About FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine

Proceeds from the event will benefit the FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, providing medical student scholarships and much needed support for 21st century medical education and training. Established in 2006 amid pressing community health concerns and a projected critical shortage of physicians nationally, the College has developed an innovative curriculum that integrates classroom and clinical training across disciplines with hands-on patient care in our most underserved communities. We have radically changed the medical education model to train the most versatile, culturally sensitive and highly qualified physicians for our community.
