NYMC has been training students in medicine and healthcare since 1860, when it was originally known as The New York Homeopathic Medical College.

Not only that, but the first male African American physician in the United States, and the first female African American in New York both studied here.

New York Medical College became a part of the Touro College and University System family in 2011. Today, they continue in their efforts to make history—while making a difference for the community and the world—not only by training medical professionals but also through biomedical research in cancer, cardiovascular health, infectious disease, kidney disease, vaccine development, and medical care in disaster recovery.
