A Leader in Person-Centered Education and Practice
We are Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU). We are a mission- and vision-driven university, preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals to not only deliver, but also advance health care.
Northwestern Health Sciences University takes a person-centered approach to health education and practice to help people live happier, healthier, better lives. We offer a diverse range of evidence-informed programs and experiences across the healthcare spectrum—from our roots in chiropractic to acupuncture, massage therapy and undergraduate health sciences.
Whether you’re a student considering a career in health sciences, a practitioner looking to enhance your skills, or an individual seeking care at one of our multidisciplinary clinics, Northwestern Health Sciences University welcomes you.
NWHSU History: A Tradition of Creating a Better Future
Since our founding, NWHSU has thrived by balancing change and tradition. As an evidence-informed institution, we’ve always pushed boundaries: launching the country’s first Community-Based Internship program, expanding into a health sciences university, and most recently launching the first competency-centered chiropractic curriculum.
From the beginning, we’ve looked forward. We’re just getting started.
