Letter from the Dean

Dear Allied Health Students,

Thank you for choosing health care as your profession, and Valencia College as your school of choice! Our Central Florida region continues to grow, and this growth provides a vibrant space to train in some of the most innovative and advanced health care systems in the nation.

Valencia College’s Allied Health Division, a part of the School of Health Science, has used our recent global experience as an opportunity to innovate and adapt to new ways of working and teaching. We are also watching one of the most significant changes in our lifetimes with the expansion of generative AI into all areas of our lives. Our commitment to you is to prepare to help you confidently face the workforce of the future by learning all we can today. 

Never hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have suggestions for areas where we can grow or improve in our service or programs. Our entire team of nearly 100 dedicated staff and faculty have renewed our commitment to the core belief of access and opportunity at Valencia College, and we are glad you are here! Please take some time to learn more about our Strategic Impact Plan and learn about ways that we are engaging in scholarship and redesign to ensure that your experience today, and those of the next generation, are served.

From all of us here in the Allied Health Division – welcome and we are excited to explore new ways of supporting YOU. 

Wishing you success,
