Teeing Off for Tomorrow’s Scholars at the Golf Outing
Sunshine and clear skies made for a perfect day at the fourth annual NYMC Golf Outing and Reception on June 17 at the Saint Andrew's Golf Club. The event was the most successful to date, raising more than $200,000 with 130 golfers taking to the course, reveling in the pleasant weather as they tested their skills in a putting and hole-in-one contest. An evening reception, with more than 175 attendees, honored Kenneth Theobalds, center, a member of New York Medical College’s Board of Trustees and president and managing partner of RiverRun Partners LLC. The event was sponsored by the Board of Advisors (BOA) and chaired by Martin Katzenstein, M.D. '78, chair of the BOA, assistant dean for clinical affiliations, and associate professor of pediatrics. "I want to thank everyone for coming to to this great event at Saint Andrew's and for their support," said Dr. Katzenstein. “We were thrilled to have such a beautiful day for our annual golf outing," said Bess J. Chazhur, M.S., chief development officer and executive director of alumni relations. "The mood was fun and festive as we celebrated trustee Ken Theobalds for his longtime commitment to supporting NYMC students."

WAUSM features a preclerkship campus in Freeport, Bahamas, where students spend 20 months before moving to the U.S. for clerkships and residency, ultimately earning an M.D. degree.
