About
History
Weill Cornell Medical College was founded in 1898, with April 14, 1898, marking the official date. The Medical College was established and generously endowed through the gifts of Colonel Oliver H. Payne and quickly became a national leader in medical instruction.
Education
Since its inception, the Medical College has followed an educational philosophy that emphasizes the importance of combining a strong basic foundation in the medical sciences with extensive clinical training in patient care.
Research
Research is a critical component of any successful career in science and medicine, which is why Weill Cornell Medical College emphasizes student research in its curriculum. Weill Cornell students have access to research opportunities with top faculty members in an array of fields. These opportunities range from short-term and summer projects to year-long, funded fellowship programs.
Weill Cornell Medical College celebrates student research with Medical Student Research Day, an annual event where WCMC students make presentations and share their research with faculty members and fellow medical students.
Career
Weill Cornell Medical College recently united under a new identity, Weill Cornell Medicine, to represent the breadth and depth of everything our employees do best: world-class patient care, cutting-edge research and top-ranked education.
