Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education

Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education

The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education is now an eight-year medical program (previously a seven-year program for those who entered the school prior to 2010) that was established at The City College of the City University of New York in New York City. It offers an integrated baccalaureate education with preclinical medical education and has a twofold mission: to expand access to medical careers among inner-city youths, particularly among underrepresented minorities, and to encourage the pursuit of primary care specialties among its graduates.

Students complete their undergraduate work and the first two years of medical school at Sophie Davis after which students transfer to one of the accompanying medical schools to finish their final two years of medical school which are primarily medical rotations. Currently, Dartmouth Medical School, NYU Medical School, New York Medical College, Stony Brook School of Medicine, Albany Medical College and SUNY Downstate Medical Center are match schools for Sophie Davis graduates.

History

Established in 1973 to address the growing need in the United States -- especially in inner city areas—for primary care physicians, the school began as a destination for talented New York City high school graduates of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. It has a rigorous course curriculum where most of its graduates become general physicians. Those who choose not to become general physicians must repay the school a fee.

It is named after Sophie Kesner, who was Leonard Davis's wife, because Mr. Davis, a graduate of CCNY, was a major benefactor of the school.
