School of allied health
As part of the College of Health at the ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É, the School
of Allied Health is home to training programs and facilities for allied health professionals.
Allied health programs are specifically designed to prepare graduates for work in
rewarding careers in ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É's rapidly growing health care industry. In addition to
instruction by allied health professionals, most programs provide experiential education
with students working alongside health professionals in real-work situations.
The School of Allied Health also offers continuing educational opportunities for experienced
professionals who are in need of a refresher course or looking to expand their earning
potential in the job field.
The Associate Dean in the College of Health has been selected by the World Health Organization to serve as an expert on its Technical Advisory Group on Violence against Women Prevalence Estimation and Data.
The ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É Victimization Survey, conducted by the ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É’s Justice Center, shows a rise in domestic violence and sexual assault rates, leading advocates to argue that, despite ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É allocating millions of dollars to combat these issues, the funding is still not enough to meet demand or address the root causes.
The ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É Victimization Survey (AVS) released a new report about the health of women who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Physical violence is a part of IPV, but it also includes things like controlling behaviors, threats of harm, and inflicting harm against people and things an intimate partner cares about. Dr. Ingrid Johnson with AVS told the ÑÇÖÞÉ«°É Beacon these sorts of behaviors can have a lasting impact.
