About the CUNY School of Medicine, Physician Assistant Program https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/csom/history-and-mission#overlay-context=csom
The
Harlem Hospital Physician Assistant Program was founded in 1970 as a joint
project of the Harlem Hospital Center and Columbia University School of Public
Health. The program is one of the oldest in the country, founded only five
years after the birth of the profession. It was developed to train individuals
with prior health care experience to practice primary care in communities of
greatest need.
In 1972, the Program
developed an academic affiliation with Antioch College which continued until
the New School for Social Research assumed responsibility from 1974-1978. In
1978, the Program partnered with the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical
Education of the City College of New York (CCNY) and now is The CUNY School of
Medicine Physician Assistant Program.
