Medical School Overview
The Weill Cornell Medical College is located in New York City’s “science corridor,” near other health and research institutions including the Sloan-Kettering Institute and The Rockefeller University. Medical school classes emphasize problem-based learning, and early on, students spend class time in doctors’ offices once a week through the Medicine, Patients, and Society course.
Weill Cornell Medical College is affiliated with institutions including New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery. The school offers funding for students to travel and work abroad after their first year of medical school, and about half of fourth-year students opt for international electives, often in Third World countries. All medical students are guaranteed housing in the school’s Upper East Side of Manhattan location, either in dormitories or apartments.
Notable alumni of Weill Cornell Medical College include Robert Atkins, creator of the Atkins Diet, and Wilson Greatbatch, inventor of the cardiac pacemaker.
