The Zucker School of Medicine is the medical school of Hofstra University in the town of Hempstead on Long Island, in the U.S. state of New York. The academic institution was established in 2008 by Hofstra University and the North Shore-LIJ Hospital system which was rebranded as Northwell Health in 2015.[1] The Zucker School of Medicine enrolls 99 students each year and offers an MD (doctor of medicine) and PhD (doctor of philosophy in the molecular basis of medicine). It also offers a joint MD—PhD degree; joint MD—MPH (Master of Public Health); joint MD—MBA (Master of Business Administration); and joint MD—OMS (oral and maxillofacial surgery). It also offers a dual-degree "4+4" program comprising an undergraduate degree (BA or BS) followed by automatic matriculation to the School of Medicine.[2]
