Mission & Vision
Our Mission
The mission of CUNY School of Medicine is to produce broadly-educated, highly-skilled medical practitioners committed to providing quality health services in communities by primary care providers. The School seeks to recruit and educate a talented and motivated pool of students for its BS/MD and Physician Assistant programs, thereby expanding access to medical education for individuals from lower-income backgrounds and communities with limited access to medical training and services.
CUNY School of Medicine programs achieve academic excellence through rigorous curricula in clinically-oriented basic sciences, population health, research, exposure to a variety of healthcare settings, and professional development.
A Culture of Purpose and Possibility
At CUNY School of Medicine, our neighborhood is more than simply our New York City setting. Our community fosters collaboration, curiosity, and a deep sense of mission. From classrooms to clinical settings, students, faculty, and staff are united by a shared commitment to making healthcare more just, compassionate, and accessible for all.
