About the University...
Stony Brook University is a comprehensive university center that is recognized as one of the nation's finest. As the major research campus in the State University of New York system, Stony Brook offers programs of the highest quality in areas of great public need, including the health sciences, engineering and applied sciences, public policy, marine and environmental sciences, and the arts. Internationally renowned faculty members offer courses from the undergraduate to the doctoral level for more than 21,000 students enrolled in more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Extensive resources and support services help foster intellectual and personal growth. Stony Brook ranks second in per capita faculty research to Berkeley among public research universities. According to a survey by the Association of University Technology Managers, Stony Brook University emerged in the top 10% in royalty earnings among all universities and recently became a member of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious 102-year-old organization of research universities.

Located 60 miles from New York City on the north shore of Long Island, the campus is surrounded by a charming, picturesque, and historically rich community which offers some of the finest beaches on Long Island. Stony Brook offers ample opportunity for recreational boating, fishing, diving, and other water sports. In close proximity are Fire Island, the Hamptons, and beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches.

The University campus provides a wide spectrum of activities. Medical students have ready access to all student facilities, including a new student union, an extensive sports complex with indoor and outdoor tracks, pool, squash and racquetball courts, weight room, athletic fields, and 20 tennis courts. In 1999, Stony Brook elevated its entire intercollegiate athletic program to NCAA Division I, competing regularly in football, basketball and lacrosse. The Staller Center for Fine Arts provides an extensive selection of cultural events throughout the year. Professional music, dance, theater, fine art and film are featured, with performances by internationally renowned musicians, dancers, and actors. Students may take advantage of special discounts on many events.

Health Sciences Library & Barry S. Coller, MD, Learning Center serves the educational, clinical and research information needs of the faculty, staff and students. The Library provides access to the Medline and MDConsult databases as well as more than 1,500 electronic full-text journals. The microcomputer learning center contains 74 work stations, three computer class rooms and a reference area with an additional 100 work stations. Students have full access to the internet and many specialized computer programs.

The School of Medicine...
The School of Medicine at Stony Brook, which consists of eight basic science and 18 clinical departments, is responsible for the preclinical and clinical education of students in the five schools of the Health Sciences and for the instruction of students in other schools on the campus. The School of Medicine also provides graduate, post-graduate and continuing education.

Offering excellent research and clinical opportunities, the School of Medicine has attracted a faculty of national and international renown. Our faculty has made important research discoveries leading to the development of ReoPro, used in coronary disease treatment, and Periostat, used in periodontal disease treatment. Scientists have developed the yeast two-hybrid system, a highly-cited technologic breakthrough, which has revolutionized the study of protein-protein interactions. Recently, members of our Microbiology Department received international recognition for chemically synthesizing poliovirus.

The Center for Molecular Medicine is designed to meet the specific needs of the School of Medicine's thematic research programs. The center offers facilities for transgenic animal experiments, high resolution NMR, x-ray diffraction, and molecular modeling studies, as well as isolation rooms for experiments using pathogenic organisms. A highly advanced informatics system links researchers to scientists throughout the world.

In 1998, Stony Brook established an NIH funded General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), which offers the very latest in clinical research and provides a strong infrastructure that enables clinician scientists to conduct extramural supported research studies. The NIH also supports major training programs in Pharmacology, Cancer, Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology, and Biophysics.

Curriculum:

The First Year...
The first year curriculum consists of basic science courses and introductory courses related to patient care and professionalism. The basic science courses are Molecules, Genes and Cells; The Body (anatomical sciences and embryology); Neurosciences; Medical Physiology; and Pathology. The other required course is Foundations of Medical Practice, a recent integration of five previously separate courses: Medicine in Contemporary Society (social sciences & humanities in medicine); Introduction to Preventive Medicine; Introduction to Human Behavior; Introduction to Clinical Medicine; and the first segments of Nutrition. The first year Introduction to Clinical Medicine occurs throughout the year and imparts basic skills in taking a patient history and doing a physical examination.  The year ends with an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), a standarized patient examination, in which students demonstrate their skills on actors in simulated clinical scenarios.

The Second Year...
After a course in Microbiology, the second year emphasizes the study of pathophysiology in organ systems. The Systems Approach to Medicine consists of integrated elements of basic and clinical science related to the neuroscience, blood, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, psychiatry, renal, reproductive, and respiratory systems. Pharmacology is synchronized with the system segments. Medicine in Contemporary Society and Introduction to Clinical Medicine continue in the second year. The latter focuses on the patient interview, examination and correlative skills as  students acquire additional knowledge in physiology, pathology, and the natural history of diseases in the systems course. Students take Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and participate in a standarized patient examination at the end of the second year. Passage of each is a requirement for advancement into the clinical years of study.

