An Excellent Education

SUNY Upstate Medical University's College of Medicine has been educating students to become doctors for almost 175 years.

Our nationally recognized faculty received their medical training at some of the most prestigious medical schools, residency and fellowship programs in the country. Nearly all have subspecialty expertise.

Our students are motivated and driven, yet very supportive of one another. All of this translates into an excellent education, which is evident in our graduates' success.
