Operationalizing a 3-year standalone, accelerated medical school curriculum to nurture physicians to become primary care and health system leaders.

The United States faces a shortage of primary care physicians. To address this, there have been pioneering efforts to develop accelerated pathways with a primary care focused curriculum for undergraduate medical education. The New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine (NYU GLISOM) was conceptualized as the first standalone, accelerated, tuition-free program in the US in over 100 years, with mission-centered curriculum on primary care and health system leadership.
