History
Medical teaching at Columbia has an over 250 year history, although it is discontinuous.
VP&S is not Columbia's original medical school. King's College established a medical school and conferred the first MD in North America in 1770. The school was refounded in 1791 after Columbia was reopened after the war, but only lasted until 1813. The original dean of medicine left Columbia and founded the renegade College of Physicians and Surgeons, competition from which led to the trustees of Columbia to fold the med school. In 1860, what was then just P&S became Columbia's medical department and the President of Columbia signed the degrees. In 1891, with Columbia University rapidly on the rise, and P&S in financial trouble at the time, a formal merger was executed, bringing the schools full circle.
It was renamed following a 2017 gift by P. Roy Vagelos ’54 and Diana Vagelos.[1]
