So, I turn to why a freestanding academic medical school.
0:31:26
Our foundational purpose as a freestanding academic medical school is to become the national exemplar in providing access to a world class medical education.
0:31:35
As such, we work locally to lead nationally.
0:31:40
And it's this it's this that we will be known for.
0:31:44
All of which is much more attainable as an independent medical school that is fully integrated within the broader CUNY system.
0:31:51
Operation as a standalone enables us to effectively and fully implement our vision of advancing medical education, to effectively, and fully implement translational community relevant research, as well as to enhance scholarship.

Using a sales to society approach, this facilitates the realization and optimization of mission, while honoring the strengths, interests, and responsibilities of all of our relevant constituents to remain a coherent and coordinated expression of our purpose and obligations.
0:32:25
In doing so, the medical school will advance the goals to eliminate educational health and healthcare disparities in our time.
0:32:34
Thereby, achieving inclusion within the medical school, and in pre medical profession, and equity within the healthcare workforce.

CUNY School of Medicine serves as a catalyst to improve healthcare with a demonstrably, demonstrably positive impact on individual and population health in New York City and New York State.
