NYMC At-A-Glance

ABOUT NYMC

Founded in 1860, New York Medical College (NYMC), one of the largest private health sciences colleges in the U.S., joined Touro University (TU) in 2011 and is located in Valhalla, New York, in Westchester County. TU is the largest university system under Jewish auspices in the U.S. and the country’s largest private educator of physicians graduating, educating slightly less than four percent of all the nation’s M.D.s and D.O.s each year.

Rooted in a proud legacy of inclusion, NYMC’s humanistic approach is a fundamental component of the exceptional academics and meaningful hands-on experiences provided by each of the schools on the NYMC campus: the School of Medicine (SOM), the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBMS), the School of Health Sciences and Practice (SHSP), the Touro College of Dental Medicine (TCDM) and the Touro College School of Health Sciences’ nursing program. Research at the College is notable in the areas of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, kidney disease, the neurosciences, disaster medicine, obesity, and vaccine development.

With a network of affiliated hospitals and clinical practices, NYMC provides a wide variety of clinical training opportunities throughout the New York/ New Jersey/Connecticut region, as well as in Rhode Island and West Virginia.

LOCATION

NYMC is located on a 54-acre suburban campus. A fixture in Westchester County in the lower Hudson Valley, approximately 15 miles north of New York City, NYMC provides an ideal base for graduate students who wish to study and conduct research in the clinical and biomedical sciences. Our roots go back to 1860 with the founding of the Homeopathic Medical College of New York. NYMC’s identity evolved through mergers and alignments with New York City-based institutions, such as NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, Flower Free Surgical Hospital, and Fifth Avenue Hospital.

Serving a large and diverse geographic area and population, NYMC maintains close ties with local communities through affiliations with hospitals and other health care facilities in the area. Having local physicians and health commissioners among our faculty is one example of how NYMC and the region enjoy a symbiotic relationship each serves and supports the other, and our students and the surrounding communities are the beneficiaries.
