Leading the conversation in medicine and health.

The New York Academy of Medicine’s Fellows and Members are a community of distinguished professionals, elected by their peers, who share NYAM’s commitment to achieving health equity.

Our Fellows are top practitioners, academics and policy makers in their fields, which span medicine, nursing, social work, public health, administration, health policy, pharmacy, dentistry, law and government. NYAM also offers Membership, Associate Membership and Student Membership levels for early career professionals, graduate students and recent graduates in the health professions and related fields.

In a tradition of honor and service, the Fellows are organized into diverse Sections and workgroups that address clinical and population health issues facing individuals and communities in New York City and cities around the world. Working collaboratively across disciplines, specialties, and institutional boundaries, Fellows participate in cutting edge research, educational, and health policy programs; organize events addressing critical health issues; and enjoy unprecedented networking opportunities as well as active engagement with NYAM's staff, programs and Library.

Each year, NYAM also awards more than $400,000 in grants and fellowships to medical students, seasoned physicians, and investigators to support the advancement of health care studies. For more information, see Awards & Grants.
