Welcome to New York Medical College Local LGBTPM Chapter
Mission
Mission of P.E.O.P.L.E. in Medicine (People of Every Orientation Protecting Liberty & Equality in Medicine): As a New York Medical College student organization, we actively work to improve the health care delivery to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patient populations through outreach activities, volunteering opportunities, and addressing health issues and concerns within the LGBT community. Our organization communicates and collaborates with other health professionals by creating a positive, safe, and proactive environment for patients in which the highest quality of care can be delivered, and a safe, supportive atmosphere in which our fellow students can foster their personal and professional growth. We educate both current and future physicians on the special healthcare needs of LGBT patients through conferences, discussions, and focused educational experiences, to create competent and compassionate physicians.

Non-Discrimination Policy Statement
The application process is competitive and each applicant is subject to an individual, flexible review. A candidate will not be denied admission on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination involving, but not limited to, such factors as race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or disability. Strongly motivated students from educationally deprived and historically-underrepresented backgrounds are actively sought and encouraged to apply. The College seeks to admit a diverse class, including diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, cultural and economic background and life experience. New York Medical College believes that a diverse student body provides a valuable educational experience that prepares the medical student for the real world of medical practice in a multicultural society. Diversity in medicine has been shown to improve access to health care for underserved populations.
