We also welcome our new faculty members and invite you to visit us at NYCOM I- Rockefeller Building.

Sage Sayings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

As an electrician controls the electrics currents, so an Osteopath controls the life currents and revives natural forces.

Take the course of wisdom, study to understand bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood supply, and everything pertaining to this human engine, and if your work be well done, you will have it under perfect control.

Schnucker R.V. Early Osteopathy in the words of A. T. Still. Kirksville, Missouri: The Thomas Jefferson University Press, 1991. P.14
