Aware of its role as a leading educational institution and aware
of its responsibility to the community that it serves, particularly
the professional community, the Office of Professional Development
Programs was created and organized with the specific mission to
develop training opportunities for our alumni and other
professionals in the community at large interested in pursing
additional training to enhance their professional standing.
Part of the mission of this Office to encourage and promote in
the professional community better and more up-date understanding of
the most critical issues affecting patient population likely to be
treated by these professionals. It is expected to be a dynamic and
interdisciplinary structure that seeks to attract scholars and
accomplished practitioners to engage them in discussions and
dialogues as part of our
Continuing Education Initiatives,
Conference Initiatives and the forum created around the
Adoption Initiative.
