*Why Medicine: “Hannah Montana said it best, It's the best of both worlds! I get to meet and serve people from a variety of different backgrounds while having the opportunity to demonstrate change for those who are jeopardized within our society.”
*Favorite thing about NYITCOM-AR: “Might as well beat a dead horse, its the people ! Jonesboro is one a kind in many ways, but especially when it comes to the fellowship shared among the COM and community.”
*Best advice for incoming students & 1st Years: “The time will go by faster than you think so work hard, have fun, and remember that mind, body, and spirit comes first!”

Don’t worry we know you’ve been waiting for episode seven of ✨The Ambassador✨well, here it is! Today’s Student Ambassador: Ashley McCray

*Why Medicine: “Medicine is a gateway to helping improve the lives of others by combatting the things that can disrupt our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. I love being part of that movement.”
*Favorite thing about NYITCOM-AR: “Coming from a large city, I like the tranquility of being in a small town. I also love my classmates. Every single one of them is incredible in their own unique way.”
*Best advice for incoming students & 1st Years: “Don't put your life on hold for medical school. Find balance and enjoy it while you're in it.”

Episode six of ✨The Ambassador✨is sure to be a hit! Today’s Student Ambassador: David Mathews

*Why Medicine: “Prior to medical school, I worked many years in the corporate world but felt disconnected from my community and unfulfilled as a person. Medicine, however, offers me the opportunity to embrace my community to help patients improve their own health and livestyle... And this gives me great joy.”
*Favorite thing about NYITCOM-AR: “The amazing community of fellow students and faculty.”
*Best advice for incoming students & 1st Years: “Set a daily schedule that includes three balanced meals, 30-45 mins of moderate-strenuous exercise, and (at least) 7 house of sleep a night and stick to it! Your strength and health are paramount to achieving success in medical school. Oh, and get yourself a second monitor... Life saver!”
