College of Health Professions
Introduction
The College of Health Professions, in the Mercy and Jesuit traditions, prepares professionals to lead individuals, families and communities to optimal health and well-being. In order to become health care professionals, students need a strong foundation in the liberal arts and an integration of these courses throughout the curriculum. It is through the integration of health professional knowledge, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning with the arts, sciences, and humanities that the culturally-competent health care professional will be educated. The Vision for the College is that we will be recognized as an urban center of academic excellence, distinguished by community partnerships and graduates who lead, serve, and promote health and social justice.
Health care professionals in the future should be able to work effectively as team members with a variety of other providers and managers in a wide array of settings. Through their course of studies, graduates of the College of Health Professions will be able to:
- 1. Care for the community's health, appreciating the growing diversity of the population and health care needs in the context of different cultural values.
- 2. Provide contemporary clinical care.
- 3. Communicate effectively.
- 4. Manage information and use technology appropriately in the delivery of health care.
