We hope you often refer to this website. The CHP PATH creates a network of support for all CHP students, by promoting academic excellence and fostering the development of future leaders in health care.

Goal of CHP PATH

The goal of CHP PATH is to support all students in the College of Health Professions. Using the Seven Dimensions of Wellness as a framework, students will explore career opportunities in health care, learn academic strategies for success and understand the requirements for pursuing a graduate program within the college.

By incorporating the Seven Dimensions of Wellness into their lives, students in the health professions maintain balance, resilience and a holistic perspective, which are essential for their personal and professional development. By embracing these dimensions, students can become well-rounded health care providers who promote comprehensive wellness for themselves and their future patients.

CHP Academic Advisers

First-year undergraduate students work with designated professional advisers throughout their initial year at SHU. The professional advisers support first-year students in meeting the criteria to progress in their major, learn academic success strategies and connect to resources on campus.

Graduate students work with their faculty and a professional graduate student adviser throughout their educational career at SHU. The professional adviser provides support as students transition from undergraduate to graduate studies, explore career opportunities and develop professional skills.
