College of Osteopathic Medicine

Nova Southeastern University's Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research and transformative discoveries. NSU and the College of Osteopathic Medicine play a pivotal role in conducting patient clinical studies that are vital for the progress of medicine. These studies provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of innovative therapies and interventions and allow patients to access potential breakthrough treatments before they become widely available.

Through rigorous scientific investigations and ethical practices, NSU and the College of Osteopathic Medicine exemplify the importance of patient clinical trials in shaping the future of health care; fostering collaboration between researchers, health care professionals, and patients; and ultimately, paving the way for a healthier and more prosperous society.
