— — — NYMC SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (SOM) SOM facts: Our educational philosophy prioritizes emotionally-connected patient care and we prepare our students for this approach from their first days. They experience frequent face-to-face interaction with patients in such clinical settings as family practices; La Casita de la Salud, a student-run clinic in East Harlem; and with a standardized patient pool in our Clinical Skills and Simulation Center.
