at New York Medical College in 1910,
[Image of three students sitting outdoors at a picnic table with a water bottle]
the graduate school was formed in 1963 and since then we've been offering both

[Speaking: Marina K. Holz, Ph.D., dean of the graduate school of biomedical sciences and professor of cell biology and anatomy]
HOLZ: New York Medical College is attractive to prospective students for several reasons. One of the reasons is because of our relatively small size. Our students get to interact closely with faculty members. Another reason, is that we truly have a world-class faculty that focus on many important areas of investigation, such as

Lyme disease research, flu vaccine research,
[Image of a man in a white coat, wearing eyeglasses, sitting in a laboratory, with computer monitors in the background]
research into concussions and speech-language pathology.

[Speaking: Victor G. Garcia, Ph.D. ’15, assistant professor of pharmacology]
GARCIA: Some of the research that we do here, we welcome them with open arms, to contact us and get a hold of us. There are current programs at New York Medical College that help foster these relationships

 and help provide students
[Video clip, continues, and then gently swirling that liquid until it all turns red]
with a small period of time that they

can come in and be with a mentor and be in the lab, and get lab experience.

[Speaking: Charles, M.D. in Basic Medical Sciences]
CHARLES: You can't possibly beat the professor's, the faculty, the staff, that are here for you, and that are here to like help you grow, help you feel special, and help you just make it through your day-to-day activities.
[Image, three students (in focus) on the lawn in the foreground, one reading, while two are looking at a laptop, and two students (out of focus) walk down a path in the background]
CHARLES: It's a family here and it's really amazing experience.
[Image, two laboratory assistants are injecting something into a small blue tube]
CHARLES: you'll get the education and that's great, but you'll also get more to come along with that.

[Speaking: Jonathan A.N. Fisher, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology]
FISHER: Mentoring and training this next generation of leaders in healthcare and biomedical research, it's something I feel pretty passionately about.
[Image of Dr. Fisher standing behind a student looking into a lighted box]
FISHER: one great thing about New York Medical College that I felt since I came here
[Image, student leaning back with hand behind head, holding neck]
is that really no student falls between the cracks.
[Video clip, of a student putting on eyeglasses]
[Video clip of student with their arms folded listening to a lecture, begins speaking, unfolds arms, and makes a gesture with the right hand, fingers open, and then all fingers come together at a point]
 
[Speaking, Kenneth M. Lerea, Ph.D., associate professor of cell biology and anatomy, assistant dean for M.S. Programs]
LEREA: The faculty are very proud of the accomplishments of all the graduates. The students have demonstrated true success
[Image of two lab assistants, wearing white coats and safety glasses, performing an experiment behind glass wall]
and brought pride to the NYMC community.

[Speaking: Elizabeth, Ph.D. in Cell Biology]
ELIZABETH: This school is really different
[Video clip of people exiting a crowded auditorium]
and is much different than my high school or my undergrad
[Image of two men looking at a whiteboard, one on the phone]
in the sense that I've never been surrounded by so many different cultures
[image of a female student on a laptop]
before and I think that's really important because you get to learn so many different facts and the different perspectives that people come from.
[Image, two men looking at a monitor with green organisms, one points to a yellow marker]
[Image, three students in white coats, laughing while holding a laptop, in front of a brick building, which reads “Medical Education Center”]
ELIZABETH: And New York Medical College is really good at bringing people together in that sense.
