NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine

MISSION NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine's mission is to develop preeminent physician leaders through scholarship and innovative medical education design anchored in the principles of primary care and health systems science. VISION Our vision is to improve the health of the communities we serve by advancing medical education, scientific discovery, and comprehensive, equitable, collaborative health care delivery. * * * * * * * * NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine (NYU GLISOM) is one of two distinct medical schools under the nationally ranked NYU Langone Health System banner affiliated with New York University (NYU). NYU GLISOM's specific mission is to address the growing physician workforce shortage of general practitioners in primary care fields and empower our graduates to become leaders in the delivery of high-quality, value-based, coordinated, and equitable healthcare that is patient-focused, family-centered and community-based. Our pioneering, three-year, accelerated undergraduate medical education program combines innovations in medical education together with exceptional clinical training that is anchored in the principles of primary care and health systems science. By streamlining entry into clinical practice by one full year, we enable our graduates to impact the health of the community as quickly as possible. Further, we pair students' acceptance to the medical school with the offer of a directed- pathway to residency at our teaching hospital, NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island, in specific primary care fields: internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics & gynecology. Candidates interested in family medicine may apply via the internal medicine track. Though family medicine is not among the NYU GLISOM directed-pathway to residency options, final year students are successfully positioned to match externally to family medicine residency programs. Three-year Full-Tuition Scholarships are awarded to all students regardless of financial need or merit and additional need-based Debt-Free Scholarships are offered to students who financially qualify - to help pay for costs of attendance above tuition - enabling NYU GLISOM students to graduate unencumbered by excessive student debt. Our comprehensive admissions review process directly aligns with our primary care mission and three-year, accelerated educational program that offers of a directed pathway to residency at the time of admission. We seek exceptionally academically qualified candidates who demonstrate (1) a clear commitment to the principles of primary care and (2) significant experience in the field of medicine associated with their selected residency track. To best prepare our graduates to become critical thinkers and life-long learners, NYU GLISOM’s curriculum has a strong emphasis on ‘active learning’ that incorporates a problem-based, small-group, collaborative approach. Unparalleled longitudinal support, advising, and mentoring is also an integral part of the program to insure students' success and well-being in all aspects of their medical school journey. Additionally, the small-size of our program fosters a unique sense of community and camaraderie among students, faculty and senior leaders which directly aligns with the team-based mindset that personifies a primary care physician. Though we are a small school, we seek to make a big impact and the entire NYU GLISOM community takes great pride in the success of our graduates who serve as exemplars of our primary care mission and vision - many of whom have become leaders in their residency programs, continue to be engaged in impactful scholarly research, and selflessly give back to the communities they now serve.
