The Renaissance School of Medicine consists of basic science and clinical departments that have the responsibility for preclinical and clinical instruction of medical students in all the schools of the Health Sciences Center, as well as university-wide responsibility to students in other schools on the campus. Basic science departments include the departments of anatomical sciences, biochemistry and cell biology, biomedical engineering, microbiology, neurobiology and behavior, pathology, pharmacological sciences, and physiology and biophysics. Clinical departments include the departments of anesthesiology, dermatology, emergency medicine, family medicine, medicine, neurological surgery, neurology, obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive medicine, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, preventive medicine, psychiatry and behavioral science, radiation oncology, radiology, surgery, and urology.

In addition to instruction at the undergraduate and professional levels, these departments have major responsibility for graduate, postgraduate and continuing education. The goal of each of these departments is to:

1. Integrate as rapidly as possible new scientific knowledge and the advances of basic research into the training of every health professional
2. Promote input from all university disciplines into education and research in the health sciences
3. Ensure that every healthcare professional trained in the school is prepared to provide the highest level of patient care. In the basic sciences, these efforts are enhanced by collaboration with colleagues at the biology and medical departments of Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold spring Harbor Laboratory and other research institutions in the vicinity. In the clinical departments, these objectives are enhanced by Stony Brook University Hospital as well as by the clinical affiliates of the Nassau University Medical Center, the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and various community clinical facilities integrated under a variety of arrangements.
