School of Medicine Faculty

The School of Medicine faculty is comprised of more than 1,700 active biomedical scientists and clinicians, and additional emeriti faculty, that represent the soul of the institution. Our faculty have passion for their respective disciplines and challenge students to grow intellectually by thinking broadly and advancing their knowledge through research that treats human disease and improves the lives of individuals and their communities. New York Medical College recognizes that a diverse faculty enhances the education of our students and best prepares them for service and scholarship in a multicultural society.
