Covista describes itself as America's largest healthcare educator. The company provides personalised, tech-enabled healthcare education across five accredited institutions, with the stated aim of widening access to healthcare careers and addressing the shortage of healthcare workers in the United States. It serves more than 97,000 students and employs some 10,000 faculty and colleagues, producing more than 24,000 healthcare graduates a year - more, it says, than any other educator in the country.
Its portfolio comprises the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Chamberlain University and Walden University. The institutions span medical, veterinary and wider healthcare education, and Covista's alumni community numbers 385,000, with 290,000 healthcare professionals from that community practising worldwide.
The company's work sits at the intersection of healthcare education and EdTech. Its approach rests on personalised, technology-enabled learning delivered through online and technology-supported platforms. Covista says it reaches students whom traditional programmes often miss, among them working adults, career changers and other non-traditional learners.
Covista also partners with hospitals and other healthcare providers to link education to employment pathways, with an emphasis on building sustainable healthcare workforce pipelines. Its work spans healthcare education, medical education, veterinary medicine education and healthcare workforce development in the United States and beyond.
