The Touro Scholar team assists departments, centers, classes, individual faculty members, staff, and other NYMC-related groups in setting up spaces for project materials related to course work, research, teaching, and departmental activities.

We accept a wide range of materials. Content is limited to works created or co-created by current New York Medical College faculty, staff, or students (with faculty approval). Campus policies on materials accepted are subject to change.

The Touro Scholar team will work with your staff to determine the best workflows to ensure the long-term sustainability of your collection, including training, uploading, author agreements, and ongoing support.
