History

Geneva Medical College Geneva medical college lg.jpg
Geneva Medical College

Upstate's earliest predecessor was Geneva Medical College founded 1834 as part of Geneva College, today known as Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The new medical college was located in Geneva, New York, and became the first college to grant a full M.D. to a woman, Elizabeth Blackwell, in 1849. In 1871 the college was disbanded and its assets donated to the recently founded Syracuse University, which subsequently founded a medical college. [1]

In 1950 Syracuse University sold the college to the State University of New York (SUNY), where it remains today. [11] After carrying the names "SUNY Upstate Medical Center" (initially) and "SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse" (1986), the institution was renamed to its present nomenclature in 1999.

A clinical campus in Binghamton, New York, was established in 1979.

A plaque in the lobby of Weiskotten Hall, named for Herman Gates Weiskotten, [12] aptly describes one of the institution's driving philosophies: "Dedicated to all those of scientific mind and investigative spirit who purpose to serve humanity."
