PHILOSOPHY
The faculty of the Health
Careers Center
of the Mercer County Technical Schools believes that:
• Adult education
is a partnership between teacher and student that requires the sustained
cooperative effort of both parties to achieve learning objectives.
• Health Careers training programs should be available to any person,
regardless of sex, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, affectional or sexual orientation or marital status who shows reasonable promise of
being able to complete the program.
• All levels of health care workers are valuable to the health care
team.
• Curricula for health careers programs should be designed to prepare
the student in the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to meet
the legal standards of practice for the specific training area.
• Program completers will be qualified to sit for the certifying or
licensing examinations of their specific area of study.
• Program completers will be prepared to function effectively as
entry-level personnel in their specific area of study.
