The Role of AMSNY in New York State's Medical Education

Incorporated in 1967, the Associated Medical Schools of New York (AMSNY) is comprised of the sixteen public and private medical schools in New York State - connecting the people, knowledge and resources of NYS’ medical schools. The deans of AMSNY member institutions comprise its Board of Trustees. They provide vision and leadership, ensuring the state’s preeminence in the fields of medical research, medical education and patient care.

AMSNY facilitates educational opportunities for medical students, residents, faculty and those students wishing to follow a career in medicine. It coordinates an intensive statewide effort to increase equitable representation in medical education and access to healthcare for the economically disadvantaged.

The knowledge and expertise of AMSNY member institutions have influenced healthcare policy by educating federal, state and local leaders. AMSNY has advocated for access to healthcare for all people, AIDS patient care responsibility, animal research, biomedical research and palliative care education.
