Philosophy

The Health Science Programs directly support the missions and goals of Chipola College.

We believe that man is a biosocial being who is continually adapting in response to external and internal stimuli to meet a hierarchy of needs in maintaining wellness.  The objectives of Health Sciences is to promote maximum wellness, prevent illness, restore health, and facilitate coping.

Health Sciences, the educational program at Chipola is aimed at providing the student with a learning environment conducive to the student as a active participant.  Experiences progress from simple to more complex with responsibility for learning being on the student.  The program provides for selected and guided learning experiences as well as being student centered and flexible.  Adaptations will be made based on individual needs and differences to meet desired objectives.  Each student's personal growth is fostered in order that they might reach their optimal potential.

Planning, implementation and evaluation of Health Science curriculum is the responsibility of the faculty.
