@DavidBroderDO@NYITCOMDO Of course. I would describe you as an enthusiastic contributor to the scholarly exchange of opinions and occasional facts on X.
An important reminder that not everything that matters in medicine can be captured by a number. The challenge is knowing when metrics are serving the mission—and when they become the mission.

Medicaid financing eventually reaches the bedside.
For medical students, this is not abstract policy. It shapes patient access, hospital stability, and clinical training.
New York’s Medicaid budget is not a fix. It is a delay.
Audition rotations are not about being perfect.
Be prepared. Be reliable. Be kind.
Programs can teach knowledge. They can’t teach professionalism, work ethic, and teamwork nearly as easily.
Make it easy for them to picture you as their future colleague.

For a strong recommendation letter @NYITCOMDO , don’t wait until the last minute. Tell faculty early about your interest and ask for feedback. This gives them time to observe your work, since strong letters are built over weeks, not minutes.
Great food, great company, and plenty of reasons to celebrate! NYITCOM staff gathered in the Medical Quad for our Staff Appreciation BBQ, enjoying an afternoon of food, fun, and connection.

After many years of fit-testing medical students, I've noticed a shift: before COVID, it was just another orientation station. Today, students pay close attention. A pandemic taught an entire generation that PPE isn't theoretical—it's personal.

Clinical training is not simply about accumulating patient encounters. It is about developing the judgment, reflection, and insight to learn from each one.
A new article highlights 3-year accelerated medical school programs. From an education perspective, they can work well for a select group of students, but they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution.
