Section: History

According to this article, the New York Medical College was founded in 1850 at 112 East 13th Street:

Jacobi, Abraham. "The New York Medical College 1782-1906" Annals of Medical History Vol. 1 No. 4 (Winter 1917), p. 370, col. 2.

This contradicts the information given in the section. Vzeebjtf (talk) 23:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New York Medical College and Hospital for Women vs. Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary

I've removed Kin Yamei and Lurana W. Sheldon from the list of notable alumni.

There were two distinct women's medical schools in nineteenth-century New York City, the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women (founded by Dr. Clemence Sophia Lozier and affiliated with New York Medical College) and the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary (founded by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell at what is now Lower Manhattan Hospital.) The similar names of the two schools frequently lead to confusion in secondary and tertiary sources, since even contemporary primary sources often identify alumnae of these two schools as graduates of "the women's medical college in New York" without specifying which one is meant. As noted on their individual pages, Dr. Kin and Dr. Sheldon were graduates of the Infirmary College, not NYMC. (Potential COI disclosure: I am the College Archivist and historian at New York Medical College and am making these edits in the interest of historical accuracy.) 64.118.223.196 (talk) 17:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier schools with same name?

I found a reference to New York Medical College dating back to 1819. Clearly older than that, because the reference was for a graduation ceremony. Like a different school? https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-pittsfield-sun-summaryus-sloop-onta/140061546/ Had recently relocated to Barclays Street.

There's also the 1829 school on Eldridge https://www.newspapers.com/article/lancaster-intelligencer-the-new-york-med/140062501/ I believe this was a replacement for the above when teh faculty walked out: https://www.newspapers.com/article/vermont-chronicle-untitled-the-disput/140062823/

And there's another NY Medical College founded 1850 https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-weekly-wisconsin-the-new-yokr-medica/140062197/

I do find the reference to the one for this WP article at approcximately the date in the article. Dovid (talk) 00:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
