Allied and Public Health is a multidisciplinary department dedicated to preparing students for health-related professions. There are programs with training for direct patient care in medical settings, clinical services in outpatient settings or consulting services in community settings. The curricula are embedded with experiential learning and interprofessional opportunities in the classroom or during internships. And, most of the programs house campus centers staffed by students and faculty that develop professional skills while also serving the community. The demand for healthcare professionals is on the rise and the Department of Allied and Public Health is ready to meet that challenge.
