• Provide instruction in health education pedagogy, basic science, and clinical sciences.
• Facilitate the professional development of the students through sound instruction, scholarly activity, and demonstrate service.

The department fosters the development of physical, social, emotional, recreational, clinical and culturally diverse skills to enhance the human behavior and well-being of all populations.  The department is committed to the seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education: student-faculty contact, cooperation among students, active learning, prompt feedback, time on task, high expectations, diverse talents and ways of learning.
