M.D. Program Overview
Go Beyond Memorization
Ready for a real challenge? NSU MD is different from any other medical school program. You’ll learn the science of medicine – but we don’t stop there. You’ll also master critical thinking; build your diagnosis and detective skills; and interact with patients as the center of every case.


NSU MD is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion through a partnership with the community!
Build Something Extraordinary From the Ground Up
You’ll not only shape your own educational path while you’re here, but also the learning experience of every future NSU MD student who follows in your footsteps. You’ll have far more autonomy in this program than most medical students will ever experience.
Unique Collaboration
You’ll learn alongside others training as pharmacists, nurses, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other health care specialists. By learning to collaborate effectively with health care providers from different fields, you will break long-standing professional barriers and elevate patient care to new levels.
Our Curriculum Includes:
- Respect for student initiative and leadership
- Curricular efficiency and flexibility
- Attentive, personalized faculty mentoring
- Promotion of scientific inquiry and the acquisition of new knowledge
