Location
New York Medical College is situated on 54 lush acres in picturesque Valhalla, New York, and is part of the larger 565-acre Grasslands Reservation that serves as home to the Westchester Medical Center and county offices. You not only have access to clinical training opportunities right in our own backyard, but with Midtown Manhattan just a quick 30-minute train ride away, you also have access to some of the most prestigious medical institutions in New York City and the tri-state region. Our location allows our students to treat and work with culturally and economically diverse populations, and pursue a wide range of career, medical residency and internship opportunities.
Committed to Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity & Inclusion are central to our mission at NYMC. Historically, we were ahead of our time in admitting and graduating women and students of color, and we were the first medical school in the U.S. to create a scholarship program for students from marginalized communities.
Today, we maintain a diverse student body across race, ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as emphasize educational success for groups historically underrepresented in medicine, science and academic health programs.
52% of students self-reported as a member of an underrepresented group
$6.9M in student scholarships distributed
20% of students awarded scholarships
Focused on Compassion
An NYMC education puts an emphasis on humanistic and compassionate care. We train students to not only be skilled health professionals and competent leaders, but also to treat each patient with respect and an open heart. We teach our students to focus on each patient as an individual and see the whole person, rather than treating an illness or ailment. We know that competence and compassion go hand in hand and this balanced approach will always be part of our education.
Renowned for Research and Innovation
NYMC is a leader in innovative medical research. More than half of the College's research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We have ongoing research and sponsored programs in the areas of cardiovascular disease, cancer, neuroscience, and vaccine development, among others. At BioInc@NYMC, our health tech and biotechnology incubator, biopharma companies explore new product and technology development.
NYMC houses a state-of-the-art 21,000 square-foot Clinical Skills and Simulation Center, where students receive hands-on training in a replicated clinical setting with standardized patients and mannequins to hone clinical skills in a safe and controlled environment.
BioInc@NYMC, designated as an Innovation Hot Spot by New York State, is the only fully equipped biotechnology incubator on a health sciences college campus. In 2019, BioInc@NYMC doubled in size, offering additional square footage of shared and collaborative space to support biotech/medtech startups advance health innovation in the Hudson Valley.
World-Class Resources
Our Centers and Institutes, including the Center for Disaster Medicine, are resources that either explore medical and scientific research with direct clinical application or conduct real-world training for population safety. Our Clinical Skills and Simulation Center gives students access to interactive training programs and realistic examination rooms to prepare for real-life clinical situations. Finally, our core facilities, including the Behavioral Phenotyping Core Facility and Flow Cytometry Core Facility, offer state-of-the-art medical technology for advanced research studies.
