The New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State Class of 2022 hosted a donor appreciation ceremony to honor the individuals who donated their bodies for the students’ medical education. The event took place in the Wilson Hall auditorium on April 26.
Students performed music and shared reflections to show their appreciation for these individuals who are an integral part of the students’ education. NYITCOM faculty also spoke at the ceremony.
“The student doctors view the donors as their first patients, and Friday’s ceremony gives our medical students a chance to acknowledge what a meaningful contribution these individuals have made,” said Dosha Cummins, PharmD, vice chair of basic sciences at NYITCOM at A-State. “It’s a lasting gift that every medical student will remember for the rest of their professional careers.”
