The CAHP is an emerging statewide resource to address healthcare workforce shortages through developing signature academic partnerships linking UMN allied health programs with other programs in the state. The goal is to integrate curricula, develop state-of-the-art learning platforms, and provide geographically distributed access to programs through performance sites that will provide student advisement, enhance learning, house "hands on" laboratories for skill acquisition, and serve as logistical support sites for digital technology that enhances learning.