The Third Year...
The third year curriculum is patient focused and consists of eight week clerkships in medicine, surgery , obstetrics-gynecology and pediatrics, and four week clerkships in family medicine, ambulatory care and psychiatry.   The academic calendar contains a four week elective block during which many students take neurology, do research or enroll in two-week rotations in emergency medicine and radiology . Medicine in Contemporary Society is integrated into each of the major clerkships.  All students must pass an OSCE at the end of year 3.

The Fourth Year...
During the fourth year, the medical student assumes greater patient care responsibilities and continues to acquire clinical and laboratory skills. The curriculum includes: a one-month subinternship (medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, or general surgery), a one-month didactic course (emergency medicine, laboratory medicine, clinical therapeutics, or surgical anatomy), a one-month neurology clerkship (if not taken in year 3), a one-month experience in surgical subspecialties, a two week block in primary care psychiatry, and additional elective time to complete a total of 8 1/2 months. There is also a requirement that each student complete either coursework or a project in Medicine in Contemporary Society.  All students must pass USLME Step 2 to graduate.

Grading and Honors...
The official transcript reports one of three grades for each completed course: Honors, Pass or Fail. Almost all courses, however, use five grades -- Honors, High Pass, Pass, Low Pass and Fail -- which are recorded internally and may be indicated in the Medical Student Performance Evaluation, the letter from the Dean sent to residencies to which senior students apply. The faculty has determined that a successful candidate for the M.D. degree must pass each unit of the curriculum. Waivers of units of curriculum are offered only to those who, because of prior experience, are able to place out through examination. The student's acquisition of necessary clinical and laboratory skills requires attendance and demonstrated competence with patients, as well as in cytology and dissection laboratories. Passing USMLE Step 1, Step 2, and all end of year OSCEs is required for promotion and graduation.

A chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha, the national honor medical society, was established at the School of Medicine in 1985. The society's purpose is to recognize and perpetuate excellence in the medical profession. Each year, member chapters elect outstanding medical students, graduates, faculty, and honorary members to its ranks.

In 2004, the School of Medicine became a charter member of the Gold Foundation Humanism Honor Society. The Gold Foundation Humanism Honor Society honors senior medical students, residents, role-model physician teachers and other exemplars recognized for "demonstrated excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service." Organized to elevate the values of humanism and professionalism within the field of medicine and its constituent institutions, the Society is fast becoming integrated into the educational environment .

Admissions & Procedures...

The State of New York requires that all students admitted will have completed at least two years of college; however, few applicants without a baccalaureate degree are successful. Premedical course requirements include one year each of biology, physics, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry (all with lab), and one year of English. A basic course in biochemistry is helpful, but not required. The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken no later than the year prior to the year for which the student seeks admission. Foreign applicants must have completed at least one year of study in an American college or university.

The Committee on Admissions carefully examines each candidate's preparation and promise for creative work in medicine, regardless of the candidate's area of concentration prior to medical school. Applications from a wide variety of students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and academic interests are encouraged, as well as from groups that have been historically under-represented in medicine.  The School of Medicine adheres to the AAMC definition of underrepresented in medicine: "Underrepresented in medicine means those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population." The majority of Stony Brook's applicants are residents of New York, however, out-of-state applicants are encouraged to apply. There is no discrimination in the admissions process on the basis of race, color, sex, age, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, or veterans' status.

The School of Medicine expects that each student admitted will complete the full curriculum of required courses and electives under the established School policies. Academic requirements for each year of medical school are available on the Office of Medical Education Webpages. Grades, MCAT scores, letters of evaluation, and extracurricular and work experiences are carefully examined. The candidate's motivation and personal qualifications, as indicated in the application, letters of evaluation, and a personal interview, also contribute greatly to the admissions assessment.*

Prospective students are advised to consult the current edition of Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR). Ordering information is available at the following website:  https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/requirements/msar/    You may also contact their office at:

Since competition for any one school is keen, prospective applicants will profit from reading this book's overview of the medical school admissions process, as well as a description of the educational program of all accredited medical schools in the nation, including Stony Brook.

*The submission of false or misleading information in the application materials or in connection with the application process shall be the grounds for rejection.  If such submission is discovered after the rendering of an offer of admission, matriculation in the school, or award of the degree, it shall be grounds for withdrawal of the acceptance offer, for dismissal, or for revocation of degree.

Application...
Applications should be submitted early in the application season, which begins on June 1 and closes on December 15. Stony Brook participates in the American Medical College Service (AMCAS). Applications to this service are available only on-line at: http://www.aamc.org/

In addition to the AMCAS application, applicants must submit a Supplementary Stony Brook Application. A letter of evaluation from the applicant's premedical advisor is also required. If no such official exists, letters from two instructors, one of whom is in a science field, should be submitted. No other letters are solicited. However, the Committee on Admissions also welcomes letters from others who may provide important information about the candidate. The deadline for submission of the Supplementary Application and all supporting documentation is December 30, 2011.

