Samuel Merritt University Snapshot
At Samuel Merritt University (SMU), we consider our employees to be our most valuable asset. SMU strives to provide employees with a safe working environment, open communications, competitive pay and benefits, and a professional environment. In addition, the University seeks to provide a work environment that is vibrant, collegial, and that embraces creativity, innovation, and scholarly inquiry.
SMU is an integral part of patient care in Northern California. We’re one of the most prominent educators of registered nurses in California, and many of the physical and occupational therapists, physician assistants, and podiatric physicians who provide care in the region are graduates of our programs.
At SMU, students receive personalized instruction and gain hands-on clinical experience early in their programs. Early clinical exposure, in our view, is key to training students in the technical skills and sound reasoning needed to provide care and prepare them to transform the experience of care in diverse communities.
SMU is recognized as a premier health sciences institution. Expert faculty and staff shape an inclusive learning environment where students experience best teaching practices and state-of-the-art learning approaches. We see faculty and students as partners in the teaching and learning process. Our programs, curricula, and courses are designed to encourage active, experiential learning as well as collegial, scholarly, and effective communication. We believe that clinical and practical applications, including interprofessional education, provide a critical foundation for learning in the health professions.
