Our Partnerships, Your Connections

We have partnerships with premier healthcare facilities, laboratories, clinics, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and industry partners throughout the region. These connections provide our students with meaningful work experiences to gain the skills, confidence and connections that are essential to starting successful careers.

In addition to practicums and clinicals, there are many other ways for students to leverage their course work to prepare for careers in health sciences.
