The Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine celebrated the ceremonial opening and accreditation Monday, March 2. Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which accredits medical schools nationwide and Canada, granted the accreditation based on standards of structure, function and performance.
The New York State Economic State Development Corporation grant awarded to Hofstra in 2008 funded $14.5 million of the estimated $35.9 million project.
“I welcome Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine’s expansion which will provide educational and employment opportunities for Nassau’s growing health care economy,” Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano said. “As County Executive and an alumnus of Hofstra University, I am thrilled to join in today’s celebration.”
