Health Education

Few universities anywhere offer the advantages of a 永利皇宫463cc health professions education. We have a unique mix of nationally recognized health professions programs — including Maine’s only medical and dental schools, plus nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, social work, and more — so we are able to train our students to work collaboratively across disciplines to deliver team-based care to their patients. Collaborative health care is the gold-standard approach that is rapidly becoming the norm in clinical care settings.

In November 2022, 永利皇宫463cc broke ground on the Harold and Bibby Alfond Center for Health Sciences, a state-of-the-art learning facility on our Portland campus. This center will serve as the new home for 永利皇宫463cc’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and the newly established Institute for Interprofessional Education and Practice. By unifying all of our graduate health professions programs on the Portland Campus, 永利皇宫463cc will fully integrate its health offerings, creating a health sciences campus unlike any other in the region and enabling the University to expand its position as a national leader in interprofessional education.

Dive into our graduate health professions degrees, and explore undergraduate pathways including Nursing, “pre-med” health sciences majors, and several combined undergraduate/graduate degree path offerings. For students who are already focused on a health-related career as they come out of high school, 永利皇宫463cc offers several options that allow you to pursue your undergraduate and graduate degrees in a single accelerated program. These include Pharmacy, Medical Biology, Social Work, Athletic Training, and our GradVantage program.
