N.Y. Public Health Law § 407: Hospitals; privileges to students

§ 407. Hospitals; privileges to students. 1. Whenever the person or

persons having lawful control and management over any public hospital in

any city or county in this state, shall grant to matriculated students

of any legally incorporated medical college in said city or county,

privileges of admission to such hospital for hearing clinics or

lectures, or receiving medical or surgical instruction therein, the like

privileges and advantages shall be granted to the matriculated students

in each and all legally incorporated medical colleges in said city and

county who may desire the same, without distinction or preference, and

upon equal terms and conditions as to all.

2. Nothing in this section shall prevent the directors of such

hospitals from limiting the attendance of students in such hospitals to

a number compatible with the welfare of patients. But in such limitation

they shall receive students from such legally incorporated medical

colleges applying for such admission in proportion to the number of

students in attendance upon such college.
