With Community at Heart
A Different Kind of Medical School
CUNY School of Medicine offers a mission-driven education in the heart of Harlem. We train students from various backgrounds to become doctors who make a difference in their communities—committed to serving communities with limited medical representation and reshaping the future of healthcare.
A Medical Education Built on Care
