Dear Friends of New York Medical College (NYMC),

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” - Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

The opening lines of Dickens’ novel are an apt description of academic health care and biomedical science in 2021-2022.

“It was the best of times…it was the age of wisdom…”

Never in the history of humankind have we gone from the identification of a new infectious disease to the design, construction, testing and dissemination of a new effective vaccine with such extraordinary speed.

“It was the worst of times…it was the age of foolishness….”

The wholesale frontal assault on scientific knowledge and the value of expert opinion, accompanied by the promulgation of nonsensical pseudoscience and false claims, have distressed the medical and scientific communities.

“It was the spring of hope….”

In troubled times for public health and scientific knowledge, we can take hope from the fact that institutions that exist for the generation, conservation and dissemination of knowledge, like NYMC, have stood steadfastly at their posts, doing what needs to be done to educate, conduct research and serve the sick.

Philanthropy is a fundamentally hopeful act. Thank you for being part of that act of hope by supporting NYMC at this year’s Founder’s Dinner.

Sincerely yours, Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A. Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to New York Medical College’s 2022 Founder’s Dinner. Your generous support of this event, along with your dedication to NYMC, allow us to continue educating outstanding health care professionals and biomedical scientists.

Our College community seems to have rounded the bend of the COVID-19 pandemic and all that it has entailed. In graduate health professions education, however, it is our responsibility to maintain fidelity to core principles while continually adapting to changing circumstances. We continue to receive a record number of applications for admission to the School of Medicine and enroll classes with the highest academic achievements. Similarly, our Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences welcomed a new class of Ph.D. candidates with record-high academic metrics.

Our faculty generated and published a vast amount of knowledge about the causes, prevention and treatment of human disease and disability. We also conducted vital clinical and basic science research into the management of the pandemic, while also conducting online symposia to educate health care providers and the general public about not only developments in the pandemic but also its medical and public health management. Our clinicians have remained on the front lines of patient care at all times, while our faculty have appeared on television, been heard on the radio, and were quoted in print media, dispensing sound advice. In all, we have confirmed the truth that our College has a proud past, a vital present, and an exciting future.

Tonight, we celebrate several crucial parts of the NYMC story and honor a number of outstanding faculty. We thank you for being part of tonight’s important stories.

Alan Kadish M.D. President

Over the next 20 years, Dr. Ayala's dedication and commitment to medical education centered on student affairs and student services for the School of Medicine (SOM) and for the College as a whole. These areas included SOM student affairs, financial planning, registrar, residential life and activities, diversity, academic support, mental health and wellness, health services and support for students with disabilities. During her tenure as a senior leader at NYMC, she created a comprehensive SOM advisory dean program modeled on a college house system in June 2014, with the goal of 100 percent of students receiving individual longitudinal career and professional mentorship.

Author of three dozen scientific papers, Dr. Belloni has been deeply involved in NYMC’s educational mission of teaching cardiovascular and gastrointestinal physiology to medical, dental, physical therapy and graduate students. He has also taught in the medical ethics program and helped create the popular research ethics course for graduate students. During his 25 years as dean of our Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (formerly known as the Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences), Dr. Belloni oversaw the creation of several very successful graduate programs including the Integrated Ph.D. Program. He has held many leadership positions with the American Physiological Society and is currently serving on the board of directors of St. Christopher’s, Inc., a social services agency focusing on adolescents with special needs.

After graduating from the NYMC School of Medicine in 1970, he completed a one-year internship at the University Hospital of San Diego County followed by a pediatrics residency at NYMC—serving as chief resident from 1972-1973. He completed a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and was recruited back to NYMC to set up a division of pediatric gastroenterology. As chair of the Department of Pediatrics, a role he has held since 1992, Dr. Newman has expanded research funding while serving on several committees including graduate medical education, tenure appointments and promotions, pediatrics internship selection, as well as being active in fundraising and serving on the NYMC Board of Advisors.

James J. O’Brien, Ph.D., M.A.

Vice Dean Emeritus, School of Health Sciences and Practice

Professor Emeritus of Public Health

Distinguished Service and Leadership Award Awarded for years of dedication and service to NYMC, its students, faculty and staff.

Prior to his career at NYMC, Dr. O’Brien held leadership positions in health planning and at a consortium of physicians, hospitals and health insurers to develop and implement a unified hospital data system. He joined NYMC in 1990 as senior associate dean of the School of Health Sciences and Practice (SHSP) (previously known as the Graduate School of Health Sciences). Dr. O’Brien was appointed as acting dean of the School between November 2003 and January 2005 and then served as vice dean of SHSP until his retirement in 2012. As vice dean, Dr. O’Brien was involved in many aspects of the School’s operations, including academic, student and financial affairs. He contributed to the attainment of the School’s initial accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health as well as the College’s reaccreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Dr. O’Brien was involved in the establishment of the School’s degree programs in physical therapy and speech-language pathology, as well as in the establishment of distance education and the hiring of many of the School’s faculty.

Dear Dr. Newman,

As it says in the Ethics of the FathersChapter 4 Verse 1—

“Who is honored? He that honors mankind”

You have been my teacher, you have been my mentor but most importantlyyou have been my friend.

There has been no one who has honored his patients, colleagues and friends with the dignity you have displayed.

Looking forward to our future endeavors and many more rounds of golf together.

With much respect and gratitude. Marty Katzenstein

P.S. Shout out to Randi & Paulette for tolerating the two of us over the years

WE RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THANE ROSENBAUM

Distinguished Professor at Touro University.

His incisive and penetrating publicly broadcast live interviews, with world renown political and intellectual personalities as part of Touro’s Forum on Legal and Public Affairs, has placed Touro at the cutting edge of American, Israeli, and Jewish discussion and thought.

Professor Rosenbaum’s essays in the mass media about the often misguided and hypocritical statements issued by various secular and Jewish organization’s “ leaders”, speaks out loud, to what many of us only dare think.

We hope Professor Rosenbaum will continue his fearless and courageous platform of interviews, essays, and defending the values of the Touro University community, in the international arena.
