“As one of the top nursing programs in New York State, this is a fitting partnership for SUNY Downstate and Old Westbury,” said SUNY Downstate President Wayne J. The education provided by Downstate is excellent, and we look forward to seeing our students excel once they enter these programs.” “The number of opportunities available may not be large, but we believe having this relationship will provide an incentive to those students who have a true passion and inclination for these fields. “Developing pathways like these for our students is of critical importance so they can access these important opportunities in the medical field,” said SUNY Old Westbury President Calvin O. “I look forward to seeing more partnerships between Downstate Medical and our other campuses, and to SUNY’s growing role in strengthening the state’s healthcare system.” “At a time when our nation’s healthcare needs are becoming increasingly complex, these campuses are working together to build up our healthcare workforce and provide more opportunities to our students,” said Chancellor Johnson. The partnership is the first within the SUNY system by Downstate, which intends to establish more agreements with other campuses.
