Our story
Our journey started with a commitment to fill the gap in local health care, igniting the belief that knowledge is power. Acknowledging shifts in traditional education, we emphasize the need for a broader skill set in the evolving landscape of the health professions. We provide leadership training alongside health sciences education, research and service. NEOMED pioneers the future of health professions education and practice through our unwavering commitment to diversity, innovation and collaboration to create transformational leaders.
