In addition, we welcome applicants with advanced practice certification and two years of clinical experience to teach graduate students in care systems leadership, midwifery and several nurse practitioner tracks: Family, Adult-Gerontology (Acute and Primary Care), and Family Psychiatric Mental Health.

Candidates must demonstrate commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and the University's mission, vision and values. The College emphasizes care of underserved and marginalized populations, both locally and abroad. In concert with our Jesuit mission, we are dedicated to social justice and formation for leadership.
