New York Medical College
New York Medical College
Since 1860, New York Medical College (NYMC) has trained generations of students from all over the world to deliver skilled and compassionate medical care, explore the basic science questions that lead to important discoveries, and provide leadership in the field of public health and essential services to people with specialized care needs.
The School of Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and School of Health Sciences and Practice, the Touro College of Dental Medicine at NYMC, and the Touro College School of Health Sciences’ nursing program at NYMC – all on the Valhalla campus in Westchester County, New York, provides a large catchment area that enables our students to treat and work with culturally and economically diverse populations, and pursue a wide range of career, residency and internship opportunities. Our affiliate hospitals are some of the finest in the tri-state area, and our faculty is unsurpassed in their dedication and skill.
NYMC is located on a 565-acre suburban campus shared with Westchester Medical Center, 15 miles outside of the New York City limits.
NYMC is distinguished by its inclusive and humanistic approach to education. Historically, we were ahead of our time in admitting and graduating women and students of color. Having joined the Touro College and University System in 2011, we are enjoying a new era of growth, diversity and opportunity, illustrated by recent innovations such as our Clinical Skills and Simulation Center, Biotechnology Incubator and impressive growth in applications and fundraising. After 159 years, NYMC is stronger than ever – excellent news for our students and the populations they serve.
Mission
New York Medical College (NYMC), a member of the Touro College and University System, is a health sciences College whose purpose is to educate clinical and public health professionals as well as researchers, to conduct biomedical and population-based research. Through its faculty and affiliated partners, the College engenders a diverse and inclusive community that promotes an atmosphere of excellence, scholarship and professionalism.
Vision
NYMC will promote health science education and research; preparing and empowering the next generation of researchers and health care leaders to advance human health and well-being.
Guiding Values
At NYMC, we believe success in fulfilling our mission begins with the commitment we have to our values. These guiding values consist of:
Excellence
We believe in holding ourselves to high professional and academic standards. We are therefore committed to pursuing ambitious goals and quality assurance in our intellectual, educational and programmatic endeavors. We strive not to rest on our accomplishments, but rather to build on them to set new standards in our fields.
Human Dignity
We believe that before health professionals see patients, they must first see their patients, and themselves, as people. This commitment to acknowledging and appreciating the entirety of a person will lead our students to develop professional and personal integrity.
Intellectual Curiosity
We believe in the importance of a life-long commitment to intellectual curiosity that encourages individuals to not only seek to push beyond boundaries of research but also to question commonly-held assumptions. By providing an atmosphere where students and faculty are encouraged to seek out, master and respond, to the latest advances in their fields of study, we can further health sciences research and patient care.
Service
We believe that health care education and research should not be pursued solely for the sake of intellectual edification. Rather, we are committed to the belief that health care education should be used to improve the lives of patients and benefit the communities we serve.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that the rich diversity of our student body and faculty is important to our mission of educating outstanding well-rounded health care professionals for the multicultural world of the 21st century. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion encompasses our accommodation for Jewish observance and culture, as we recognize the benefit of providing Jewish students the ability to become health care leaders in an environment where they do not have to choose between professional and personal values and obligations. This commitment to diversity and inclusion extends to all members of the greater NYMC community on and off campus.
Integrity
We believe that acting on our values in pursuit of our mission will keep us both true to our mission and to our values. We strive not only for a culture that complies with our norms and policies. We strive to embed a culture of integrity into everything we do.
