New York Institute of Technology recognizes the student leaders who assist the university's Academic Success and Enrichment team, including those who serve as Peer Tutors, Peer Success Guides, and Supplemental Instruction Leaders. Peer tutors are trained students who help to provide their peers with one-on-one, convenient, and interactive support in the courses where they have demonstrated success. The Peer Success GUIDE (PSG) Program pairs first-year undergraduate students with a sophomore, junior, or senior student, who provides them with both social and academic support during their first year, helping to direct them to the many services and resources available at New York Tech. Supplemental Instruction Leaders are undergraduate students who have already passed a selected course with a grade of A- or A, and who possess strong time management and organizational skills. Among other responsibilities, these students prepare structured sessions that review and reinforce difficult material introduced in class.

Future physicians from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine's (NYITCOM) Class of 2023 have matched into U.S. military residencies. While the "civilian" match will take place on March 17, 2023, medical students who have committed to military service learned of their residency matches in December and January, as is customary. After graduating from medical school this spring, NYITCOM's newest military physicians will begin their Graduate Medical Education (GME) in conjunction with service to their country. This spring, they will take the military oath of office at NYITCOM's 2023 hooding ceremonies. Licensed physicians entering the armed forces typically begin their rank as captain or major in the Army and Air Force and lieutenant or lieutenant commander in the Navy, though ranks can vary based on education, training, and experience. Officer training for military physicians ranges from two to 14 weeks based on the branch in which they serve. Most military physicians enlist for a minimum of three years. Military physicians deliver healthcare services to military personnel and their families and work in various settings, including hospital ships and international medical centers. Physicians enlisted in the military may also participate in international relief and humanitarian efforts, helping to care for the victims of natural disasters and other events requiring medical stability operations. U.S. Army matches include: Robert Hubley, who will complete an internal medicine residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Ariel Kleydman, who will complete a pathology residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Scott Kivitz, who will complete a urology residency at Walter Reed Medical National Military Center in Bethesda, Md.

As seen in Inside Precision Medicine, NYITCOM students working in the laboratory of cancer biologist Dong Zhang, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical sciences, call for more effective, less toxic cancer treatments. In Zhang's laboratory, the researchers are investigating treatments to target alternative lengthening of telomere (ALT) cancers. While these cancers account for only an estimated 10 to 15 percent of cancer cases, they include some of the deadliest cancers, including glioblastoma, osteosarcoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. While many cancer treatments work by targeting telomerase, an enzyme that allows for cancer cell reproduction, ALT cancers lack this enzyme and are, therefore, more challenging to treat. The only current treatment option is chemotherapy, which is known to injure healthy cells and cause unpleasant side effects. Now, the NYITCOM researchers call for a targeted, less toxic form of therapy (ALT inhibitors) and discuss the biomarkers for diagnosing ALT-positive cancers in the clinic. Student authors include Manrose Singh, Danny MacKenzie, Sanket Desai, and Noelle Batista.

New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) welcomed its newest medical students during two days of celebration in Long Island, N.Y., and Jonesboro, Ark., where members of the Class of 2026 received their first white coats.
