Employers in this region continue to seek out BCH students due to our reputation as a premiere educator of healthcare professionals dedicated to serving the community.

The cornerstones of a BCH education at the University of North Florida are the hands-on experiences in which our students are engaged.

Our partnerships in the community are extensive and serve to enhance the education of our students in a variety of ways. For instance, the generosity of our partners funds scholarships and professorships that support our students and faculty members. Additionally, our community colleagues provide exceptional training environments for our students.
