- Free tuition is gonna attract people
who would make great doctors,
who maybe didn't have the opportunities.
It's going to make NYU
even more of an elite medical school than it already is.
- Physicians and patients nationwide will benefit,
as people are able to focus on
what they came to medicine for,
which often is to focus on taking care of people.
- It's not just a job that you go to,
it really defines the type of person you become.
If you really care for understanding
how you could help your patients,
I think that really affects you to your being.
- I will never forget
what this institution's done for me,
and I think that being able
to help jumpstart someone's career
and contributing to their sense of well-being
is like literally priceless.
- NYU's trailblazing a new path forward.
Hopefully, as other schools take up this model,
it could really revolutionize
medical education in the whole United States.
We are so proud to be a part of this cause,
but it's important to know
that we're not quite at the finish line
to fully fund this in perpetuity.
There's still some more work to do,
but I know we will get there,
and I know we will get this done.
