We provide a learning environment where students and teachers work together collaboratively. Education is individualized - a student can design a program that fits their needs. We are located in a Christian University that includes a medical, dental, allied health, public health, nursing, and other mental health programs. This provides a rich educational setting that welcomes all persons regardless of faith, sex, ethnicity, age and educational background. We have a clinic that exposes students to cutting edge training such as the use of reflective team supervision and treatment.
Students work with diverse populations, age, and risk factors.
