Please contact Dr. Susan Tavernier (sstavernier@alaska.edu) if you have questions or concerns.
Applicants will be considered for program admission on a competitive basis; meeting all admission criteria does not guarantee admission. Special consideration may be given to candidates with clinical expertise, proficiency in other languages, knowledge of other cultures, and a proven record of professional contributions. This information should be documented in the resumè portion of the application. To the extent that there are limited seats available in the program, preference may be given to residents of the state of Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ as defined by the university’s policy on residency for tuition purposes.
