Programs are working toward increasing patient perspectives and patient-focused criteria in the accreditation process. The School of Health Sciences has an advisory committee made up of 11 instructors and 3 patient partners to work on the first and second stages of an implementation plan to be inclusive of patients in the health care curriculum.
The committee requires one additional patient partner to join to provide consultation, feedback, and perspectives on the patient curriculum.
