flag UAlbany and Albany Med launch first public-region nursing program in 2026 to tackle local staffing shortages.

flag The University at Albany and Albany Med Health System have launched a new four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, the first of its kind at a public university in the Capital Region, set to begin in spring 2026 for current students and fall 2026 for external applicants. flag The program will combine classroom learning at UAlbany with early clinical rotations at Albany Med facilities, offering hands-on experience from the first semester—earlier than any other nursing program in New York. flag The initiative aims to address the region’s nursing shortage and strengthen the local healthcare workforce amid ongoing staffing challenges, including a $375,000 fine against Albany Med for violating minimum staffing laws.
