According to Andrew Sunshine, Director of the Columbia University Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program, Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine will begin accepting linkage applications for their Fall 2017 entering class.

“We are very pleased about this new partnership between the Columbia Postbac Premed Program and Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine. This linkage agreement will provide highly-qualified Postbac Premed students with greater access to the superb medical education offered by Hofstra Northwell,” Sunshine said.

Linkage is a formal agreement between a postbaccalaureate program and a medical school that enables exceptional students with a strong interest in that school to accelerate the application process. In addition to this new agreement, the Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program maintains linkage agreements with 13 other medical schools and one dental school.
