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.
