Medical School
On Tuesday, October 16, 2007 Hofstra University and North Shore-LIJ Health System announced plans to establish a new school of medicine. While not the first medical school in Nassau County (that distinction is held by the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine), it is the first to grant the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. The first classes began August 1, 2011.
The school announced Tuesday June 8th 2010 that it had been approved by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting agency, allowing it to begin reviewing applications as early as July 1. It is New York State’s first new M.D. medical school since 1963, according to Dr. Lawrence G. Smith, the new school’s dean.

Famous quotes related to medical school:
“One fellow I was dating in medical school ... was a veterinarian and he wanted to get married. I said, but you’re going to be moving to Minneapolis, and he said, oh, you can quit and I’ll take care of you. I said, ‘Go.’”
—Sylvia Beckman (b. c. 1931)
“Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
