Program Highlights
- Students complete a total of 37 credits in either one year or two years of study. The tuition for the entire program is approximately $36,000 and opportunities for financial assistance are available. Plans of study are “lock-step” and students begin and end their programs with a cohort of students.
- Classes are taught by the University of Miami’s prestigious faculty who are unique because they are also in clinical practice. Their level of clinical expertise translates into education that is scientific, evidence-based, and patient-centered.

- ER/Minor care/Triage at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH)
- Minor Care at JMH South
