SPECIAL SERVICES STATEMENT: Students may individually discuss the essential functions and technical standards with a college counselor from our Special Services department. Individuals unable to meet these technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodation will not be able to complete the programs and are counseled to pursue alternative careers. Applicants or students interested in HPS programs who seek accommodations prior to or immediately after enrolling in the college are highly encouraged to also request an assessment of the types of reasonable accommodations needed for the clinical and or internship components of the program.Īn individual must be able to independently, with or without reasonable accommodation, meet the following technical standards of general abilities: (1) observation (2) communication (3) motor skills (4) intellectual, conceptual, and quantitative abilities (5) essential behavioral and social attributes and (6) ability to manage stressful situations. In addition to classroom learning, clinical and internship learning occurs throughout the HPS programs and involves considerations (such as patient and population safety and clinical and internship facility safety) that are not present in classroom accommodations. Therefore, the faculty has determined that certain technical standards are required for admission to, progression in, and graduation from the Health and Public Services (HPS) programs. Students must possess certain functional abilities, essential for the delivery of safe, effective clinical care and protection of the public during clinical and internship training activities in the field.

Furthermore, the program is designed to foster professional integrity and ultimately improve the health outcomes and protection of patients, families, and communities across the continuum of care and practice.


All efforts are designed to build knowledge, enhance practical skills, and promote patient and the population’s safety. The goal of the Health and Public Services Division is to prepare every student to think critically and practice competently and compassionately in rapidly changing environments.
