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
Pioneer Landing –The Allied Health Department is temporarily located off campus, on Route 244. The facility features a modern lecture hall on the second floor, equipped for science-based instruction. Adjacent to the lecture hall is a student lounge for collaborative study and student relaxation.
The sonography suite utilizes state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment to provide students with hands-on experience in scan techniques and pathology simulation, to meet curricular competencies.
The radiology technology space offers a combined classroom and laboratory setting, featuring both non-energized and energized x-ray systems. Students practice on a cutting-edge x-ray phantom that simulates human anatomy.
While the healthcare management and health information technology programs are fully online, faculty offices are located at the Pioneer Landing facility for convenient access and support.
