It was the first medical school founded within a hospital, making bedside training an integral part of students' education. The College of Medicine at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse continues a rich tradition that began more than 160 years ago. The Health Science Center has a long-standing medical school that shares interdisciplinary relationships with three health professional undergraduate and graduate colleges on campus. Together, they are linked by the Center's regionally networked teaching hospital, the University Hospital. After completing the one year MS curriculum at Touro College in Bay Shore, NY, students go with advanced standing into the medical program at the Faculty of Medicine of the Technion in Haifa, Israel where all instruction is given in English.
Most graduates return to the United States.
This is a joint program between the Tufts College of Engineering and Tufts School of Medicine. At the end of the first 4 years, students earn a Bachelor of Science degree in one of the engineering disciplines, with an optional Minor in Biomedical Engineering or in Biotechnology. At the end of the second 4 years, they earn a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Doctor of Medicine degree. Students will take engineering undergraduate and graduate courses during the semesters and summers of the first 4 years. An internship in the medical industry is encouraged.
