                                        So, I turn to why a freestanding academic medical school.

                                        Our foundational purpose as a freestanding academic medical school is to become the national exemplar in providing access to a world class medical education.

                                        As such, we work locally to lead nationally.

                                        And it's this it's this that we will be known for.

                                        All of which is much more attainable as an independent medical school that is fully integrated within the broader CUNY system.

                                        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.

                                        In doing so, the medical school will advance the goals to eliminate educational health and healthcare disparities in our time.

                                        Thereby, achieving inclusion within the medical school, and in pre medical profession, and equity within the healthcare workforce.
