Great Neck resident Andria Coopersmith (left) was recently selected to receive the prestigious Maimonides Award fromTouro College School of Health Sciences (SHS) where she completed her degree in the physician assistant program through Winthrop University Hospital.
The award recognizes an outstanding student in each of the school’s health sciences programs, which also include occupational therapy, physician assistant (PA), and speech and language pathology. John Rongo, director of Touro’s PA program, praised Coopersmith, saying she had, “stood out consistently in her academic and clinical achievements.”
In addition, Coopersmith attained high marks on evaluations from teachers and peer recommendations, and has been called “a doer,” and a student with “a curious intellect.” Dr. Joseph Tommasino (in photo, right) chair of the department of the physician assistant program added, “Andria’s endeavors have demonstrated the highest professional ideals of a health sciences professional.”
