The New York University School of Medicine is one of the graduate schools of New York University. Founded in 1841 as the University Medical College.

The School of Medicine is part of NYU Langone Medical Center, named after Kenneth Langone, the investment banker and financial backer of the Home Depot. It is located at 550 First Avenue in New York City. The School of Medicine has 360 full-time faculty and 175 part-time faculty. Additionally, there are 26 endowed professorships, 975 residents/fellows, 76 M.D./Ph.D. candidates and 788 post-graduate registrants as of 2007. The NYU Medical Center is home to the School of Medicine, the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Charles C. Harris Skin & Cancer Pavilion, considered the most prestigious dermatology institute in the United States. In the 2007 U.S. News & World Report, NYU Medical Center ranked among the top 20 in the nation in cardiology, geriatrics, neurology, orthopedics, psychiatry, rehabilitation and rheumatology. Overall, it was ranked among premier hospitals in the nation for 12 different specialties.

In 1841, the New York University College of Medicine is established. The medical school merged with Bellevue Medical College in the 1898 to form the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College. The present name was adopted in 1960.

In 1854, human dissection in New York was legalized due to efforts of the faculty. In 1866, NYU professors produced a report for the Council of Hygiene and Public Health which led to establishment of New York City's Health Department. The same year, NYU opened the first outpatient clinic in the United States. In 1872, NYU Professor Steven Smith founded the American Public Health Association. In 1884, the Carnegie Laboratory, the first facility in the U.S. devoted to teaching and research in bacteriology and pathology, was established at NYU. In 1899, NYU graduate Walter Reed discovered the mosquito transmission of yellow fever. In 1932, the first department of forensic medicine in the U.S. was established at NYU. In 1941, NYU opened the first department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the U.S. The Institute and Department of Environmental Medicine were established in 1964. In 1980, NYU professor Saul Krugman, M.D., developed the first vaccine against hepatitis B. In 1993, the School of Medicine's Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, the largest building project in history of NYU, opened. In 1998, the Mount Sinai NYU Health was established, when the NYU Medical System merged with Mount Sinai Hospitals. The joint organization included The Mount Sinai Hospital, The Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens, Tisch Hospital, the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, the Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, and NYU Downtown Hospital. It was reported in 2003 that the union was dissolving after a five-year affiliation while confronting a shared debt of $665.6 million. (However, NYU continues to award Mount Sinai School of Medicine's degrees; thus, it has two wholly-separate medical schools.) In 2006, the Smilow Research Center opened its doors, providing a new site for translational research in nine areas.
