Downstate Health Sciences University is located in the heart of the borough of Brooklyn, the largest of the five boroughs of New York City, with a population of almost 2.6 million. By population, Brooklyn is the eighth largest county and equivalent to the fourth largest city in the United States.
The College of Medicine traces its origin back to 1860. The school revolutionized medical education in the United States by rejecting the practice of training physicians exclusively in university classrooms and bringing the teaching of medicine to the hospital bedside
for the first time. In 1950 the school joined the State University of New York.
Today, SUNY Downstate includes Colleges of Medicine and Nursing, and Schools of Health Professions, Graduate Studies, and Public Health, with a total student enrollment of over 1800 students. The College of Medicine has many distinguished alumni, and
in 2017 ranked 11th nationally in the number of alumni who hold faculty positions in academic medical centers. Throughout its history, SUNY Downstate has contributed pioneering advances to medicine.
