NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State

04/24/2026

We appreciate the Arkansas Medical Society for spotlighting one of our true rockstars!

Welcome to our Friday Member Feature …

Today, the Society shines a light on future physician Harrison Dean! 👏

🩺 An Arkansan through and through, Harrison graduated from the University of Arkansas and is now a fourth-year medical student at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State in Jonesboro.

With goals of pursuing general and cardiothoracic surgery, Harrison is choosing a career in medicine to “combine technical skill, problem-solving, and teaching” to make a difference for patients, as he never stops learning himself! ❤️

His love for anatomy and education even led him to spend a year teaching it to help shape future medical minds. 📚🔬

He appreciates AMS for its support of “learners and physicians who are working to improve healthcare in our state.”

🎉 AMS is proud to have you, Harrison Dean, as a student member and a future physician member. Arkansas is lucky to have you as part of its future!
