OUR PHILOSOPHY

Academia Medical Institute’s philosophy is anchored on the belief that nursing education should prepare students to function safely and effectively in the generalist role. We believe that nursing education should provide students with an opportunity to progress within a laddered curriculum in order to enhance the profession of nursing and to serve as a foundation for life-long learning. Nurses should be prepared to provide ethical, holistic, and compassionate care to diverse populations in a variety of settings. We believe that by incorporating the standards set forth by our governing bodies, the evidenced-based research provided by our colleagues, and the values and criteria promoted by our national nursing organizations into our curriculum that our Vision & Mission will be accomplished.

TEACHING AND LEARNING PHILOSOPHY

The faculty of Academia Medical Institute believes in providing high quality nursing education to prepare well-qualified, diverse professional nurses to care for patients/families with varying healthcare needs. Faculty are central in achieving program goals along with imparting their knowledge and enthusiasm in preparing competent, skilled, caring, and compassionate graduates responsive to emerging health care needs and trends. Faculty use their knowledge and expertise to engage, collaborate in, and promote the development of clinical decision making, critical thinking, communication, professional behaviors, and caring interventions for individualized, holistic management of care with emphasis on safety and efficiency. Faculty also incorporate relevant and current evidence-based practice content in their didactic, laboratory, and clinical instruction.

The Academia Medical Institute faculty subscribes to Jean Watson’s Caring Theory as a basis for program structure and teaching. The faculty ascribes various levels of nursing expertise and the need for ongoing, lifelong learning. Nursing programs are based on both faculty and student responsibilities in teaching and learning. To meet these goals the ratio of student to faculty ratio for laboratory is a maximum of 16:1 and for clinical 10:1. The faculty is committed to fulfilling legal and professional standards in order to achieve academic excellence.
