Are NYU medical students expected to work in primary care?

[john7991]

I read that NYU’s tuition is free but that they want students who are interested in going into primary care due to the shortage of doctors there.

Are a premed student’s chances low at getting into NYU medical if they don’t plan on primary care?

Considering how well-embedded "gunner" culture is among both applicants and matriculants to the school, the answer is no.

NYU Long Island? Yes. Grossman? Not a chance.

Is Grossman tuition free?

NYU Grossman sends 45% of their class to primary care from match list. A similar ranked school ranked known for primary care, UCSF, sends 51%.

Most peer schools seem to follow similar patterns..

I remember one CNUsplainer explain that CNU was a good school because "only 5% of its grads go into Primary care."

That's exaggerated, because IM is considered primary care even though most people will go into fellowships later on to specialize. OB/GYN is also considered primary.

NYU sends less IM than peer schools, but nearly triple the amount of psychiatry; 11-15% go into psychiatry. Harvard sends 32% to IM; UCSF 25%; NYU 15%. Not sure what that means but interesting.
