Increasing Representation and Promoting Inclusive Excellence in Medicine

Located in the heart of Harlem, the CUNY School of Medicine builds on the successful Sophie Davis Biomedical Educational Program which was founded in 1973 to recruit and train students from diverse backgrounds for careers as physicians. Proud of this 50-year legacy, CUNY Medicine remains committed to increasing diversity in medical professions, meeting the needs of underserved communities, and changing the way the nation approaches medical education and delivers healthcare.
