The Purpose and Philosophy of the Department of Allied Health
Educational programs offered by the Department of Allied Health afford students the opportunity to develop the comprehensive technical and professional skills necessary to effectively function as integral members of today's multi-disciplinary and dynamic health care team. Health care professionals who hold academic degrees are typically better prepared to assume leadership roles in the health care environment.
The philosophy of the Clarion University Department of Allied Health is consistent with the mission and philosophy of Clarion University and the School of Nursing and Allied Health in establishing as the Department's primary goal the provision of educational experiences designed to promote scientific inquiry, creative thinking, critical judgment, and self-evaluation. The students' allied health education is complimented by such curriculum offerings as humanities, natural sciences, behavioral sciences, and free electives. Programs are based on the concept of continued self-development so that graduates will aspire to improve and expand their competencies on a continuing basis after graduation. And as sensing, thinking beings, our graduates will make conscious choices and assume responsibility for their consequences thereby serving the public as dedicated health care professionals.
