The Center for Interprofessional Education in Healthcare is a state‑of‑the‑art facility designed to prepare tomorrow’s healthcare professionals to deliver holistic, equitable, and culturally responsive care. As the foundation of our Healthcare Education Hub, the Center creates a modern learning environment where students train together the way real healthcare teams work.
Students from nursing, dental hygiene, community health, exercise science, and public health programs learn together in shared simulation labs, telehealth‑enabled spaces, and realistic clinical environments. This integrated, hands‑on approach builds teamwork, communication, and whole‑person care skills, ensuring graduates are confident, collaborative, and fully ready for practice on day one.
Minnesota faces pressing shortages across nursing, dental hygiene, and allied health fields, and the Healthcare Education Hub expands Normandale’s capacity to prepare more career‑ready graduates. As one of only a handful of community colleges nationwide creating a fully integrated interprofessional education center, Normandale is setting a new standard for accessible, collaborative, and industry‑aligned healthcare training at a two-year cost.
Our new Healthcare Education Hub represents a commitment to students, to Minnesota’s healthcare system, and to every patient who will someday benefit from their care. Your support helps bring this vision to life.
