CPiAH offers 2 types of programs: institutionally accredited certificate programs and VUMC workforce training programs. Both types provide a combination of classroom education and clinical training at VUMC facilities.
Institutionally-accredited Certificate Programs
CPiAH offers 5 programs that are institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). CPiAH has a separate website for these programs that you may visit here.
VUMC Workforce Training Programs
CPiAH currently offers 10 workforce training programs, and we expect to add more. This website is dedicated to these programs.
Our workforce training programs were developed to support VUMC's needs for qualified allied health professionals in a variety of healthcare settings. CPiAH works closely with VUMC Human Resources to recruit trainees.
Earn while you learn! For many programs, VUMC will cover the cost of your tuition, and you will receive an hourly wage with the expectation that upon program completion, you commit to a full-time, relevant position at VUMC and continue in that role for 1 year. Several CPiAH workforce programs also have credentialing expectations. Please consult the respective program pages on this website to learn more.
