FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
The CUNY School of Medicine (CSOM) at The City College of New York (CCNY), is the only

students to complete both their undergraduate Bachelor of Science (BS) and Doctor of Medicine
(MD) degrees in seven years. CSOM graduated its first MD class in 2020. The mission of CSOM
is to provide access to medical education to talented youth from social, ethnic, and racial
backgrounds historically underrepresented in medicine and to develop health professionals
committed to practicing in under-served communities with a special emphasis on primary care.
The Department of Medical Education was established in 2013 to oversee, support and enhance
the quality of the school’s medical education program. The department has primary teaching and

series of modules given in the fourth (M1) and fifth (M2) year of the BS-MD program. The
course integrates the disciplines of anatomy, histology, physiology, pharmacology, pathology,
microbiology and clinical medicine and covers normal and abnormal processes in organ-based
modules.
