Steve Beard
We entered year two of our three-year Growth with Purpose strategy with strong momentum, further integrating our tech-enabled platform and expanding our impact through innovative partnerships. Our reimagined education model creates a more versatile learning experience that adapts to students' needs, driving 11.2% growth in total enrollment.

On the earnings call, Beard announced that Chamberlain will expand its Practice Ready. Specialty Focused.™ (PRSF) education model through a partnership with the Oncology Nursing Society program to meet the increasing demand for specialized training in oncology. It’s the sixth specialty course since PRSF launched at Chamberlain in 2023.

In addition, Adtalem is implementing industry-leading technology that attracts new students and is driving high persistence rates as it continues to swiftly, yet methodically, expand Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities to train practice-ready professionals.

Last year,  Adtalem’s Classroom Experience and Innovation team launched Nurse Ally, a generative AI tutor, at Chamberlain, leveraging Walden’s AI learnings. Students use the tutor in a myriad of ways—from organizing schedules to creating study guides and asking course-related questions. Positive student feedback has led to its expansion into additional programs.

Adtalem also recently announced its partnership with Hippocratic AI to create a new curriculum to train healthcare professionals in AI technologies. This partnership introduces the first-ever AI certification for Chamberlain and Walden students, as well as other practicing clinicians, equipping them and practicing clinicians with the skills to evaluate, use, and ethically apply AI tools in patient care.
