Medical Student Chosen as Student D.O. of the Year

Bryan Peterson

Bryan Peterson, a third-year NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine student, was selected from a competitive group of applicants to receive the Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine Student D.O. of the Year Award from his peers in February, joining an exceptional group of previous winners who have gone on to become respected leaders in the medical field.

Based on his impressive credentials, it’s easy to understand why Peterson was selected for this esteemed honor. In addition to his current role as Student Government Association president, he has been a student delegate for the American Osteopathic Association House of Delegates, the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association, the Council of Student Government Osteopathic Presidents, the NSU PAN-Student Government Association, and the NSU Health Professions Division Student Government Association. His community service contributions have been equally as prodigious, which is evidenced by his volunteer efforts at numerous local health fairs, his willingness to provide health care education to students at local elementary schools, and his selflessness in building homes for those in need through Habitat for Humanity.

“As our SGA president, Bryan’s level of commitment to bettering our school stands far and above any other student in his class,” said second-year student Stephanie Stephens, SGA president elect. “As a third-year student, his free time is severely limited, yet he is always available to help those who ask. He also has the position of having been selected to be the student representative to the American Osteopathic Foundation, where he is the voice of every osteopathic medical student in the country. His accomplishments over the past years at the College of Osteopathic Medicine make him uniquely qualified to be Student D.O. of the Year.”
