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 is a medical school that began operations in fall 2016 as part of the City University of New York. The school is in Harlem on the campus of the City College of New York and partners with Saint Barnabas Health System in the South Bronx for clinical medical education.[1]
The school will receive students from the BS/MD program at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education[2] who undertake undergraduate studies for three years and then two years of didactic study in the sciences, after which students complete their clinical training at St. Barnabas Hospital, culminating in their medical degree.
