Training tomorrow’s healthcare professionals
The Elmhurst University School of Health Sciences is made up of health-related departments and programs dedicated to preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals. Specialties included include Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Public Health, Kinesiology, and Communication Sciences and Disorders.
We prepare students for ethical interprofessional practice and research in the changing healthcare environment. Our students graduate competent, compassionate, person-centred, health-centred and inclusive care for individuals, communities and populations at the local and global levels.
We achieve this by providing professional and interprofessional educational, practical and research opportunities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I welcome you to explore the variety of options available, where you will find opportunities to learn and grow, and reach your full potential.
