For graduates of the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, learning does not end at commencement. Across the country, alumni continue to advance their skills, pursue new credentials and stay current in their fields through the University’s robust Continuing Professional Education (CPE) offerings. With discounted seminars, complimentary webcasts and a growing catalog of specialized certifications, USAHS is committed to supporting lifelong learning for every graduate.
The University’s CPE program has long been recognized for its high-quality, evidence-based coursework designed for rehabilitation professionals, nurses, educators and other healthcare practitioners. Today, USAHS alumni have more opportunities than ever to deepen their expertise and earn continuing education units (CEUs) that may apply toward licensure requirements in their professions.
A Valuable Alumni Benefit
USAHS alumni receive a 20 percent discount on accredited continuing education seminars offered through the University. This benefit applies to a wide range of online and in-person offerings, from foundational refreshers to advanced clinical skills. Alumni can explore the full catalog at cpe.usa.edu and email [email protected] to request their discount code.
The discount reflects the University’s commitment to supporting graduates throughout their careers. Whether alumni are seeking to expand their clinical toolbox, transition into leadership roles or explore emerging areas of practice, the CPE program offers pathways that align with their goals.
Complimentary Webcasts
In addition to discounted CEU offerings, the USAHS Alumni Association and the CPE team have partnered to provide alumni with complimentary access to 10 live webcasts each year. Each session is valued at $35 per hour and qualifies for at least one hour of continuing education.
Alumni may register for any of the sessions using the promo code AlumniWeb2026. Those who have not previously used the CPE platform will be prompted to create a profile, which is separate from their USAHS credentials.
Upcoming webcast topics include sleep disorders, leadership development, growth mindset, communication strategies and other timely topics relevant to clinical and professional practice. Email invitations are sent to alumni throughout the year, and graduates are encouraged to keep their contact information up to date to ensure they receive notifications.
The complimentary webcast series has become one of the most popular alumni benefits, offering convenient, accessible learning opportunities that fit into busy professional schedules. Alumni who wish to suggest future topics or volunteer to facilitate a session may contact [email protected].
