Each program provides a rigorous, structured curriculum designed to foster critical thinking by directing the student’s ability to collect information, interpret its significance, and draw conclusions. Classroom experiences establish a foundation of concepts that provide the rationalization for why procedures are performed. Laboratory and clinical experiences build on this foundation by demonstrating how concepts, theories, and models are applied to career-specific environments. These guided, hands-on opportunities are designed to develop skillful techniques and lead students toward clinical competency.
