Finding out where they will fulfill their medical residencies can be a dream come true for aspiring physicians.
After months of waiting and wondering if they would find their perfect match, students at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine in Mineola took part in the nationwide ceremony known as Match Day – the day when future doctors learn the location of their residencies.
The 24 member class of 2024 will be the third graduating class of the Mineola medical school, which recently received a major donation from Home Depot founder Ken Langone and his wife Elaine, and was renamed after Dean Robert I. Grossman. The school is the only one in the country to offer a three-year, tuition-free medical degree focused on training primary care physicians for all of its students.
