Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Our unique school is built around a new paradigm: taking healthcare beyond intervention to the critical science of prevention. Going beyond the walls of hospitals directly into our communities, we connect with people in health – not just in illness. Our mission is to train 21st century doctors to fulfill our vision, that: “Each person in New Jersey, and in the United States, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, will enjoy the highest levels of wellness in an economically and behaviorally sustainable fashion.” 

You will play a crucial role in paving the way toward this future.

Our unique approach relies on collaborative learning and classes with other health care professional students to fully embrace the context of community and the social determinants of health that are vital to wellness beyond the acute-care setting. 

You will connect with patients from the first day, and throughout your studies, especially via The Human Dimension program, which reaches out even into the homes of people who need a helping hand. Our curriculum is community-focused, clinically-based, highly-integrated, supported by state-of-the-art technologies, and led by gifted faculty from New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive health network, Hackensack Meridian Health.

If this vision and curriculum resonates with you as much as it does us, we hope you will consider  applying to join us. We are forging a new path in the practice of medicine, to the betterment of all.

Sincerely,
