UNT Health College of Health Professions

Congratulations to our amazing MSLS team!

Thanks to everyone from CHP who came out to volunteer for Feast of Sharing! It was a great time for a great cause.

Yesterday at Bass Hall, we welcomed a new crop of PA and PT students by giving them their white coats. Each student also took their respective oath. It was a great ceremony and an emotional moment for these soon-to-be clinicians.

We’re excited about the new program!

We're incredibly proud of our DPT students!
