A clinical program characterized by early exposure to a patient population that may be the most diverse in the world; and clinical rotations at a variety of public, community and/or research hospitals, including the state-of-the-art NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
A special emphasis on internationalism. Students have performed clinical care and/or research in 62 countries on six continents.

When Joan and Sanford I. Weill heard of the plans for a new Education Center at Cornell University Medical College, they recognized an opportunity to effect the kinds of changes that are essential in preparing students of medicine for the 2lst century. Their response was one of generosity and foresight to create The Joan and Sanford I. Weill Education Center.

According to Robert Michels, MD, a former Dean of the Medical College, the Weill Education Center is "pivotal to the College's future, and key to our ability to provide a premier education to promising medical students."
