CORONAVIRUS Update: USAHS plans a full return to campus for 2021 Fall Term courses and lab sessions. USAHS expects to resume all in-person classes and on-campus academic activities, such as regularly scheduled residencies, weekend labs and course intensives, with the September 7 Fall Term start.
Come study in Miami, where sunshine, international cultures, and opportunity meet. Our brand-new Miami campus is located in Coral Gables, a lush, green residential neighborhood just 15 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from the beach. Miami is world-renowned for its colorful nightlife, sandy beaches, and year-round tropical climate. It’s the perfect place to improve your Spanish, a valuable language for healthcare professionals.
Brush up on your Spanish, or learn a new language, in the second largest U.S. city with a Spanish-speaking majority population. With an increasing number of Spanish patients in the U.S., health care professionals benefit from Spanish proficiency.
Connect with future employers.
Miami is the headquarters for many national and international organizations – across industries. Due to its proximity to Latin America, Miami is connected to several companies’ Latin American operations.
Take a break at the beach.
Our flexible programs allow you the time to enjoy Miami’s many sandy beaches. With a year-round tropical climate, you’ll have many opportunities.
State of the art on-campus resources
Center for Innovative Clinical Practice
Students in our physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology programs practice using state-of-the-art technology with mock patients in our Center for Innovative Clinical Practice. Located on four USAHS campuses, our CICPs are immersive learning laboratories that mimic a variety of clinical spaces and home settings.
ADL Simulation Lab
Watch students in our occupational therapy programs use assistive devices tailored to each scenario as they work with mock patients on daily living skills, such as getting in and out of a bathtub and brushing their teeth.
Driving Simulator
Our driving simulators are built with actual car parts, including a six-speed transmission and a force-feedback steering wheel. Video monitors play simulations, so the user feels like they’re really driving. Our OT students use this tool to assess patients’ reaction speeds and visual perception, and to help patients build or rebuild their driving skills.
3D printers
Our 3D printers enable you to design and build customized assistive technology for patients. Using technology and your own inspiration, you can create orthotics, prosthetics, and other devices that could make a patient’s sports life or daily life a little bit easier. You can even work with patients to create individualized devices.
BTE PrimusRS
This rehabilitation and exercise machine enables you to gather real-time, objective data on patient movement. Using functional attachments, the BTE measures different types of movement—such as opening a door, steering a car, and playing certain sports. It’s a powerful tool for gauging patient progress and assessing how well your interventions are working.
Double Robot
Double Robotics’ telepresence robot enables a remote healthcare provider to communicate with a patient through a movable robot with an iPad. You can practice remote consultations, such as moving the robot around a hospital bed and angling it to assess the patient’s wound. For the patient, the robot offers a closer analogue to a human presence than does a static screen.
Anatomage table
These anatomy visualization tables display fully segmented 3D human anatomy via a fully interactive touchscreen experience. You can see realistic views inside the human body by selecting different planes and cross-sections. You can query structures, save the information inside a USB drive, and study the visualizations in more depth at home.
Become an occupational therapy practitioner and help people of all ages overcome physical and cognitive barriers and improve their quality of life. We offer the MOT program in two formats: Residential and Flex. Visit program page
If you want to earn the identical MOT degree but in a more flexible format, including on-campus lab classes held on scheduled weekends rather than weekdays, the Flex MOT is the path for you. Visit program page
Choose the OTD if you want to prepare not only for clinical practice, but also for expanded roles in the profession. In the OTD's additional two trimesters beyond the MOT, you will gain research experience with a capstone project. Visit program page
The DPT is the entry-level degree in physical therapy. It prepares you for clinical practice with a wide range of patients and in varied settings. It also prepares you for advanced roles in research and practice leadership. Visit program page
