Achievements Honored at Student Awards Ceremony
Kuiatkovsky, Triplet Receive Dr. Matthew
Terry Scholarships
OMS-I Jacob Triplet
and
OMS-II Milla Kuiatkovsky
were the recipients of the Dr. Matthew A. Terry Scholar-

to honor first- and second-year medical students who
epitomize virtues such as scholastic excellence, service to
the school, empathy, and congeniality. The Dr. Matthew
A. Terry Scholarship Endowment, which was the brain-
child of the Department of Family Medicine, serves as a
fitting tribute to NSU-COM students who embody the
true spirit of an osteopathic practitioner.
