Grow Your Expertise
The Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell offers numerous learning opportunities that work in concert with the MD curriculum and allow students the ability to pursue a second degree, explore specialties, and delve deeper into areas of interest.
MD/MPH, MD/MA, MD/MS, and MD/MBA Programs
Students are eligible to apply for admission to these joint degree programs during their third year. The goal is to facilitate the attainment of both degrees within five years. Accepted students typically take an additional year between their third and final year to complete the majority of their graduate coursework.
