How to Get Into Zucker SOM at Hofstra/Northwell

Dean of Admissions, Dr. Rona Woldenberg, bring us up to date on what’s new at the Zucker Medical School at Hofstra/Northwell, while also sharing gems on medical school admissions in general and Zucker in particular.

0:00 Intro
2:06 What would be the first thing you would want applicants and potential future physicians to know about Zucker SOM?
3:32 Can you provide an example of how being learner-based as opposed to teacher-based is reflected in a particular subject?
5:23 Since we spoke almost three years ago, the Hofstra/Northwell Medical School became the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell at Hofstra Northwell University. Can you tell us about the gift that triggered that name change?
7:01 Let’s look at the Zucker Medical application process. Any tips for the Zucker secondary?
8:40 One of the questions is, “If you are not currently a matriculated student, what have you been doing?” What are you looking for in asking that question?
10:20 I understand that Zucker is now using the CASPer and MMIs. Why the CASPer in addition to the secondary?
13:12 How was Zucker affected by the change in traffic rules last spring?
19:21 How are Zucker graduates doing in the Match?
21:10 Let’s say you speak to someone who really, really wants to be a doctor, but who hasn’t shown they can handle the demands (academic, interpersonal, or emotional) of medical school. What is your advice for that person?
28:13 And on a forward-looking note, what advice would you give to med school applicants thinking ahead and planning to apply in 2020?
30:38 What would you have liked me to ask you?

I wish Hofstra Medical school was around when I was in Medical school. What a great approach to learning.
