| Mission Statement |
|
Reflecting our diverse and vast community, it is our mission to train, educate, and prepare multiethnic, bilingual healthcare professionals. It is our objective to leverage the cultural and multi-lingual knowledge of individuals and to train them for a successful career in the healthcare field.
Currently, the patient-healthcare professional ratio is disproportionate due to the large size of the community, the number of "beds" available, and the shortage of qualified healthcare professionals. It is our goal to strive to meet the medical needs of our socially diverse community by instructing and developing qualified healthcare professionals with multilingual skills and/or multiethnic understanding.
It is our intent to successfully train and prepare students by adhering to the philosophy of a "Patient-Centered Approach." With courses in Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, and ECG (Electrocardiography), as well as training programs for Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, and Phlebotomy Technician, students completing the courses/programs will be able to confidently demonstrate and practice requisite skills and knowledge.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course/program, healthcare professionals will be equipped to implement "Patient-Centered" care based on a problem solving and nursing/health services process approach. Specifically, the healthcare professional will practice and engage in the following attributes:
1. Recognize the role of the healthcare professional as an advocate for the patient and family.
2. Utilize competent technical skills and abilities when providing care.
3. Reflect regard for patient safety in all patient care activities.
4. Uphold ethical standards consistently in the course of practice.
5. Establish positive, cooperative relationships with all members of the healthcare team.
6. Understand the limits of practice and seek guidance and supervision as appropriate.
