Where Capable, Confident, and Caring Physicians Thrive
We are a different kind of medical school. Nova Southeastern University’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) has an innovative, patient-centered approach to medical education to deliver confident, capable, and caring physicians. Build your critical thinking skills through real-word cases, small team mentoring, and community engagement.
A Unified Medical and Healthcare Community
To foster stronger collaboration and enriched education, research, and patient care across NSU’s medical and healthcare colleges, all programs within the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences will be realigned under one of NSU’s two medical schools, effective July 1. All programs will continue to be offered with minimal changes for faculty, staff, students, and patients.
Honoring our benefactors’ commitment to strengthen medical and health sciences education, two new schools will be created. The Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences will become part of the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Health Sciences will become part of the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine.
