Welcome to the Sophie Davis Biomedical Education Program

at the CUNY School of Medicine 

The Sophie Davis Biomedical Education Program/CUNY School of Medicine is a 7-year BS/MD program designed as an integrated curriculum in medical studies. During the first three-years of the program, students fulfill all requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree.

The Bachelor of Science degree and the MD degree will each be conferred by The City College of New York.
