Interprofessional Education
The College of Health and Human Services is committed to enhancing and enriching collaborative opportunities for students in each of our seven academic majors.
Here's just a few programs that provide interprofessional learning:
Through the health mobile unit, students in nursing, athletic training, public health and dietetics (JCAST) are able to provide free, affordable health care services to underserved areas in Fresno County. This gives undergraduate and graduate level students an opportunity to gain experience working in rural communities, while practicing their clinical skills and working as a interdisciplinary health care team.
Health services include blood pressure screenings, diabetes screenings, immunization shots, health assessments, education and referrals.

Developed to create a collaborative academic program between departments, students in the Honors Program work together and with community partners on real-world, interdisciplinary projects that strive to provide healthy outcomes for the Fresno community.
Students within the college are exposed to service-learning and study-abroad opportunities that have taken them to countries, such as Fiji, Dominican Republic, Hong Kong and Taiwan to educate others on health care, provide disease prevention and build clean water filtration and sanitation systems, respectively.
