BS-MD Program
The Biomedical Education Program is designed as a seven-year integrated curriculum leading to Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degrees. During the first five years of the program, students fulfill all requirements for the B.S. degree as well as the pre-clinical portion of a medical school curriculum. After successfully completing the five-year sequence and passing Step I of the U.S. Medical Licensure Examination, students then transfer to one of six medical schools for their final two years of clinical training. The Bachelor of Science degree is conferred by City College, while the medical school to which the student transfers awards the Doctor of Medicine degree.
The medical schools currently participating in the program are:
- Albany Medical College
- Dartmouth Medical School
- New York Medical College
- New York University School of Medicine
- The State University of New York (SUNY) Health Science Center at Brooklyn
- SUNY at Stony Brook School of Medicine
All of the above noted medical schools are accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association.
*Medical licensure requirements vary from state to state. While graduates of the program have been successful in meeting these requirements, students and prospective students are advised to consult the office of the Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs for details about current requirements in specific areas.
