Publishers' Coalition

Unique to most consortiums is NCHSTE's Publishers' Coalition. It is composed of competitive publishing companies with a special interest in health science and technology education. To become a member of the Publishers' Coalition, a company completes an application for approved membership, pays the requested membership assessment, and agrees to elect a representative from the Coalition to serve on the Board of Directors. In return, each member of the Coalition is kept informed about trends and issues discussed by the Board about health science, technology education, health care industry, and NCHSTE's products and services. Such access affords the Coalition members with "cutting edge" information regarding current and future publications. Current members of the NCHSTE Publisher' Coalition are the following:
