Sucharita Boddu

On the block between East 30th and 31st, the midtown sidewalks hum with a mix of students and commuters heading for the hospitals across First Avenue. Sucharita Boddu anchors that stretch, a medical school at 550 1st Ave, New York, NY 10016-6402. The place trains tomorrow’s physicians across anatomy labs, clinical skills labs, and simulation centers aligned with NYU Langone’s curriculum.

They house simulation suites for standardized-patient encounters, operating-room mock-ups, and a virtual anatomy table where students rotate three-dimensional reconstructions of every system. Other spaces host small-group tutorials, research poster halls, and interview suites for residency match preparation. Call (212) 263-5506 to reach admissions or the registrar’s office directly.

Use the map to plot a route through the hospital campus; most visitors end up inside Tisch Hospital or the Smilow Research Center a block south.
