Overview of CUIMC Colleges and Schools
Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons
Founded in 1767, Columbia’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons was the first school in the United States to award the MD degree and its legacy of innovation continues. In 2018, it became the first medical school in the nation to replace student loans with scholarships for all students who qualify for financial aid. At the heart of medical education is the 100,000-square-foot, 14-floor Vagelos Education Center with a simulation center, anatomy lab, and classroom and study spaces. Faculty are among the best-funded researchers in American medical schools, and for eight consecutive years, the college’s grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has outpaced growth of the NIH budget.
College of Dental Medicine
Founded in 1916, Columbia’s College of Dental Medicine is a leader in applying clinical, research, and public policy approaches to oral health issues. Its Center for Precision Dental Medicine is at the forefront of providing personalized dental services, with 48 dental chairs for patient care and instruction, simulation training equipment, and technology to advance data sciences. The college is also the largest provider of primary and specialty oral health care in the northern Manhattan communities of Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood.
School of Nursing
Founded in 1892, Columbia’s School of Nursing was the first to award a master’s degree in a clinical nursing specialty and is the nation’s oldest continuous program in nurse midwifery. The school’s seven-floor, 68,000-square-foot nursing building with a simulation lab provides a learning environment to prepare students for the ever-changing demands of today’s clinicians, researchers, and educators. The school also operates the Nurse Practitioner Group, a primary care faculty practice serving midtown Manhattan, Morningside Heights, and Washington Heights.
