Health and Wellness
As a student at NSU, your well-being is our priority. Take advantage of our comprehensive healthcare services and programs designed to support your physical and mental health throughout your academic journey.
Student Health Care Services: Experienced professionals dedicated to meeting your medical needs. From routine check-ups to specialized care, we're here to help you stay healthy and thriving.
Student Wellness and Support: Prioritize your mental and emotional well-being with our Student Wellness Program and Mental Health Services. Access resources, workshops, and counseling to promote balance and resilience in your daily life.
Student Societies
Students are supported academically and emotionally through the Societies program, a core element of our Wellness initiative. Upon enrollment, students are randomly assigned to one of ten Fort Lauderdale Campus societies or one of seven Tampa Bay Regional Campus societies.
These Societies form close-knit communities of approximately 25 students from each class, led by faculty leaders, academic advisers, and peer mentors. Students remain in the same society throughout their four years of medical school, fostering personalized support and a sense of belonging.
Veteran's Benefits
We are proud to support our veterans in achieving their educational goals. Explore resources for accessing veterans' benefits, academic advising tailored to military experience, and a supportive community of fellow veterans. Our team is here to assist you in navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of student life as a veteran.
