MISSION

The College of Allied Health Professions exists to meet the ever-changing needs of society by preparing competent professionals from diverse backgrounds. The College fosters critical thinking, ethical behavior, life-long learning and scholarship.

Since its inception in 1966, the College has prepared well-rounded practitioners who are sensitive to patient/client needs and whose professional competence is built on a solid foundation of clinical theory, laboratory practice and clinical fieldwork. Through its baccalaureate upper-level professional programs in Health Information Management, Nursing, and Occupational Therapy, the College prepares highly competent individuals who meet the entry-level requirements of their professions and are qualified to take state and/or national examinations leading to certification or licensure in their fields. Through its four-year undergraduate programs in Communication Sciences, graduates are prepared for careers or graduate study in a wide variety of fields including organizational management, communication studies, law, conflict management and human relations, linguistics, and communication disorders.

At the graduate level, the College offers entry-level health professional programs in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Speech-Language-Hearing. Advanced graduate programs are also offered in Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language-Hearing, Communication Sciences, Applied Communications and Linguistics

For the programs in Communication Sciences, students are admitted as freshmen or are admitted at other times by transfer from other universities/colleges or by intrauniversity transfer.

For programs in Health Information Management, Nursing, and Occupational Therapy, students must successfully complete at least 55 credits of preprofessional college work at Temple University or other university/college prior to completion of two-three years of professional study at the College. Typically, freshmen are admitted to the Division of University Studies to begin the completion of their pre-professional requirements, which include the University Core Curriculum. Applications to the College of Allied Health Professions are accepted for review after satisfactory completion of 45 semester hours of pre-professional college work, usually in the third semester of preprofessional study. Admissions to these upper-level programs normally occur in September and at the junior level. For more information, please call the Office of the Dean or visit our Web Page at http/www.temple.edu/

For all of the entry-level graduate programs, students may apply to the programs in the senior year of their undergraduate study. Special cases may be considered for admission in January. Students interested in the entry-level Physical Therapy program are also admitted in September, but at the graduate level. Information about this program may be found in the Graduate Bulletin.

Applicants are notified of a final decision in a letter from the College of Allied Health Professions. An acceptance letter will include the department and semester in which study is to begin. Applicants are discouraged from making arrangements with ot her sections of the University (residence, etc.) until the letter of acceptance has been received. Students will be requested to confirm their acceptance of admission with a $100.00 tuition deposit.

Individuals possessing a baccalaureate degree in other fields may be considered for admission to an undergraduate program in the College. Contact the department for further information.

A student transferring from another institution should apply to the Temple University Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To be admitted, the applicant must have completed a minimum of 55 semester hours of transferable work and must fulfill the pre-professional requirements described in each of the department sections. At no time will credit be transferred if the quality of work is less than a C- grade or its equivalent. Under certain conditions, no work below a B or its equivalent is acceptable. A transfer student not meeting these conditions may enroll in the Division of University Studies for completion of pre-professional requirements and may reapply to the College of Allied Health Professions. For admission requirements as a transfer student, see Undergraduate Admissions. Since enrollment is limited, applicants are urged to apply early -- preferably nine to twelve months prior to the semester in which they plan to enroll.

(Deleted as of 3/21/00)

The College of Allied Health Professions offers provisional admission to its undergraduate professional programs to outstanding freshmen entering Temple University. Health Information Management, Nursing, and the Occupational Therapy programs are part of the AHEAD program. Applicants to Temple University who are eligible for the AHEAD program must indicate on the Undergraduate application for admission that they wish to attend the College of Allied Health Professions. The AHEAD Program in allied health is open to students who have graduated from high school within the preceding five years.

Provisional admission of eligible freshmen to Health Information Management, Nursing, and Occupational Therapy is contingent upon meeting the following requirements:

*Students who demonstrate satisfactory completion of high school Physics and Trigonometry/Pre-calculus will receive enhanced consideration for admission to a program.

Students in the AHEAD program will receive advising directly from the program in the College of Allied Health Professions that has been indicated on application to Temple University. The academic progress of AHEAD students is assessed each semester throughout the completion of their pre-professional study. To remain in the AHEAD program students must:

1. Achieve a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA at the completion of the fall semester of the sophomore year (40 semester hours); and
1. Complete all pre-professional requirements within two academic years following admission to Temple University as a freshman.
2. Submit an application to the program of choice in the CAHP and fulfill all other requirements of the admission process.

