California Health Sciences University
Company Overview
Founded in 2012 and envisioned by the Assemi family, California Health Sciences University (CHSU) offers a local option for those seeking doctoral and post-graduate programs and to help remedy the shortage of health care services offered in the Valley. We currently offer a four year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program. CHSU students enjoy the unique combination of high quality of life, affordable cost of living, and plentiful career opportunities in health care that the Valley provides. We make student success our highest priority through the team-based learning (TBL) approach; innovative curriculums and a culture of support which includes academics, wellness, leadership and career services. Students feel supported by their peers, the administration, faculty, and staff of the University, as well as the leadership, including the Board of Trustees. The University is proudly guided by a stellar Board of Trustees from varying health care, education and business backgrounds. Long-time educator and community leader, Dr. John D. Welty, President Emeritus at California State University, Fresno, serves as the Board Chair and has helped to fast track the university. The Founding President of CHSU, Florence Dunn, is a long-time Valley resident and a former Bank Executive.
