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.
