Interdisciplinary Case Conferences (ICC)

You will participate in many events and lectures that will strengthen your knowledge of healthcare and its many facets. You will join other CHP students (those from the School of Dental Health Science, School of Physical Therapy, School of Occupational Therapy, School of Pharmacy, School of Physician Assistant Studies, and the School of Professional Psychology) at the six annual Interdisciplinary Case Conferences where you will work together in teams to solve the different cases presented by CHP faculty. Please take full advantage of these dynamic learning opportunities during your time in the MHA program.
The Health Professions Campus is tobacco free
