We believe in active learning by training the health science professionals of tomorrow in their specialties and in the communities where they will someday practice. That's why the College is deeply involved in its surrounding communities, holding clinics for the under-resourced, mentoring middle- and high-school students, as well as their teachers, and working with the disabled.
New York Medical College (NYMC) brings its students, its research, and its skills to neighborhoods throughout Westchester and the surrounding area.
We're advocating for people with disabilities, hosting the annual Race for Rehab, which raises funds for Achilles International, a worldwide organization that encourages people with physical challenges to participate in running events, regardless of speed, level of ability, or age.
No education can thrive in a vacuum. Great books, teachers, buildings, and equipment are not enough. Learning needs an outlet. It needs application. It needs action. NYMC provides more than education in medicine and the health sciences. It provides direct involvement in the world of medicine, public health, and biomedical sciences. It provides learning in the truest sense of the word, by engaging students in their world. It is more than a school. It is a member of the community it serves.
Through its community involvement programs and Summer Service Learning Preceptorships, the NYMC School of Medicine brings its students, research, and skills, to communities in Westchester and the surrounding area.
