Why study with USAHS in St Augustine?

Immerse yourself in history.

The longest continually-inhabited European-founded city in the United States, St. Augustine was established in 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain. Take a trolley ride to survey the city’s rich history, and visit museums and landmarks such as Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, Castillo de San Marcos, and the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse.

Broaden your job opportunities.

St. Augustine’s growing economy and coastal location pave the way for a variety of career paths in a diversity of healthcare settings. At USAHS, students benefit from access to an on-campus career services advisor, an up-to-date job board, two annual job fairs, a writing center, and complimentary counseling and tutoring services.

Connect with your locale.

At USAHS, our programs are flexible – allowing you the time to take a breath and uncover your surroundings. Visit Anastasia State Park, a protected wildlife sanctuary, or St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, take a fishing expedition, or go boating or play volleyball by the pier.

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.
