NSU Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) will host our 5K Walk/Run for Health Equity on Saturday, September 28, 2024.

Venue: Nova Southeastern University
Location: Carl Desantis Bldg, 3050 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd, Davie, FL 33314
Time: 8:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.
Registration is open from August 1st to September 20th, 2024.

This year we partnered with the Health Foundation of South Florida (HSF) PathWell Program to raise funds to support health equity programs in South Florida. Maternal mortality, hypertension, diabetes, and food insecurity continue to significantly impact underserved communities in South Florida and HSF-PathWell has implemented several interventions to help reduce these disparities. Help us raise awareness and support our work by participating in this event.

Interactive educational programs sponsored by Florida Blue will also be available for youth 11-18 years during the event. For more information contact Peyton Beutner at pbuettne@nova.edu.

NSU MD Diversity Mission and Goal

NSU MD is committed to serving Florida, the United States, and the world by educating physician leaders who will fundamentally transform healthcare research, health care practices, and health care delivery systems to meet the needs of patients, families, and society. We believe that an atmosphere where differences are valued leads to the training of a culturally competent health care workforce qualified to meet the needs of the diverse populations of Florida and enhances the development of professionalism in students.

Diversity Pathway and Outreach Programs

NSU MD faculty, staff, and students engage with high school and college students through a wide range of programs.

Pathway Programs – High school students learn about careers in medicine and how to build academic requirements for medical school.

Outreach Programs – Through a variety of events and celebrations, NSU MD engages with the community to attract the next generation of students to the field of medicine.
