NYU has announced that it will open a new medical school on Long Island and will begin accepting applications in the 2019-2020 cycle. It will be a three-year program—with no tuition—and will focus on training primary care practitioners. The program received preliminary accreditation from the LCME. Matriculating students will also have a conditional acceptance to a residency program at Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, New York, where the school is located. Only 24 students will be admitted to the first class, with a maximum of 40 in subsequent classes.
