Program Advisory Board
The Advisory Board for the Bachelors in Health Services Program is a collaborative body composed of accomplished professionals, academics, and community leaders from a wide range of disciplines both outside and within VCU. Its mission is to provide strategic guidance, industry insight, and interdisciplinary perspectives that enhance the quality, relevance, and impact of our undergraduate curriculum.
