Professional Behavior Policy

The Department of Health Science has a responsibility to ensure that our students are well prepared and highly qualified to join the health professions. Health Science, Health Care Management and Gerontology require strong academic preparation for and mastery of professional competencies. These professions also require non-academic professional behaviors, such as interpersonal skills, which are as critical to success as those in the academic domain. The goal of this Professional Behavior Policy is to help students demonstrate professional behaviors in class and in internship placements. This document, which is adapted from the Towson University Education Program Professional Behavior Policy, sets forth those essential professional behaviors for the Department of Health Science.

A professional behavior policy serves several important functions, including, but not limited to: (a) providing information to those considering health careers to help students in their career decision-making; (b) serving as one of the key areas for advising and feedback to students as part of their professional development; and (c) serving as a basis for the final assessment of attainment of graduation requirements and recommendation for certification. All majors within our department are required to have a signed copy of this document on file in the office of the Health Science.
