NYMC School of Medicine (SOM) At-A-Glance

The New York Medical College (NYMC) School of Medicine (SOM) is one of the oldest and largest medical schools in the United States, dating back to its founding in 1860. Established by a group of civic leaders focused on training doctors to provide compassionate - as well as competent - medical care, SOM has grown in size and reputation. SOM's humanistic and experiential approach to medical education prepares doctors to be as compassionate as they are clinically skilled. Today, we enroll more than 800 students, employ a faculty of 2,800 and offer four degrees: M.D., M.D./M.P.H. and M.D./Ph.D.
