First-Class Education
A superior medical education awaits future physicians who enroll in Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Students learn in an innovative, highly interactive and participatory program developed by faculty from 24 departments of the medical school and from other Schools of the University. Guided by teams of experienced clinicians and medical scientists, they'll put their learning into action, from the very first days of their training in state-of-the-art facilities at one of the country's leading healthcare systems.
The School of Medicine presents information thematically - by analyzing the human body's systems and the diseases and conditions that affect them - so that students learn scientific concepts in context and relate them directly to health, disease and illness. Faculty preceptors track students' progress and provide feedback frequently. At the end of each course, the School assesses students' acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes to ensure that they're meeting set benchmarks.
