The Associated Medical Schools of New York hosted a roundtable discussion on the findings of a recent economic impact report commissioned by AMSNY.  According to the report, the academic medical centers’ combined total economic impact equals more than $85.6 billion.  This means $1 out of every $13 in New York’s economy is related to AMSNY medical schools and their primary hospital affiliates.  Further, AMSNY medical schools and their primary hospital affiliates support approximately 694,000 jobs or one in every 11 jobs in New York. It is projected by 2016, there will be more than 300,000 jobs created in New York’s education and healthcare sectors.

“New York State is home to more medical schools than any other state in the country,” said AMSNY President and Chief Executive Officer Jo Wiederhorn. “More than 8,100 medical students, 11 percent of the nation’s total, and 15,000 residents, 15 percent of the nation’s total, are trained in the state. New York is leading the nation in total employment by medical schools and their primary hospital affiliates. This is an enormous accomplishment that must be recognized and fostered.”  Read full press release  Download full report (PDF)
