NYU Grossman School of Medicine is a medical school of New York University (NYU), a private research university in New York City. It was founded in 1841 and is one of two medical schools of the university, the other being the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.[1][2] Both are part of NYU Langone Health.

History

[edit]

NYU Grossman School of Medicine was founded in 1841 as the Medical College of New York University,[3] with an inaugural class of 239 students.[4] Among the college's six original faculty members were renowned surgeon Valentine Mott and John Revere, son of patriot Paul Revere.[5] In 1898, the Medical College of New York University consolidated with Bellevue Hospital Medical College, forming the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York University.[6]

In 1935, University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College was renamed New York University College of Medicine.[6] In 1960, New York University College of Medicine was renamed New York University School of Medicine.[6]

The faculty and alumni of NYU Grossman School of Medicine have contributed to the control of tuberculosis, diphtheria, yellow fever, and sexually transmitted infections, as well as the development of vaccines for measles, rubella, hepatitis B, polio, and cancer; advances in the treatment and prevention of stroke and heart disease; and the introduction of minimally invasive surgical techniques.[7][8][9][10][11] In the early 1980s, clinicians and researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine working at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue were among the first to identify an alarming increase in Kaposi's sarcoma, opportunistic infections, and immune system failure among young gay men and alert health authorities to an imminent health catastrophe, soon to be known as HIV/AIDS.[12]

NYU Grossman School of Medicine counts among its faculty and alumni four Nobel laureates:

  • Otto Loewi (awarded 1936), who determined that the primary language of nerve cell communication is chemical rather than electrical[13]
  • Severo Ochoa (awarded 1959), who conducted landmark studies in biochemical genetics and nucleic acids[14]
  • Baruj Benacerraf (awarded 1980), who performed groundbreaking research on genetic regulation of the immune system[15]
  • Eric Kandel (awarded 2000), who discovered molecular processes that underlie learning and memory[16]

In 2007, Robert I. Grossman, an internationally recognized distinguished neuroradiologist who had served as chair of NYU Langone Health’s Department of Radiology since 2001, was appointed the 15th Dean of NYU School of Medicine and CEO of NYU Medical Center, as they were then named.[17]

In 2010, the school introduced the Curriculum for the 21st Century, or C21, a new curriculum that affords students earlier and more frequent interaction with patients and new learning pathways with more opportunities for specialized training in areas best suited to their interests.[18]

In 2013, the school established an accelerated three-year M.D. pathway for select medical students to ease the financial burden of medical school and launch medical careers one year earlier than traditional students.[19] The school became the first nationally ranked medical school in the U.S. to enable medical students to graduate in three years, providing a directed pathway into any one of twenty residency programs and accelerated entry into a variety of medical specialties.[20][21]

In 2018, the school implemented full-tuition scholarships for all current and future students in its M.D. degree program, making NYU Grossman School of Medicine the first top-ranked medical school in the nation to provide full-tuition scholarships to all of its students.[17]

A 2024 paper published in Academic Medicine shows that graduates who went to medical school for three years performed equally well on tests of skill and knowledge as their peers who followed a four-year program.[22] The study, led by Joan F. Cangiarella, MD, the Elaine Langone Professor of Pathology in the Department of Pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, represents the largest analysis of three-year MD programs introduced in the last decade.[22]

NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine

NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine was founded in 2019. Located on the campus of NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island in Mineola, New York.[23] The institution is the fourth medical school on Long Island.[23]

One year after NYU Grossman School of Medicine became the first top-ranked MD program in the U.S. to offer full-tuition scholarships to all students in 2018, it launched NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine with the same full-tuition model.[24]

In 2023, Long Island native Kenneth G. Langone, Board Chair of NYU Langone Health, and his wife, Elaine, announced their $200 million donation to the school to extend full-tuition scholarships to every student in good standing, regardless of need or merit.[25] At the request of the Langones, the school was renamed NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine in honor of Robert I. Grossman, MD, CEO of NYU Langone Health and dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine.[25]

Curriculum

[edit]

NYU Grossman School of Medicine has 29 academic departments in the clinical and basic sciences.[26] Its curriculum includes three main tracks:[27][28]

  • Three-Year MD pathway: Provides pre-clinical and clinical studies in three years and incorporates a year-long integrative pre-clerkship experience, with clerkships beginning in the second year. Graduates can apply to any residency program in the country.
  • Three-Year MD with a directed pathway to residency NYU Grossman School of Medicine: Provides pre-clinical and clinical studies in three years, with a directed pathway to any of NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s 29 residency programs.
  • Four-Year MD/Master's dual-degree or MD/research year pathways: Students earn an MD in three years with the option to pursue a fourth year for research or to earn a master's degree along with their medical degree.

The School's joint degree programs include:

Admissions

[edit]

Admission to NYU Grossman School of Medicine's MD program is highly selective. For the MD Class of 2024, 8,267 candidates applied and 165 were admitted.[33]

Research

[edit]

With $1.1 billion in active awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NYU Grossman School of Medicine is one of the most highly funded medical schools in the United States.[34] Its faculty are involved in a range of multidisciplinary studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms behind health and disease. In 2021, NYU Grossman School of Medicine was selected by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to be the Clinical Science Core of the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative, a project aimed at understanding the long-term effects of COVID-19 to help develop new approaches to diagnosis and treatment.[34] The School’s award of more than $450 million is one of the largest grants in NIH history[34]
