Medical Education
New York University School of Medicine has recently implemented the curriculum for the 21st century. The new curriculum consists of 18 months of basic science and two and a half years of clinical training. Students take the USMLE Step 1 exam after the clerkship year (with the exception of MD/PhD students, who take it before starting their PhD work). This allows students additional time to take electives, conduct research, or go on away rotations. Other features of the curriculum include NYU3T (a joint program with the New York University College of Nursing) and PLACE (Patient-Based Longitudinal Ambulatory Care Experience).
The NYU School of Medicine also offers several 5-year joint degree programs, some of which can be optionally completed in 4 years.:
- MD/MPA in Health Policy and Management (with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service)
- MD/MPH in Global Health
- MD/MBA in General Management (with the New York University Stern School of Business)
- MD/MA in Bioethics
- MD/MSc in Clinical Investigation
Since 1964, NYU School of Medicine has offered MD/PhD dual degree training through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP).
