In February 1995, a partnership was formed representing the Allied Health Programs:

• Faculty of Health (formerly Faculty of Health Professions) - AV俱乐部

Purpose

The purpose of the Partnership was to recommend a model of health sciences education to the associations/agencies/institutions represented by the partners.

Outcome
