TRAINING TOMORROW’S
HEALTH CARE LEADERS
The Heritage College exists in Athens, Cleveland,
and Dublin (near Columbus). Your particular program
will determine which campus you’ll call home, but
wherever you study, you’ll have the same academic
experience and proceed as part of the same class.
Although each campus has unique perspective and
leadership, all share in the greater culture of collaboration
and our personable, family-like atmosphere.
Our Pathways to Health & Wellness Curriculum keeps
personal well-being at the forefront, while ensuring that
our graduates are fully prepared succeed in today’s rapidly
changing health care environment. Through small group
coaching, integrated active learning labs, and clinical and
community experiences, you’ll develop the skills you need
to keep pace with the complexities in health care delivery
and to lead interprofessional health care teams. At the
same time, you’ll learn how to lead positive, mindful and
empathic lives professionally and personally.

You’ll need your white coat right away. Our students have their first clinical experiences early on, so
be prepared to step out of the classroom and into the exam room. Soon after orientation, you’ll begin
developing such clinical skills as patient interviews, physical examinations, and diagnosis, in local clinics
and in our on-site simulated clinics.
