As part of the overall restructuring in RHCHP, the Division of Health Services Education has now been renamed the Division for Health Ethics, Administration, and Leadership (HEAL). HEAL and three departments (Interprofessional Education and Simulation, Service Learning and Global Health Pathway, and Belonging, Health Equity and Social Justice) serve the students in all four schools (Pharmacy, Nursing, Mental and Behavioral Health and Rehabilitative and Health Sciences) and provide distinctive advantages for RHCHP students, giving them cutting edge knowledge and skills in the areas of health ethics, administration, and leadership, global health and health equity and social justice as well as interprofessional education.
