NYU Medical School

NYU School of Medicine is associated with a multitude of institutions that all contribute to our culture of service, dedication, and quality.

Bellevue Hospital is the oldest public hospital in the United States and it has been at the center of our clinical and educational mission. A flagship institution for the New York City Public Hospital System, Bellevue is all about service, about giving the best care possible to patients no matter who they are or how much money they have. Patients at Bellevue, Tisch Hospital, and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center all receive care from the same faculty, house staff, and students. That synergy, developed over more than 150 years of service, is deep in the culture of NYU and shapes everything we do.

Today, NYU Langone Medical Center also includes the Hospital for Joint Diseases and the Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine. We are dedicated to giving all patients access to the best healthcare services in the world and making sure our students are part of this institution.

This website is a hub for student activities here at the NYU School of Medicine. From well over 80 student run clubs and organizations to student government and daily student life, NYU School of Medicine is dedicated to its students and the broader community. This website is run by students, for students, because we love this school and want to make the best of it!

Medical Education of New York University Medical School

New York University School of Medicine has recently implemented the curriculum for the 21st century. The new curriculum consists of 18 months of basic science and two and a half years of clinical training. Students take the USMLE Step 1 exam after the clerkship year (with the exception of MD/PhD students, who take it before starting their PhD work). This allows students additional time to take electives, conduct research, or go on away rotations. Other features of the curriculum include NYU3T (a joint program with the New York University College of Nursing) and PLACE (Patient-Based Longitudinal Ambulatory Care Experience).

The NYU School of Medicine also offers several 5-year joint degree programs, some of which can be optionally completed in 4 years.:

• MD/MPA in Health Policy and Management (with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service)
• MD/MPH in Global Health
• MD/MBA in General Management (with the New York University Stern School of Business)
• MD/MA in Bioethics
• MD/MSc in Clinical Investigation

Since 1964, NYU School of Medicine has offered MD/PhD dual degree training through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP).

NYU Langone Medical Center, a world-class, patient-centered, integrated, academic medical center, is one of the nation's premier centers for excellence in clinical care, biomedical research and medical education. Located in the heart of Manhattan, NYU Langone is composed of four hospitals – Tisch Hospital, its flagship acute care facility; Rusk Rehabilitation; the Hospital for Joint Diseases, one of only five hospitals in the nation dedicated to orthopaedics and rheumatology; and Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, a comprehensive pediatric hospital supporting a full array of children's health services across the medical center – plus the NYU School of Medicine, which since 1841 has trained thousands of physicians and scientists who have helped to shape the course of medical history. The medical center's tri-fold mission to serve, teach and discover is achieved 365 days a year through the seamless integration of a culture devoted to excellence in patient care, education and research.

Reputation Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

For years, Johns Hopkins has been among the nation's top medical schools in the number of competitive research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health. According to U.S. News and World Report, Johns Hopkins has always ranked in the top 3 research-centered medical schools. Its major teaching hospital, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, was ranked the top hospital in the United States every year from 1991 to 2011 by U.S. News and World Report. Askmen.com ranked an M.D. from Johns Hopkins as one of the five most prestigious degrees in the world.

According to the Flexner Report, Hopkins has served as the model for American medical education. It was the first medical school to require its students to have an undergraduate degree and was also the first graduate-level medical school to admit women on an equal basis as men. Mary Elizabeth Garrett, head of the Women's Medical School Fund, was a driving force behind both of these firsts. School founder Sir William Osler became the first Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins and the Physician-in-Chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Osler was responsible for establishing the residency system of postgraduate medical training, where young physicians were required to "reside" within the hospital to better care for their patients.

Medical School Ranking

If you’re looking to study at one of the world’s top medical schools, a good starting point is the QS World University Rankings by Subject; this resource provides rankings of the world’s top 200 universities in 30 subject areas, including medicine. The ranking assesses universities based on their academic reputation, employer reputation and research citations per paper, within each subject area (more on the methodology here.)

Of the 201 universities ranked among the world’s top medical schools in 2014, almost a quarter (48) are in the US, 25 in the UK, 19 in Germany, 11 in Canada, 10 in Japan and 9 in Australia. A total of 32 countries feature in the ranking, though just 13 nations have a medical school ranked within the global top 50; the countries already mentioned are joined at this level by Denmark, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan.

Prerequisites for Medical School

The key to medical school admissions success is careful planning based on correct information. Research the schools in which you are interested. What are their admissions requirements? Keep in close contact with your pre-med advisor. Are you taking the proper classes now? With thorough research and thoughtful questions, you will benefit from the great amount of information that is available to you. By proactively seeking information, you will avoid the aggravation, disappointment, and delays that come upon finding out that you do not meet all of the necessary prerequisites.

Medical school studies build on a strong foundation in the sciences and mathematics at the premedical level. Beyond the successful fulfillment of these basic prerequisites, the Committee on Admission considers the overall quality and scope of an applicant’s undergraduate educational experience. The field of concentration for undergraduate studies and the selection of additional science and mathematics courses are the student’s personal choice and will not affect the admission process.

In addition to the academic requirements detailed below, we seek candidates who evidence the following characteristics:

1.     Academic Excellence
2.     Leadership
3.     Service, compassion and humanism
4.     Diversity
5.     Ability to work in a team (or as part of a team)

Students interested in medicine are encouraged to research the wide variety of jobs available in the health professions, to discuss the nature and demands of medicine with a pre-medical advisor or health professional, and to ask a lot of questions before embarking on the application process.

Chapter 7 of the MSAR: Getting Started, “The Admissions Decision,” describes the evaluation process in to further detail including the holistic review approach, personal attributes, experiences and metrics.

Each school's specific prerequisites, detailed annually in the MSAR® Online, is highly recommended to all prospective applicants and is available at most school libraries, premedical advising offices, and can be purchased from AAMC Publications.
