WHO WE ARE
Humans of NYMC was started by the Class of 2021 with the goal of sharing human stories of our peers. We realized that upon starting school, we had 215 weeks until graduation, and there were 215 classmate’s stories to be told. Peers interviewing peers. Our goal is to tell all 215 stories by the time we graduate. Humans of NYMC aims to share first-person stories and photographic portraits, featuring people and places throughout New York Medical College.
Our hope is that these stories will help us connect with each other- a little deeper, a little truer, a little bit better.
Humans of New York Medical College is part of a greater initiative, Project Wholehearted, which aims to create positive change in our medical school community and beyond.
