Description
NYCOM boasts an extensive clinical education network encompassing hospitals in New York, northern New Jersey and Connecticut. These programs offer outstanding opportunities for training in nationally recognized hospitals with long-standing teaching traditions.

Mission
Statement
The New York College of Osteopathic Medicine of the New York Institute of Technology is com-mitted to training osteopathic physicians for a lifetime of medical practice and learning based on established science and critical thinking, as well as integrating osteopathic philosophy, principles
and practice. The college is committed to fostering careers in primary care and scholarly pursuit of new knowledge concerning human health and disease. The focus is on the health care problems of the inner city and rural communities. NYCOM provides a firm educational foundation as part
of a continuum of learning that includes post-doctoral education. This foundation will provide the osteopathic physician with the means to be a competent and compassionate member of the
osteopathic medical profession, and to contribute to society and to the profession by the application of new knowledge, as well as through practice, teaching and administration.

Curricular Offerings
Curriculum development at NYCOM is a dynamic process guided by the college’s mission to educate physicians in a continuum of medical education. Students may choose from two curricular options: an innovative Lecture-Discussion Based (LDB) track that integrates biomedical and clinical sci-ences, along with continuous didactic “threads” delivered according to a systems-based approach; or a problem-based curriculum, the Doctor Patient Continuum (DPC), whose cornerstone is small-group, case-based learning. Computer-assisted instruction includes a state-of-the-art Patient Simulation Facility. Clerkships in the third and fourth years of the continuum provide a variety of clinical exposures and experiences, from one-on-one preceptorships in physicians’ private prac-tice to serving as team members in tertiary care hospitals. Integration of structural evaluation and osteopathic manipulative medicine is encouraged throughout all clerkships. Awareness of psycho-social factors, legal issues and ethical concerns is fostered throughout the educational continuum.
