Curriculum

Our innovative curriculum is designed to fulfill our mission of training primary care physicians. Its design is based on successful academic models, carefully developed and integrated. A notable aspect of our clinical training program is a three-month clinical rotation at a rural setting where many residents have little access to health care. You will learn to treat various cultural and ethnic groups whose lifestyles and attitudes toward health care differ from those you will see in more traditional training sites. It is an enriching educational experience.

Facilities

Nova Southeastern University's Health Professions Division offers a rare blend of tropical South Florida weather, plentiful sunny beaches, an easily accessible campus, a dedicated and professional faculty, well established affiliations with many hospitals, clinics and health care systems in the area, and a mission to educate professionals capable of providing the highest quality health care service. The university's main campus is located on a lush 300-acre site in Ft. Lauderdale, 10 miles inland of the Atlantic Ocean and readily accessible via several highways and Florida's Turnpike. The Health Professions Division complex, dedicated in June 1996, is located on 21 acres and encompasses more than 1 million square feet of buildings. The division is comprised of the Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, Pharmacy, Optometry, Allied Health and Nursing, Medical Sciences and Dental Medicine. The division elicited input from students and faculty members to incorporate innovations in architecture, ergonomics and computer-aided technology that provide facilities to enhance the learning experience.
