Three-Year MD Directed Pathway
NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s three-year MD directed pathway to NYU Langone Health residencies—the first of its kind at a nationally ranked academic medical center—provides early access to faculty mentors, opportunities to conduct research, and direct progression into one of our residency programs, pending successful completion of your medical school training. Upon meeting the academic and professional standards for graduation from medical school, you are ranked to match into an
NYU Grossman School of Medicine residency program
through the National Resident Matching Program. Should you choose to rank us, you would match into a position at NYU Grossman School of Medicine for residency.
NYU Grossman School of Medicine is a founding member of the
Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathway Programs
, a group of North American medical schools offering the three-year MD, many of which focus on primary care training. Our three-year MD program stands out by offering
early, conditional residency acceptance
into any one of 21 NYU Langone Health residency programs, providing accelerated entry into a variety of medical specialties.
A Flexible, Fast-track MD Curriculum
As more aspiring physicians pursue specialty training as part of their medical education, the average time it takes to enter the workforce has lengthened. If you already know what type of physician you want to become, the three-year MD directed pathway at NYU Grossman School of Medicine allows you to complete our
MD curriculum
in less time and gain a head start on your specialization.
There are four options for entering the three-year MD directed pathway:
Prospective students can apply to the three-year MD directed pathway when they
apply to the MD program
at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Those who have earned a PhD from another college or university can apply to the three-year MD directed pathway for specialized, research-focused residency programs.
Matriculated students in our MD program can opt in to the three-year MD directed pathway during their first year of training or halfway through the clerkship year.
The basic elements of our three-year MD directed pathway are nearly identical to those of our three-year MD curriculum. However, you spend your 6-week summer research opportunity between years one and two doing a project in the department of your intended residency. This gives you a chance to get to know people in the department and meet potential mentors who can assist you throughout your time in medical school.
The three-year MD directed pathway at NYU Grossman School of Medicine stands out by offering an early conditional acceptance into any one of 21 NYU Langone Health residency programs. Students pre-matriculate in July of stage one and opt-in to the directed pathway in February of stage two.
