EdD — Interprofessional Education @ USAHS
Interprofessional education is written into the mission of the Doctor of Education (EdD) program at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS), according to Dr. Sunddip Aguilar, the program’s academic program director. That collaboration focus shows up in EdD courses and also in students’ dissertations.
Students can choose from four specializations and several accelerated options. Many are full-time clinicians, so faculty make themselves available well beyond a Monday-to-Friday schedule, working seven days a week to provide flexibility and support. Faculty also serve on dissertation committees because they want to see students succeed, which Dr. Aguilar considers a key part of what makes the program work.

EdD — Interprofessional Education @ USAHS
[00:00:00] My name is Dr. Sunddip Aguilar, and I’m the academic program director for the EdD program. We have an interprofessional education collaboration focus in our mission statement, and we strive to do that not only just in our courses in the EdD program, but also in our dissertations. [00:00:13] We offer four different types of specializations that students can choose from. We have quite a few different accelerated options. So on top of that, we just have stellar faculty that are really passionate about teaching our students. They’re not just sitting there from Monday to Friday. They’re there seven days a week, finding time because we have clinicians that are full-time workers, so providing that flexibility, providing the support, serving on dissertation committees because they want to see our students succeed. It’s just stellar.
