MD Curriculum
NYU Grossman School of Medicine trains future physicians with an innovative, flexible MD degree curriculum known as the Curriculum for the 21st Century: Personalized Pathways, or C21. Our program enables students to master the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in medicine and provides opportunities to customize their studies at designated points in their training.
Whether it’s gaining early acceptance to a residency program with the
three-year directed MD pathway
, or exploring a professional area that complements the MD degree with one of our
dual MD/master’s degrees
, C21 offers many options for students to achieve their own personal career goals.
C21 provides patient-centered and disease-focused training to help students make connections between basic science concepts learned in the classroom and their real-world clinical application. In your clerkship year and beyond, those concepts are reinforced through daily patient contact, online and simulation exercises
offered at NYSIM, the New York Simulation Center for the Health Sciences
, and progress assessments. Diversity and health disparities are also explored in the context of C21.
The following information explains a student’s typical progression through our Personalized Pathways MD curriculum:
Stage One: Preclerkship Curriculum
Stage Two: Clerkship Year
Stage Three: Individualized Exploration
Our three-year MD pathway allows students to complete their MD degree through three concentrated stages of foundational basic science concepts combined with foundational clinical skills, followed by a clerkship year combined with integrated clinical skills, and completed with individualized exploration in specialty and subspecialty areas of interest and advanced clinical skills.
