The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGS), formerly known as the Cornell University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, is a graduate college of Cornell University that was founded in 1952 as an academic partnership between two major medical institutions in New York City: Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Cornell is involved in the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program with Rockefeller University and the Sloan Kettering Institute; each of these three institutions is part of a large biomedical center extending along York Avenue between 65th and 72nd Streets on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
