Townsend Harris Hall houses the CUNY School of Medicine. Designed by famed New York architect George B. Post and completed in 1908, the Collegiate Gothic-style building is named for Townsend Harris, the founder of City College, and was dedicated in a ceremony at which Mark Twain was the featured speaker.

The CUNY School of Medicine (CUNY Medicine) is the medical school of The City University of New York (CUNY). Founded in 2015 on The City College of New York (CCNY) campus, CUNY Medicine became the only public medical school in Manhattan and the first medical school to open in New York City since 1860.[1]

The school partners with St. Barnabas Hospital (Bronx), Harlem Hospital Center of NYC Health + Hospitals, and Staten Island University Hospital of Northwell Health for clinical medical education.[2]

Currently, the primary pathway of admission to the CUNY School of Medicine for the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree is through an accelerated, seven-year B.S./M.D. curriculum offered through the Sophie Davis Biomedical Education Program.[3] CUNY Medicine also offers a two-year M.S. program in Physician Assistant studies.[4]
