Medical Libraries

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is affiliated with two outstanding medical schools - Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College. One of the many advantages of these affiliations with leading academic centers is the access to health science libraries that are among the finest in the country.

The Columbia University Health Services Library and the Weill Cornell Medical Library provide access to extensive collections of journals, books, archival materials and electronic resources to students, faculty and staff of their respective universities and the staff of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and its affiliated institutions.
