JCHP Faculty Research
Welcome to the JCHP Faculty Research Directory. This resource facilitates the identification of faculty members in the college who are studying a broad array of topics related to the practice and teaching of diverse health professions. We intend for this to promote collaboration with scholars both within and beyond TJU, and to elicit interest among present and future students to pursue research and scholarship with our faculty.
