Hofstra University to Establish New School of Medicine, Partnering with the North Shore-LIJ Health System

Date:10/16/2007

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz and the North Shore-LIJ Health System President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Dowling joined today to announce a unique and historic agreement to plan the establishment of a new medical school on Hofstra's campus in Hempstead, New York.

The Hofstra University School of Medicine, in partnership with North Shore-LIJ, would be the first allopathic (M.D.) medical school in Nassau County and the first new allopathic medical school established in New York State since 1963. Few allopathic medical schools have opened in the United States since 1975. In 2006, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommended that enrollment in medical colleges be increased by 30% by 2015, citing U.S. population increases, a doubling of citizens over the age of 65 between 2000 and 2030, and an aging physician workforce, among other factors. There are currently 126 American allopathic medical schools.

"This is an important day for Hofstra University and for all of Long Island," said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz. "The establishment of a new medical school brings new research and cutting-edge scholarship to our campus, provides our region with better health care resources and allows Hofstra University's standing in the international academic community to continue to grow. Our partnership with a renowned institution such as the North Shore-LIJ Health System will ensure that the Hofstra School of Medicine, once established, will have excellent clinical training and extensive resources from the outset."

"Partnering with Hofstra University on a medical school will further enhance the North Shore-LIJ Health System's ability to recruit nationally renowned physicians and researchers, which will go a long way toward bolstering the quality of health care on Long Island and enhancing the region's standing as an epicenter for groundbreaking
