CHICAGO (AP) - Roosevelt University is creating a new college focused on health care education.
Officials at the Chicago university said the College of Science, Health and Pharmacy combines existing programs in science and pre-health. The new college includes 16 total academic programs.
Dr. Melissa Hogan and Dr. Kelly Wentz-Hunter have been named as the college’s co-deans.
Hogan has been dean of the College of Pharmacy since 2016 and Wentz-Hunter has been chair of the Biological, Physical and Health Sciences Department since coming to Roosevelt in 2006.
“We are facing a new era in health care,” Wentz-Hunter said in a statement. “We have a unique opportunity to leverage our successful programs and provide a more holistic approach in training and educating our future professionals, guided by our social justice mission.”
