U.S. Air Force, Army, or Navy, where they practice in a range of specialties, from psychiatry and urology to family medicine, anesthesiology, pediatrics, and others. These clinicians work in various settings, including hospital ships, military bases, and international medical centers, where they treat military personnel and their families. In addition, as commissioned military officers, they are called upon to provide care in high-pressure situations, including combat battles, disaster relief missions, and humanitarian efforts.

Assessments of flexibility, body composition, blood pressure, upper and lower body strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness established benchmarks for each client and trainer to create an individualized program to maintain or improve upon.
