Introduction

It is a collaborative program with Mansfield University's Department of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences and Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital. Students spend the first two years on the campus in Mansfield, PA completing program pre-requisites and general education courses. After meeting the program pre-requisites, students will spend their second two years plus one summer engaging in respiratory specific didactic course, clinical courses and hands on experiences at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA, where they complete classroom and clinical experience. Students will also have the opportunity to rotate to several other clinical affiliates gaining valuable hands on clinical experiences.

In all clinical courses, the clinical instructor provides ongoing feedback to the student through weekly written performance evaluations. Each student provides the program with weekly feedback through completion of online clinical instructor and rotation evaluation surveys.
