Learning
There is a remarkable history being made everyday between the campuses, laboratories, classrooms and offices of the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance partners. For more than thirty years, Thomas Jefferson University has served as the Medical College of Delaware, and hundreds of UD students have gone on to earn their medical degrees at Jefferson. Similarly, Nemours is the pediatric teaching arm for Jefferson. Every year hundreds of nurses, students and volunteers are making connections bewteen the DHSA partners through their work, academic pursuits and life.
In our small state - collaboration wins out over competition and has always been the engine behind leveraging opportunity. All the DHSA partners recognize the merits of a system where future doctors, nurses, administrators, staff and researchers emerge from training with a diversity of experience. With urban and rural areas, high and low-income points of service, wide ranging race and ethnicity, our region offers the type of dynamics critical in an ever-changing world.
Students recognize the DHSA partners as leaders in the field, and value the package offered through classwork that will bring it all together. Ongoing collaboration and creative leadership is making this opportunity more of a factor than ever for the young people choosing to start their academic and professional careers in Delaware. This same leadership promises to be a reason for staying.
The University of Delaware and Thomas Jefferson University offer a reciprocal graduate enrollment program. Full-time graduate students at each institution can attend classes at the partner school at no cost.
Information about this new initiaitve is available at the Graduate Studies site of the University of Delaware.
