Message from the Dean

Dean Goodman

SUNY Upstate Medical University has a strong base of scientific researchers and a relevant clinical setting which provides students with an excellent environment to learn and grow. Students will find a supportive atmosphere here, thanks to our faculty, staff and student body which are tight-knit and friendly.

Students will also experience an interdisciplinary approach to modern science which is the kind of training they need for future career success.

For newcomers to the region, Syracuse itself is in a beautiful part of the country, and there are cultural and recreational attractions which provide a well-rounded life for students.