For the current application cycle for the entering class of 2012, applicants should send all letters of recommendation directly to AMCAS, which will forward the letters to us electronically.  AMCAS will accept letters from users of Virtual Evals, Interfolio, and via the US Postal System.  The address to which letters should be mailed will appear on the AMCAS Letter Request Form.

All application material should be submitted as early as possible. Candidates for admission to the 2012 entering class are required to take the MCAT no later than September 10, 2011.

Application Fee...
An application fee of $100 should be forwarded with your completed supplementary application materials.  Any request for a fee waiver must be accompanied by a recommendation from the financial aid advisor at your school or a copy of the AMCAS fee waiver.

Background Checks...
Stony Brook University's School of Medicine will require criminal background checks for all accepted medical students. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommends that all U.S. medical schools procure a national background check on all accepted applicants. In support of this recommendation, the AAMC has initiated an AMCAS sponsored national criminal background check service, through which Certiphi Screening, Inc. will procure a national background report on applicants at the point of acceptance. (There is no additional fee associated with a background check.)  

All conditionally accepted applicants must consent to, submit to, and successfully complete a criminal background check through Certiphi Screening, Inc. Failure to do so will constitute failure to meet the pre-matriculation requirements established by the School of Medicine and will result in the withdrawal of a conditionally accepted offer.

Acceptances are deemed contingent pending the results of the background check. A positive response on the background check will not automatically preclude admission, and all positive findings will be reviewed by an ad hoc committee who will then make a recommendation to the Admissions Committee.

Accepted applicants are required to notify the Office of Admissions with any changes that may have occurred once the CBC is completed and prior to matriculation.

Early Decision Program...
For the 2012 entering class, applications for Early Decision must be submitted to AMCAS by August 1st. All supporting documents and letters of recommendation must be received at Stony Brook by August 31st and MCATs must be taken no later than July 16, 2011.
Please note that applicants can only apply to one medical school via an Early Decision Program. All Early Decision applicants will be notified of the decision of the Committee on Admissions by October 1st. Applicants who are not accepted to the Early Decision Program will be considered with the regular applicant pool and may then make applications to other medical schools. Please contact the Admissions office directly if you have further questions.

Interviews...
Personal interviews are an essential part of the admissions process for any applicant in which the school has a serious interest. Invitations for interviews are initiated by the Committee on Admissions. Whenever possible, appointments are scheduled at the convenience of the applicant.

Transfer Students...
Stony Brook University School of Medicine will only consider students who are currently enrolled and in good standing at other LCME (Liasion Committee on Medical Education) United States M.D. granting schools of medicine. Students interested in transfer information should email the Committee on Admissions at somadmissions@stonybrook.edu.

Scholars for Medicine Program...
The Scholars for Medicine Program (http://www.stonybrook.edu/ugadmissions/programs/sfmed.shtml) is an integrated eight year Bachelors/M.D. course of study offered to exceptional high school students. While completing undergraduate studies, students participate in medical school classes and activities. Students must maintain a minimum specified GPA during the first three undergraduate years.  All scholars are required to take the MCAT no later than spring of their junior year in college and must attain a specified minimum MCAT score.

Financial Information...
Tuition for the 2011 entering class at the four State University of New York Medical Schools is $24,850 per academic year for New York State residents and $48,770 per academic year for out of state residents, and is subject to change and approval by the SUNY Board of Trustees. Miscellaneous fees are approximately $2,500 per academic year which include health insurance and equipment and lab fees. The cost of supplies, equipment and books is approximately $2,200 for the first year. If you need to purchase a computer, an additional $2,500 may be added to your costs. Expenses for succeeding years are correspondingly lower. Incurred expenses (room, board, travel, etc.) are estimated at $20,500  per year.

Tuition at Stony Brook University is considerably less than the cost of attending a private institution. Financial aid is available to students with documented need. In addition, loans and other funds administered by the school are allocated to all students (regardless of residence) whose financial status warrants the allotment of available support. Admission to the school is determined by the candidate's qualifications and not by the ability to be self-supporting. Once admitted, students may apply for aid. The amount each applicant receives will represent a fair apportionment of aid resources available among the continuing and newly admitted students in the school.

State Residency...
Stony Brook University School of Medicine is state supported. As such, tuition determination is dependent upon sufficient documentation of New York State residency.  If your principal or permanent home has not been in New York State for a 12 month period immediately prior to the date you intend to enroll, you will be considered an out of state student for tuition purposes.  For additional clarification on this matter, please go to: http://ws.cc.sunysb.edu/bursar/residency

Housing...
During the first two years, when much of the instruction takes place at Stony Brook, most students choose to live on campus or in nearby communities. Stony Brook is largely comprised of single family homes which students often share. Access to an automobile may be an important consideration, especially while pursuing clinical clerkships at geographically dispersed sites. Public transportation in the area is limited.
