The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education is a seven-year medical program (BS/MD) that was established at The City College of the City University of New York in New York City. It offers an integrated baccalaureate education with preclinical medical education and has a twofold mission: to expand access to medical careers among inner-city youths, particularly among underrepresented minorities, and to encourage the pursuit of primary care specialties among its graduates. Entrance to the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education is highly competitive, with an acceptance rate around 7%, rivaling the Ivy League. Students previously completed their undergraduate work (B.S.) and the first two years of medical school at Sophie Davis (after which they complete the USMLE Step 1) after which students transferred to one of the accompanying medical schools to finish their final two years of medical school which are primarily medical rotations earning their M.D. NYU School of Medicine, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, New York Medical College, Albany Medical College, and (Northeast Ohio Medical University ) were match schools for Sophie Davis graduates. Contracts with Dartmouth Medical School and Stony Brook School of Medicine recently expired due to financial considerations. Beginning in 2016, Sophie Davis will become part of the new CUNY School of Medicine, where students will complete their clinical training. Sophie Davis was one of the first - and last - baccalaureate degree-granting physician assistant programs in the country. Beginning in fall 2016, the school will transition that program into a 28-month master's of science program in physician assistant studies. In 2011 the school also launched its B.S./D.D.S. program where students enrolled in the dual program complete their B.S. at Sophie Davis before transferring to the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine to complete their dental training. ==History== Established in 1973 to address the growing need in the United States—especially in inner city areas—for primary care physicians—the school began as a destination for talented New York City high school graduates of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Sophie Davis currently accepts students who have graduated from high schools throughout New York State. It has a rigorous course curriculum where approximately 40% of graduates become primary care physicians. Those who choose not to become primary care physicians must repay the school a fee. It is named after Sophie Kesner, who was Leonard Davis's wife; Mr. Davis, a graduate of CCNY, was a major benefactor of the school. In 2016, Sophie Davis will become part of the new CUNY Medical School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
