P&S and Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, NY, have established a track in which students experience their 18 month basic science curriculum at P&S and their clinical curriculum, including all core clinical rotations, at Bassett. This program, supervised by the Medical school, permits students interested in learning medicine in a rural environment, utilizing a longitudinal curriculum with an exposure to health care management, to obtain an MD degree.

Applicants notified to appear for an interview should contact the P&S Admissions Office, or the Columbia-Bassett Program Office, identify their interest in this MD degree program, and establish interview dates at both campuses. Interviews on consecutive dates, and logistics attendant thereto, will be scheduled by the Columbia-Bassett Program office.

Columbia-Bassett applicants should submit all necessary materials by November 15 so that interviews for applicants selected may be scheduled as early as possible.

Applicants interested in the Columbia-Bassett program should reply to the question posed unique to this program.
