New York University Grossman School of Medicine

The New York University Grossman School of Medicine (formerly New York University School of Medicine from 1960 to 2019) is one of the two medical schools of New York University, the other being NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. Both are part of NYU Langone Health. The school was founded in 1841.

History

The school was founded in 1841 as the Medical College of New York University, [1] with an inaugural class of 239 students. [2] Among the college's six original faculty members were renowned surgeon Valentine Mott and John Revere, son of Paul Revere. [3] 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. [4]

In 1935, the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College was renamed the New York University College of Medicine. [4] In 1960, New York University College of Medicine was renamed New York University School of Medicine. [4]

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. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] 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. [10]

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

In 2007, Robert I. Grossman, a 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. [15]

In 2010, the school introduced the program of "Curriculum for the 21st Century" (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. [16]

In 2013, the school established an accelerated three-year M.D. pathway that allows select medical students to graduate early, easing their financial burden while providing a direct route into one of twenty residency programs and enabling faster entry into various medical specialties. [17] [18] [19]

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. [15]

On November 6, 2019, the New York University School of Medicine was renamed the New York University Robert I. Grossman School of Medicine in honor of Robert I. Grossman, the school dean at the time. [20]

A 2024 study published in Academic Medicine and led by Joan F. Cangiarella, professor of pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, found that graduates of three-year medical school programs performed as well on tests of skill and knowledge as their peers in traditional four-year programs. [21]

In 2025, Alec C. Kimmelman, MD, a physician and researcher, was appointed the 16th CEO of NYU Langone Health and Dean of NYU Grossman School of Medicine. [22]

Curriculum

NYU Grossman School of Medicine has 29 academic departments in the clinical and basic sciences. [23] Its curriculum includes three main tracks: [24] [25]

The School's joint degree programs include:

Admissions

For the MD Class of 2025, 8,385 candidates applied and 102 were admitted. [30]

Milestones

Research

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. [66] 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. [66] The School’s award of more than $450 million is one of the largest grants in NIH history [66]
