From the Desk of the Provost
This is a pivotal point in time for both higher education and health care. As we come back together and resume previous activities, we have a critical choice to make at each turn along the way: do it the way we have in the past, do it better, or don鈥檛 do it at all. Our communities are questioning the value of both industries and as clinical and academic professionals we bear the burden of justification for what we do and why we do it. Our world is weary, bruised, savvy and determined to be part of the conversation moving forward. The learners coming up are asking questions and inserting their voice in the answers. We must be ready, willing and able to invest the time and resources it will take to build the next versions of both higher education and health care.
I believe Western University of Health Sciences is ready. Not only can we help lead this work, but we can also set the bar. The tremendous talent and diverse expertise within our eight colleges and across our two campuses differentiates our university as one cohesive and collaborative interdisciplinary team. Together we have one job 鈥� to educate and train future health professionals to protect and partner with their communities in achieving health and wellness. I have never been prouder of what we do or more convinced of our ability to do it well. At SWAG视频 we are building the future, 3,833 students at a time.
