It’s about giving our students the tools to lead in a globalized medical landscape.”

“This dual degree opportunity exemplifies NAU’s commitment to global education and interdisciplinary excellence,” added Dr Niemeier “By combining the clinical rigor of our MD program with the academic flexibility of Franklin University, students gain a competitive edge in today’s evolving healthcare landscape.
