Department of Allied and Population Health update
Research is one of the key pillars of the Department of Allied and Population Health. Our multidisciplinary department brings faculty from respiratory care, medical laboratory sciences, pharmacy and public health backgrounds to work together to improve care of patients. Faculty are either tenure-track researchers with upward of 25% or higher dedicated time for research or nontenure track practice/instructional faculty with an emphasis on instructional scholarship and clinical service. Our research, therefore, can be broadly classified into research and scholarship of teaching and learning.
