We are dedicated to the health and well-being of the NYMU community. Our services are free, strictly confidential and offered to Semester 1-5 students.

Our office is located in the Villages at Coverley in the building were housing check in was conducted. A private entrance is around the back of the building.
Our staff members are experienced in serving the specific needs of medical students from diverse backgrounds.
