High School for Medical Professions

What High School for Medical Professions does

High School for Medical Professions (HSMP) is a public, college-preparatory high school located at 1600 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, New York, operated by the New York City Department of Education. The school serves grades 9 through 12 with a medical-themed curriculum that integrates healthcare and pharmaceutical concepts across subjects, targeting Brooklyn students pursuing healthcare careers. Core programming includes a four-year course of study, Regents/AP/PSAT/SAT preparation, an Advisory program capped at 25 students per advisor, college trips, college and scholarship application assistance, and 50 hours of community service per year (200 hours over four years). Operational leadership consists of Principal Pauline O'Brien and Assistant Principal Heather McNamara.

The school's differentiator versus other Brooklyn public high schools is its dense clinical and enrichment partnership network. Core-tier healthcare partners include Brookdale Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, Lutheran Medical Center / Lutheran HealthCare, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and Kings County Hospital, which provide internship and clinical exposure opportunities. A second tier of enrichment partners — Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC, Urban Arts Partnerships, Global Kids, ROW New York, Mentoring in Medicine, and Kingsborough Community College — adds mentorship, arts, athletics, and post-secondary articulation. The school also runs minor partnerships with Four Seasons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, Brooklyn United Methodist Home, Interfaith Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian, St. Joachin + Ann Nursing Home, and Sunrise Adult Day Care for community service placements.

HSMP's business model is that of a public school rather than a commercial enterprise: it is fully funded through the NYC Department of Education, charges no tuition, and acquires students through the NYCDOE centralized high school admissions system. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The school's only commercial-facing product surface is an Edlio-powered website and parent/student portal integrated with NYC Schools Account and PupilPath/Skedula, supported by a Twitter account (@hsmpbk) and Parent Association meetings for community engagement. The entity has no app, no proprietary software, no AI/ML capability, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no subsidiaries; it does not operate outside of its single Brooklyn campus.
