Graduate Medical Education
Graduate Medical Education (GME) consists of the residency and fellowship programs that prepare medical graduates to become competent, compassionate board-certified physicians in the specialty or subspecialty of their choice. With approximately 500 residents and fellows in 25+ programs – including two graduate dental education programs – New York Medical College (NYMC) has created a large GME consortium of teaching hospitals in New York and New Jersey. Our GME programs provide four essential ingredients:
- Expert, board-certified faculty
- Extensive and varied clinical experiences
- Academic support and resources
- Opportunities to participate in clinical and translational research
The School of Medicine sponsors at least one residency program in most major medical specialties and subspecialties; these opportunities are based at academic medical centers, university hospitals and other hospitals and health care agencies.
NYMC Residency Programs
Because GME is an essential component in the continuum of physician education, NYMC sponsors GME programs and considers its sponsorship central to the School of Medicine’s mission of providing excellence in medical education specialties and subspecialties.
Additional residencies and subspecialty fellowships accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are sponsored by medical centers, hospitals and health care institutions based on an assessment of available faculty, clinical and educational resources, as well as the medical needs of the community.
The College and its major affiliates formed the NYMC Medical Education Consortium in 1992 to ensure uniformly high-quality educational programs, and we continue to uphold this promise. As the ACGME-designated sponsor of the GME programs, NYMC assumes the ultimate responsibility for its programs.
The College complies with the institutional requirements of the ACGME and ensures that its GME programs comply with the Program Requirements of the specific specialty or subspecialty.

Residency Programs at Affiliated Hospitals
