Patient care: nyu's academic medical programs are a major element of the University's mission, and its academic medical center - nyu langone health -is among the foremost in the us. The nyu grossman school of medicine was established in 1841; from its earliest years, it has been at the forefront of advancing the medical profession and medical research, including participating in the process that led to the establishment of New York city's health department, establishing the first outpatient clinic, establishing the first laboratory devoted to teaching and research in bacteriology and pathology, creating the first department of forensic medicine, creating the first department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the u.s., and establishing one of the first md-phd programs. Its faculty and graduates have included nobel laureates, the discoverer of the mosquito as the source of transmission of yellow fever, both creators of the polio vaccine, and the researchers who found the linkage between kaposi's sarcoma and immune deficiency in a distinct population of gay men (a key step in identifying aids), among other leaders in medicine. Through affiliation agreements, the doctors and students at nyu grossman school of medicine play a crucial role in ensuring top quality care not only at nyu langone health, but also at the manhattan va hospital and bellevue hospital (arguably the foremost public hospital in the u.s.). The nyu college of dentistry, the largest dental school in the u.s. and most comprehensive oral health center in the world, cares for some 50,000 poor and low income New yorkers each year, operates a mobile dental care program which travels to underserved areas of New York state, and has established a profession-leading center to serve the oral health needs of those with disabilities.
