health sciences. By so doing, the College facilitates the
development of life-long learners with a liberal arts foundation
who are able to serve society as dedicated, competent health
professionals and community leaders.
Our Values:
- Professionally focused- inspire
with excellence in teaching and model life learning.
We have a passion for our life work and have dedicated our careers
to training the next generation of health care providers and
educators. We look for new ways to improve learning and we adapt to
the need for new knowledge, skills and attitudes. We share our
practical experiences with our students so that what they learn is
directly connected to actual patient care or to our scholarship. We
utilize real-life experiences whenever possible so that students
develop an appreciation for the patient and the societal variables
that add complexity to care of an individual or of a population. As
faculty, we have developed a collaborative learning environment and
are respectful and supportive of one another.

teaching, advising, project oversight and experiential
learning

care practitioners and investigators who exude a high regard for
patient care that extends to our students. We teach others so our
professions can excel and provide better patient care and research
