New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) offers medical education in two scenic campus locations on Long Island, N.Y. and Jonesboro, A.R.
The beautiful, wooded Long Island campus of NYITCOM provides easy access to New York City. State-of-the-art research and clinical institutions on Long Island and in New York City enhance the educational experience and opportunities. The campus facilities occupy most of a three-building complex: The Nelson A. Rockefeller Academic Center houses an auditorium, the Dean's office, the medical library, faculty offices, student study spaces, small group learning classrooms, and research laboratories. In addition, the offices of the Vice President for Health Sciences and Medical Affairs and the Academic Technologies and Media Services Groups are located in this building.
Also located on the NYITCOM Long Island campus: the W. Kenneth Riland Academic Health Care Center houses a large auditorium, the anatomy laboratories, several faculty research laboratories and offices, animal facilities, a cafeteria, and the Center for Simulation in Medicine, which trains and assesses students from their first year to their graduation in a patient simulation learning and assessment center.
Adjacent to the W. Kenneth Riland Academic Health Care Center is the Hannah and Charles Serota Academic Center, which houses a newly renovated state-of-the-art auditorium and study center and a modern osteopathic manipulation teaching laboratory. This facility also includes faculty and administrative offices and several conference rooms. In addition, students have access to campus playing fields, basketball and tennis courts, campus fitness center, and running track.
NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) at Arkansas State University, located in Jonesboro, A.R., is NYITCOM's newest location and offers advanced academic technology—linking classrooms, faculty, and students in New York and Arkansas. NYITCOM-Arkansas is housed in Wilson Hall, a beautiful art deco style building, which has been fully renovated with state-of-the-art facilities to optimize premier medical education. The site also includes osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and anatomy labs, as well as patient simulation and robotics labs. During clerkship and resident training in leading hospitals and ambulatory health networks throughout the state and region, the Jonesboro campus of NYITCOM provides opportunities to work and learn in urban and rural communities in one of the most medically underserved areas of the country. In addition, this campus offers the best of Arkansas State University's resources, including on- and off-campus housing, dining services, libraries, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a health center, and access to athletic and cultural events.
The NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine medical libraries, at both the New York Long Island campus and Arkansas Jonesboro campus locations, house thousands of volumes of journals, textbooks, and other references and subscribe to hundreds of online resources. Access and training is available to all College of Osteopathic Medicine community members in person and online. The libraries also house photocopiers that require the use of the student's ID card instead of currency. The medical libraries are open for extended hours and professional librarians are available to advise, assist, and train all patrons.
At the Long Island campus medical library, students may borrow a laptop computer for limited time frames. Salten Hall Library—the main campus library—provides access to thousands of non-medical books, research literature, and other general resources.
All College of Osteopathic Medicine buildings are equipped with wireless network access.
Ambulatory Centers
NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine operates two primary care centers in New York. The on-campus facility in Long Island, N.Y. is known as the Academic Health Care Center, and the facility in Central Islip, N.Y. is called the Family Health Care Center. These centers are staffed by faculty from NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The Academic Health Care Center provides clinical services geared toward students, faculty, staff, and their family members, in addition to the general community. These services include Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine, Neurology, Genetic Counseling, Psychology, Acupuncture, Breast Health Services, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. In addition, the Academic Health Care Center also houses the Adele Smithers Parkinson's Disease Treatment Center, and the Centers of Sports Medicine, Behavioral Health, and Biomedical Innovation. In Central Islip, the Family Health Care Center provides primary care, including pediatrics, for the student body, faculty, staff, and the community.
The Adele Smithers Parkinson's Disease Treatment Center provides innovative comprehensive treatment, promotes community awareness and Parkinson's disease education, fosters scientific studies and medical research, and perhaps most importantly, helps patients achieve and maintain the best quality of life possible while coping with their disease.
The Center for Sports Medicine has a mission to deliver high-quality and personalized care in order to prevent injury, optimize performance, and provide wellness guidance and support. Advanced equipment in the Sports Medicine Center allows for evaluation of body composition, metabolic testing, bone density and fracture risk, lean muscle mass, adipose and visceral fat percentages, as well as the maximal rate of oxygen consumption.
The NYITCOM Center for Behavioral Health is located in the Academic Health Center on the Long Island campus. Staffed by a psychiatrist and psychologists, the center provides comprehensive mental health programming to students. The center's programming seeks to promote discussion and raise awareness of the mental health needs of the medical school community through research, educational opportunities, and campus resources. The center's vision is to identify and meet the mental health needs and challenges of our students by offering services that focus on education, research, treatment, and prevention, reducing stigma and offering hope.
The Center for Biomedical Innovation has a mission to innovate, create, envision, and invent. Using state-of-the-art technologies including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, robotics, 3-D technologies, and imaging, the center will develop and apply novel technologies for biomedical discovery, diagnostics, and treatment. The Center utilizes lab spaces in both the Riland Building, as well as lab space in NYIT de Seversky Mansion on campus.
