Campus Description:
Founded in 1898, and affiliated with The New York Hospital since
1927 and New York Presbyterian Hospital since 1998, Weill
Medical College of Cornell University (formerly known as Cornell
University Medical College) is among the top-ranked clinical and
medical research centers in the country. In addition to offering
degrees in medicine, Cornell also has Ph.D. programs in
biomedical research and education at the Weill Graduate School
of Medical Sciences, and with neighboring Rockefeller University
and the Sloan-Kettering Institute, has established a joint M.D.-Ph.D.
program for students to intensify their pursuit of Cornell's
triple mission of education, research, and patient care.
The Medical College is divided into twenty academic
departments: seven focus on the sciences underlying clinical
medicine; and thirteen encompass the study, treatment, and
prevention of human diseases, and maternity care.
Weill Medical College's educational mission emphasizes the
importance of combining a strong basic foundation in the medical
sciences with extensive clinical training in patient care. By
promoting true social commitment, stimulating creativity, and
fostering independent thought and study, Weill Medical College
continues to cultivate tomorrow's leaders in the field of
medicine.
