CONTINUING EDUCATION
Overview
OVERVIEW
Miami Regional University helps students become future leaders in complex healthcare systems, influence healthcare outcomes for individuals or populations, and grow professionally.
PURPOSE OF THE CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM
The University prepares students for all levels of professional experiences. Students remain active members of the workforce, applying the knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom to their practice environments. Continuing education courses complement students’ learning experiences and allow University alumni to continue in their field of study and/or grow professionally in those fields. These courses are not vocational in nature and do not lead to initial employment. These courses are not prerequisites and do not provide credit toward any program offered within the institution.
MISSION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
To educate, develop and empower diverse individuals to achieve their career potential and impact healthcare both locally and internationally.
DIVERSITY STATEMENT
The faculty and staff of the University are committed to fostering diversity in the classroom, the University, and the profession. By respecting differences in culture, age, gender, gender expression, race, ethnicity, national origin, differing abilities, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation, we enrich the learning environment, improve professions, and enhance personal creativity and professional growth.
