We have found the ideal setting for our conference in the prestigious New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), located at 1216 Fifth Avenue at East 103rd Street. NYAM was founded in 1847 by a group of leading metropolitan area physicians, who advocated many important healthcare reforms such as those involving the institutional treatment of the mentally ill. Funded in large part by the Carnegie Corporation, it plays an important role in the intellectual and academic life of medical practitioners. To this day, the Academy library—one of the largest medical collections in the United States—is the only medical library in the metropolitan area open to the public. NYAM is located on The Museum Mile, a lovely stretch along Fifth Avenue chock full of museums and other fine arts institutions. A stroll along Museum Mile is a must if you hope to pack lots of sightseeing into a short New York visit.
NYAM is also a stone's throw from the exquisite Conservatory Garden in Central Park, which is particularly beautiful in May!

Here is a sampling of the museums along Museum Mile:

• El Museo del Barrio: at 104 Street.
• Museum of the City of New York: at 103rd Street
