The College was founded in 1860 by a group of New York City civic
leaders led by the noted poet, editor and orator William
Cullen Bryant, who was concerned with the primitive conditions of
hospitals and medical education at that time. Today, with more than
1,400 students, 1,338 residents and clinical fellows, more than 3,000
faculty members, and 12,706 living alumni, New York Medical College
is one of the largest private health sciences universities in the
nation.
Located in Westchester County, New York, the College is chartered
by the Regents of the State of New York and accredited
by the Middle States Associate of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH), the American
Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), the Commission on Accreditation
in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education (LCME), and the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the
American Dental Association.
