New York University School of Medicine
New York University School of Medicine (NYU School of Medicine) opened in 1841 in the heart of New York City. Since its opening it has transformed into a mega-center for physician training, patient care and research. In recent years, NYU School of Medicine incorporated numerous city hospitals, veteran hospitals and research institutions. Notably, in 2008 the mega-center for health care was renamed the Elaine A. and Kenneth G. Langone Medical Center.
