NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine’s STEP Day of Service

2013 @ Glen Cove High School and Wyandanch Memorial High School

An important aspect of higher education is giving back. NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine’s STEP Day of Service is a chance for our First and Second Year medical students to give back to the community. They spoke to the students at Glen Cove High School and Wyandanch Memorial High School about the importance of obtaining a higher education. Many first generation doctors, college graduates and U.S. citizens, they shared their trials and their triumphs. They encouraged the high school students to pursue their dreams whether they are in the Health and Medical field or other chosen paths.

Advice on choosing colleges close to home, or away, majors, financial aid, study habits, incorporating social life, and completing high school were some of the subjects touched on by the soon to be doctors.
