The Allied Health Department at Alfred State provides students with a strong education in a wide range of allied health disciplines through online and on-campus curricular offerings. Allied Health consists of a diverse range of specialized occupations that fall outside the traditional medical and healthcare professions like doctors, nurses, and dentists. Some careers involve direct care of patients, usually as a member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team, and others involve office work and administration. The faculty and staff bring a plethora of industry experience from laboratories and healthcare settings to their work with students. They share the common goal of effectively delivering the practical and theoretical foundations of disciplines through a rich blend of interactive lectures, informal discussion, meaningful laboratory inquiries, and professional practice or clinical experiences. The department offers students direct use of modern laboratory/clinical equipment in real-world or simulated settings and provides the highest-level virtual laboratory experiences.
MISSION
Through rigorous course work, exposure to state-of-the-art equipment, and professional practice and clinical experiences, the Allied Health Department prepares students for employment or continuing education in the technical areas of healthcare.
FACILITIES
Physical & Health Sciences Building – The Allied Health Department is partially located in the recently renovated PHS Building. Four science-ready lecture rooms are on the first floor with eight laboratories found on the second and third floors. The laboratories are outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation, anatomic models, and the latest application software for teaching and learning.
