The mission of the School of Allied Health at the °µÍøÊÓÆµ is
to educate and develop allied health professionals to serve all Alaskans.
School of allied health
As part of the College of Health at the °µÍøÊÓÆµ, 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 Alaska'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 °µÍøÊÓÆµCollege of Health proudly celebrated the recent renovation of Sally Monserud Hall with a ribbon-cutting ceremony showcasing the new high-tech labs and simulation center, expanded allied health programs, growth of the WWAMI program and critical partnerships addressing Alaska’s growing health care needs.
The School of Allied Health celebrates its summer graduates with a memorable pinning ceremony on July 27, 2023, at the Edward & Cathryn Rasmuson Hall of the °µÍøÊÓÆµ.
How integral is Providence to Alaska? Not only does the hospital make up the second half of the namesake UMED District, but the organization is the largest non-government employer in the state, naturally resulting in the employment of a large number of °µÍøÊÓÆµnursing and surgical technology alumni.
A new degree in surgical technology, launched this year, helps meet an industry need in Alaska while offering further academic options for College of Health students.
The School of Allied Health is home to two clubs at UAA. Learn more about the Medical
Laboratory Science Club and Pre-Pharmacy Club by visiting the Student Opportunities

The School of Allied Health provides a variety of scholarship opportunities for allied
