About the Center for Health Professions Education (CHPE)
The Center for Health Professions Education (CHPE) is a key unit in the Department of Health Professions Education. The Center focuses on the research mission of faculty and learners while the Department of HPE directs CHPE. The Center’s additional activities and programs within the Department help USU meet its mission (e.g.,the Distance Learning Lab (DL Lab) and the Long-Term Career Outcome Study (LTCOS). HPE certificate and degree-seeking learners along with faculty conduct studies of Military Health System (MHS) learners across the continuum through extramurally funded research grants, the Long-Term Career Outcome Study (LTCOS), and future initiatives and programs which are in the purview of CHPE.
Mission
CHPE’s mission is to enhance the educational research of MHS, PHS, and VA health professions faculty stationed across the US and the world. They also conduct important educational scholarship through our faculty programs of research.
Vision
By 2030, CHPE will be widely recognized as a global leader in advancing health professions education scholarship. CHPE’s focus is on shaping scholars to include building the scholarship of our faculty, learner scholarship within our degree programs as well as scholarship generated through other efforts in the department (e.g. DL Lab, LTCOS).
