Graduate Medical Education at NYU Langone Medical Center

Welcome to the New York University Langone Medical Center, Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) website. GME is an essential and integral part of the academic atmosphere and clinical environment necessary to accomplish the missions of the New York University School of Medicine.

New York University was founded in 1831 on the model of the University of London. At a meeting of prominent New Yorkers in 1829, Albert Gallatin, a Swiss immigrant and Secretary of the Treasury for both Jefferson and Madison said of the founding of what was then called "The University of the City of New York", A University that would provide for the mind of the laboring classes...in the immense and fast-growing city... a rational and practical education fitted for all and gratuitously open to all. The School of Medicine was the 19th medical school chartered in the United States. Joined almost from the outset in a partnership with the oldest public hospital in the United States, Bellevue, the School always has honored the mission and commitment of the founders to serve all our citizens in need. This paramount commitment to the patient has provided our school and its students with their professional heart and soul.

In 2007, Robert Grossman was named the 15th Dean of the NYU School of Medicine and CEO of NYU Hospitals Center. One of his primary objectives is to create an integrated academic medical center, comprising the School of Medicine and the Hospitals (Tisch Hospital, Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine, and NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases).

NYU School of Medicine also became the largest academic affiliate, in 2007, for the New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), as Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center joins Bellevue Hospital Center, Gouverneur Healthcare Services, and Cumberland Diagnostic and Treatment Center as a partner institution of our Medical Center. These affiliations with city hospitals, alongside the Manhattan VA, Lenox Hill, and North Shore University Hospital allows us to extend our reach and expertise to other communities, while also providing outstanding training for our students and residents in sites with very diverse patient populations.
