A Word from President Joseph Stiefel
Dear Visitor,
As the university's president, I want to share my enthusiasm
about why National University of Health Sciences is so unique. It's
more than our commitment to integrative medicine, our focus on
evidence-based health care, and our history of maintaining high academic
standards and a rigorous curriculum.

I'm enthusiastic about National University of Health Sciences
because we are redefining what both physicians and patients should
expect from today's health care marketplace. We prepare our
students for a new emerging health care landscape - one where
different specialties work together by sharing knowledge, skills,
and research for better patient outcomes. One where natural and
conservative care is combined with the best of modern diagnostic
and treatment options for better results at a lower cost.
Our graduates often go on to become leaders within their
professions. The reason they do is because we train them to be
leaders. We train them to be lifelong learners, and give them a
broad scope of knowledge and skills. This way, they'll be ready to
apply new research, adapt to new health care delivery systems, and
succeed no matter which direction their career takes
them.
Whether you study at our Florida or Illinois location, or whether you're an
undergraduate student, a professional degree student, or seeking
excellence in postgraduate and continuing education, National
University of Health Sciences offers you uncompromising
science-based learning.
We're proud of what we do, and equally proud of our students and
graduates. I hope you'll join us as
we define the future of integrated health care.
Sincerely,
Joseph P.D. Stiefel, MS, EdD, DC
