The College of Physicians and Surgeons is guided by the
principle that medical education is university education. The acquisition of knowledge and skills is important in
professional education, but far more vital is a profound understanding of science, the art and the ethic within which both
knowledge and skills are applied. As a part of Columbia University, the College builds its curriculum, selects its officers
of instruction, and marshals, its enormous resources of equipment and clinical experience to develop in the student this
understanding of medicine. Within the curriculum for the M.D. degree is the fundamental knowledge from which the natural
bent is discovered toward general or special practice, research, teaching, or administration. The postgraduate programs of
the College provide training in the specialties, help the graduate physician to keep abreast of new knowledge and support
the research from which the physician's knowledge develops.
