Southeastern University is on the forefront of providing a high standard of the education,
training and development of healthcare professionals. In the face of a shortage of qualified Allied Health professionals in the
region, the Department of Public Administration created the Center for Allied Health. The Center’s programs include four Associate Degrees in some of the fastest growing career paths in healthcare:
technological advances in medicine, including the development of new types of tests
The increase in the number of group practices, clinics, and other health care facilities that need a high proportion of support personnel will fuel employment growth.
Careers in healthcare are personally and professionally rewarding. To prepare students to fill these roles Southeastern emphasizes academic and professional preparation:
Strong Curriculum: Emphasizes biological and chemical sciences.
Hands-on Experience: Required 700+ observational and practical hours before graduation, including Clinical Externships.
Certification Exam Preparation: Entry-level credentials for Medical Assistant, Laboratory Technician, Cardiovascular Technician and Health Information Management.
Professional Association Membership(s): Leading industry and professional associations for Allied Health.
To provide students with educational experiences in an actual health care environment, the Center for Allied Health Education is strategically located in an urban acute-care setting, Greater Southeast Community Hospital.
