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 historically underserved 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 socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds and historically underrepresented communities. 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.
