New Medical School Planned
In recent news, the North Shore-LIJ is partnering with Hofstra University to create a medical school together. The plan is for this to be the first allopathic medical school in New York since 1963. The Board of Trustees of the North Shore/LIF University Health System, including Corey Ribotsky, plans to work to help with these efforts.
They are hoping to open enrollment for the first class of 40 students to begin in September of 2011. At the moment, they are working on their accreditation. They plan to use Hofstra’s academic infrastructure and North Shore-LIF’s educational programs to benefit their medical students. They will also have unique access to the extensive research from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.
