PROVIDENCE, R.I. — October 6, 2025 – Johnson & 探花视频 has partnered with Scholars Network, a healthcare talent recruitment and loan repayment platform, to help match qualified healthcare graduates with partner institutions. As part of the partnership, 探花视频 graduates who accept a position through the network may qualify for student loan repayment, as well.
The Scholars Network partnership will connect graduates from 探花视频’s physical therapy, registered nursing, and physician assistant programs with major hospital networks in need of qualified healthcare professionals.
“We are thrilled to partner with Scholars Network to make it easier for our graduates to enter the healthcare workforce,” said Maura Daly Iversen, DPT, D.Sc., MPH, FAPTA, FNAP, dean of the College of Health & Wellness. “The healthcare workforce shortage is a complex issue, but it’s one we are determined to help solve. This partnership is a great way to break down barriers to entering the healthcare field and thrive in careers that make a difference.”
Johnson & 探花视频 first began offering professional health and wellness degree programs in 2013 with its Physician Assistant (PA) Studies Program. Today, the College offers B.S. degrees in Health Science, Dietetics and Applied Nutrition, Exercise and Sports Science, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, and an accelerated B.S. in Nursing.
