New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) at Arkansas State University (A-State) celebrated 115 new physicians at its commencement and hooding ceremony, which was held at the A-State Fowler Center.
The NYITCOM at A-State Class of 2023 arrived in Jonesboro in 2019 as the fourth class on the medical school’s Arkansas campus. Their second semester of medical school coincided with the onset of a global pandemic, which brought unprecedented challenges that also uniquely bonded the group.

Nora Gibbons, MD, recently joined Washington Regional Eureka Springs Family Clinic, where she provides comprehensive care for adults and children of all ages.
Chris Blair, MBA, BSN, has been named as chief executive officer (CEO) of Northwest Medical Center — Bentonville.
