Welcome
From the Dean
Dear Prospective Student,
When we created the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine we built its foundation on 10 essential values: Community, Scholarship, Innovation, Learning, Humanism, Professionalism, Patient-Centeredness, Reflection, Vision and Diversity.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the School of Medicine is dedicated to inspiring and enhancing a diverse and promising student body to become the physicians of tomorrow. It is our commitment to diversity that makes us stronger, giving us the further ability to bring together a mosaic of people, with a wide variety of backgrounds, styles, perspectives, values and beliefs as assets to the School of Medicine. | more |
From the Assistant Dean for Diversity & Inclusion
Dear Prospective Student,
As Assistant Dean for Diversity and Inclusion for the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, I would like to extend my greetings and a warm welcome to you. We realize that the decision to enter medical school can be very daunting as well as trying to select the right school for you. At Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, we place great emphasis on promoting the recruitment, retention and advancement of a diverse student body, with a focus on underrepresented minorities in healthcare. We feel strongly that the future physicians of this country need to reflect the growing diversity of our surrounding community and our country at large. At Hofstra North Shore-LIJ we believe that diversity in health care will help to address the many health disparities witnessed in underserved and minority communities. | more |
