School of Medicine
The NYMC School of Medicine is one of the oldest and largest medical schools in the U.S., dating back to 1860. Since then, the School of Medicine has grown in reputation and remains inclusive, trailblazing, and focused on training the next generation of physicians to provide compassionate, competent medical care.
Today, we enroll approximately 200 students each year, employ a faculty of approximately 1,700 and offer three degree tracks: M.D., M.D./M.P.H. and M.D.-Ph.D.
At the School of Medicine, you’ll go through rigorous medical training, interact with patients in diverse clinical settings and have a direct impact on the community. Your education at the School of Medicine will prepare you to match at some of the strongest residency programs in the country.
