PhD in Medicine

Medical students here follow a curriculum that blends bedside and laboratory science from the first year to the last. The aim is for learners to reason like physicians from their opening day and to stay ready for lifelong study. The college traces the origin of modern medical teaching to this institution, where students first moved out of lecture halls to learn beside patients. Training now happens at the only academic medical center in Brooklyn. Students work alongside doctors, nurses, scientists, public health specialists, and advanced practice clinicians. Seeing care through so many professional viewpoints is presented as a way to develop more compassionate physicians. The degree serves people motivated by service to patients and to a very diverse urban population. Applicants should consult the college for requirements.
