What differentiates our approach to academics? Interprofessionalism, a healthy blend of hands-on and classroom learning, and a commitment to our community.
Get the tools you need to stand out in a wide variety of healthcare fields, even as those fields continue to evolve. The graduate degree programs at Rosalind Franklin University (Â鶹ӰÒô) uniquely prepare students for fulfilling and successful careers.
Our Schools
Â鶹ӰÒô is made up of six schools. Each offers specialized degrees and training, while working together interprofessionally to improve patient care and well-being.
- Chicago Medical School
- College of Health Professions
- College of Nursing
- College of Pharmacy
- Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine
- School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
Interprofessional Education
Interprofessionalism is conceptually about improving care by developing strong, collaborative multidisciplinary teams that work together to manage many different aspects of a patient’s health and wellness. At Â鶹ӰÒô, interprofessionalism is more than a concept — it’s an academic discipline. We also offer a dedicated PhD program in Interprofessional Healthcare Studies.
Regardless of which Â鶹ӰÒô graduate degree you chose to pursue, you’ll find interprofessional thought processes and practices. The DeWitt C. Baldwin Institute for Interprofessional Education is dedicated to ensuring that the model of team-based, patient-centered care is infused into our curricula. Additionally, you will have multiple chances to put it into practice at Â鶹ӰÒô’s Interprofessional Community Clinic (ICC).
Practical, Experience-Based Learning
Small class sizes and opportunities to engage with fellow students and professors make the classroom a great place to learn at Â鶹ӰÒô. But it’s hardly the only place you’ll learn: We’re big believers in the power of a hands-on education that gives you a strong understanding of how to practice your chosen healthcare profession at our facilities.
To that end, Â鶹ӰÒô has a dedicated healthcare simulation team that creates and maintains realistic practice settings, which allow students to learn and refine their clinical skills without putting any patients at risk. Â鶹ӰÒô students can also apply their knowledge in areas ranging from primary care to behavioral health via the Interprofessional Community Clinic (ICC), where they can work with patients from historically underserved communities.
A Diverse Environment
We strive to create an inclusive learning environment where all of our students feel welcome and comfortable. And we’re committed to more equitable outcomes in health and wellness, as demonstrated by programs such as the ICC and the Community Care Connection mobile health clinic.
