Healthcare Network Welcomes Columbia-Bassett Class of 2026
COOPERSTOWN—Bassett Medical Center has welcomed 10 new students to the community, as the Columbia-Bassett Medical School Program Class of 2026 advances to phase two of their education: the clinical component.
These students have completed 18 months of pre-clinical training on Columbia University’s New York City campus and will now be based at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown for the next two and a half years.
“The Columbia-Bassett program is unique in its design, giving students experience with both urban and rural patient populations at New York City’s Presbyterian Hospital and Cooperstown’s Bassett Medical Center. We are proud of our long and successful partnership with Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons to provide our students with the best possible education,” said Dr. Henry Weil, senior associate dean for the Columbia-Bassett Program, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, president of Bassett Medical Center, and chief clinical officer and chief academic officer of Bassett Healthcare Network.
