New York Medical College in Valhalla has formed a new academic partnership with Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn.
A spokesperson for the 154-year-old health sciences university said its undergraduate medical students will receive training at Brookdale during required and elective rotations in medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, psychiatry, family medicine, neurology and other disciplines. Brookdale also will offer training for New York Medical College graduate students in speech-language pathology and physical therapy.
Dr. Edward C. Halperin, chancellor and CEO of New York Medical College, in the announcement noted that Brookdale Hospital was the academic home of Dr. Béla Schick, “whose scientific work led to the elimination of the childhood scourge, diphtheria. NYMC and Brookdale share a joint history and culture of providing medical care and education of the highest quality to everyone.”
Brookdale President and CEOÂ Mark E. Toney called the new academic affiliation with NYMC “great news for our patients and staff. Their desire to partner with Brookdale reaffirms the quality of medical teaching and care that we offer on a daily basis.”
New York Medical College officials in June announced a new academic affiliation with Saint Michael”™s Medical Center in Newark, N.J., for undergraduate and graduate medical students.
