FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

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

medical school in the City University of New York system. Our innovative curriculum allows

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

administrative responsibility for several courses in the Medical School curriculum, including

Practice of Medicine and Organ Systems. The Department of Medical Education is searching for

a co-course director who will work together with their fellow course director to direct and

administer the Organ Systems course. The Organ Systems course is an eighteen-month long

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.
