Office of Campus Engagement
We embrace the richness of our student body, faculty, and staff and value the importance it has on our mission of educating outstanding, well-rounded health science professionals for the ever-evolving global environment of the 21st century. We believe in the mutual understanding and respect for people in all aspects of human differences where everyone can have a sense of belonging. We hold dear to the reality that varied perspectives and backgrounds in both academia and health care improve the health of people everywhere.
As part of that effort we have medical linkage agreements with goal of increasing the number of medical students in medicine, programs to promote variety in medicine (pre-health enrichment and mentoring), set you up for success in medical school (pre-matriculation) and to address issues in medicine (TELP).

Health Access and Outcomes Research
The Office of Campus Engagement and School of Medicine recognizes that the incidence, morbidity,and mortality of many diseases various amongst population groups. It is also clear that there are variances in ease-of-access to health care. For example, it is clear that the incidence and mortality rates of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, head and nec, and cervix are higher amongst the poor than the wealthy. We encourage students to engage in research projects focused on addressing the causes and solutions of these variances. NYMC SOM students who are interested in participating in such research should contact the Office. Additional information on student research opportunities can be found on the Medical Student Research page.
Each February, students are invited to present their research findings at the Medical Student Research Forum (MSRF). The MSRF is a way to promote student research and to provide an opportunity for medical students to present and share their findings with the College community.
Land Acknowledgment
The historical record indicates that the land currently occupied by New York Medical College's Westchester campus may have been traversed by and helped sustain Schaghticoke, Wappinger, and Munsee Lenape peoples prior to and for a time after the arrival of the Dutch in the 17th century. We acknowledge their prior presence on this land, and we pay respect to these communities, both past and present.
