About the Institute
Health embodies the body and the mind. It encompasses our mental well-being, physical and nutritional status, and level of fitness. A wide scope of health concerns are examined throughout the Benedictine University academic program curricula, including clinical exercise physiology, clinical psychology, health administration, health science, nursing, nutrition, psychology, public health, social work, and sociology. Internships complement learned theory through discipline specific supervised practice. Although most of these offerings examine the health needs of adults, Benedictine University offers courses, program curricula, and internships that focus on the unique needs of the youth, elderly, and diverse populations, including women. In some instances course coverage spans the entire life cycle from infancy to elderly. For more information on these unique populations, visit the curriculum area of this web site. The Institute for Intergenerational Health functions to faciliate interdisciplinary communication among professionals in health fields and promotes community outreach. The Institute for Intergenerational Health, as well as health-related academic programs and clubs, coordinate community events, such as seminars and fairs, to provide educational venues for our surrounding communities. Other events are philanthropic, designed to benefit worthy causes including medical clinics, food pantries, and cancer research. Additionally, health services are available to the community in the areas of community assessment and nutrition counseling. | ||||||||||
