The New York Medical College and Hospital for Women was incorporated by a special act of the legislature, under the University of the State of New York, April 14, 1863. The charter of this institution is still valid.

Dr. Clemence S. Lozier was the pioneer who made it possible for women to study medicine in New York City. Before this college was opened for women students, there was no place in New York City where a woman could study medicine.
