Give Your Health Care Career the NSU Edge
Rare Interprofessional Experiences
NSU is one of only three U.S. universities with both M.D. and D.O. medical colleges, plus dental, optometry, nursing, and pharmacy colleges. We have virtually every allied health program under one roof. Collaborate with fellow students across disciplines, conducting research and treating patients. Integrated team skills like these before you even graduate are rare and valued highly by employers.
Breakthrough Learning Technology
NSU’s multi-million dollar investment in simulation technologies transforms your curriculum into leading-edge realism: this accelerates both your learning and clinical confidence. Fully functional, high-fidelity O.R. simulators, adult and pediatric human patient mannequins, specialized pre-and post-op labs, point-of-care ultrasound training (POCUS), are a few examples.
Strong Service Commitment
Community service is a rewarding and important part of your NSU degree program. Initiatives span wellness, fitness, health and medical care in rural and underserved areas; international mission trips; event participation; exams and wellness care for school kids; holiday programs for low-income families; and dozens more rewarding outreach efforts.
Diverse Clinicals
Build broader, deeper practitioner skills beyond the norm. Our public clinics treat a vast range of conditions and a diverse South Florida patient population — infants to elderly across multiple cultures, nationalities and ethnicities. Employers love seeing that depth of diversity on a C.V.
Always Evolving
Our curriculum and approach are shaped by changes in the profession — now more than ever. NSU faculty are experienced clinicians: they practice what they preach and vice versa. Each teaches the challenges they — and you — actually navigate.
Accredited
All our degree programs are fully accredited, with several earning additional stringent accreditations that exceed many similar programs elsewhere.
