Conclusion

This strategic plan is built on an objective assessment of the previous 2015-2020 strategic plan; both our successes as well as lessons learned. It builds on NYMC’s long history of diversity and inclusion, education, research, health care and public health. The college-wide strategic planning process identified new opportunities and strategic plans for the next five years. Special attention was paid during the strategic planning process to ensure it not only promotes the College mission and goals, but that it includes tactics and defensible assessments to ensure that we are able to responsibly deliver on those goals as well as assess our progress in real-time to allow for adjustments as needed while continuing to successfully achieve our mission. Creating a roadmap for the next five years, this strategic plan keeps NYMC on a path for success.

Over the next five years, we will further establish NYMC as a leading health sciences institution in the U.S. We will achieve this by investing in and empowering faculty and students to promote their success. This includes strategic initiatives to promote and build sustainable and competitive research, as well as promote and build areas of research excellence and partnerships, that provide educational research opportunities for students— providing opportunities to promote College branding and fundraising based on research successes and areas of strength recognizable to the public. We will strive for enhanced transparency and open communications so that our entire community is invested in working toward our institutional vision, mission and goals. We will also increase our focus on community outreach that will help address today’s important issues including health disparities and social determinants of health. To drive these initiatives, we will continue to cultivate support through strengthening ties with our community of alumni and trusted community of donors, leverage our expertise in research to pursue grant funding, achieve excellence in financial performance and manage our resources in a deliberate manner in support of programs and services aligned with our mission, vision and core values.

As we implement this plan, we will monitor and measure our progress—as we nourish partnerships with the entire NYMC community that brought this plan to fruition and will help achieve its success.