Students who are admitted as freshmen to the AHEAD program and who do not achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA will receive advising by the program about strategies for enhancing their competitiveness, or selection of an alternative program. These students are still eligible to apply for admission to the allied health programs, but their applications will be considered with all other applications. Contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office or the Office of the Dean of the College of Allied Health Professions for further information.

The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) is designed to help students who are preparing for careers in Health Information Management, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. The program assists students to change from high school to college to complete pre-requisite courses needed for admission to the HIM, OT and PT professional curricula. HCOP helps students prepare for the admissions process by providing workshops that acquaint those applying for admission with the procedures associated with preparing an application and completing a personal interview. The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) also provides tutoring and counseling for students enrolled in one of the professional curricula (HIM, OT and PT). These services are designed to assure timely graduation of students traditionally under-represented in the allied health professions.

The University policies and regulations generally apply to all undergraduate students and provide a framework within which schools and colleges may specify further conditions or variations appropriate to students in their courses or programs.

The College of Allied Health Professions desires to promote professional responsibility among its students. It is, therefore, the policy of the College to place the responsibility for class attendance upon the students. Students are accountable for all work missed because of absence. Instructors are not required to make special arrangements or examinations for students who are absent. There are certain courses, which require a minimum number of hours of student participation in laboratory, or clinical experiences as established by the professional accrediting agency and/or the academic department concerned. At the beginning of each such course, the department shall make the attendance requirement clearly known to the enrolled students. Excessive absences may, at the option of the department, jeopardize the student's grade and/or continuance in the course. If, in the opinion of the department, a student is absent to the point of endangering his or her successful completion of a course, an official warning shall be issued through the Office of the Dean. If the absences continue, the student may be dropped from the course with a failing grade.

See Academic Policies and Regulations.

Students who complete a minimum of 12 semester hours and earn a semester GPA of 3.50 will be placed on the Dean's List. Students who earn "I's" or "NR's" for that semester will not be eligible.

Since students of the College of Allied Health Professions are enrolled in professional programs, they are expected to abide by standards of professional conduct and behavior at all times.

The grading system is in accordance with the system adopted by Temple University. For students enrolled in this College a grade of C is the lowest acceptable final grade in major courses. Students not achieving a grade of C are required to repeat those courses in which they have failed to demonstrate acceptable performance. Each of the major courses may be repeated only one time. If the student is unsuccessful the second time, the student will be dismissed from the program.

To be eligible for advancement with his or her respective class, a student is required to take the final examinations at the end of the sessions. Failure on the part of the student to do so, unless excused by the Dean for good and sufficient reasons, is deemed sufficient reason for forbidding such a student the right to examination later and to further advancement with the class.

Decisions on promotion and graduation are made by the faculty and are based upon a comprehensive and total evaluation of the student's accomplishments. The student must earn a grade of "C" or better in all major courses during the junior and senior years in the College of Allied Health Professions.

The College of Allied Health Professions prepares practitioners to fulfill their ideals of service in the health care setting. In attaining these goals, exemplary professional behavior is the keystone of the professional associations of the five disciplines comprising this College. The Code of Conduct of Temple University's College of Allied Health Professions is intended to contribute to an environment in which excellence in learning and conduct may be fostered.

All terms of the Students' Rights, Code of Conduct, and Disciplinary Procedures for Temple University apply to students within the College of Allied Health Professions. In addition to the major violations noted by the University Code, the faculty of the college has identified another action as constituting a major infraction of the Code: "Unethical conduct or intentional neglect of duty on clinical practice."

Return to menu.

The student must successfully complete a minimum of 122 semester hours, including all the prescribed courses for the particular professional discipline.

To be eligible for graduation, a student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

Return to menu.

The collegiate work required for admission to the College of Allied Health Professions may be completed in any accredited college or university.

Students entering Temple University at the freshman or sophomore level with an interest in the programs offered by the College of Allied Health Professions should plan a program of study which, during the first two years, will include completion of the University CORE curriculum, pre-professional requirements listed under each program and any electives so that 55 s.h. of transferable work are completed prior to admission to the college. (Exceptions are Communication Sciences and the RN-BSN Advanced Placement Program. Please see information on these programs in the department information.)

Advising during pre-professional study is offered by the Academic Resources Center in the Division of University Studies and by faculty and staff in individual programs in the College of Allied Health Programs. Students are encouraged to contact the program of their choice for advising during their freshman year of study.

The requirements are not to be construed as rigid but rather as a framework within which admission to a program of study in a selected professional discipline may be facilitated. Variations among the requirements should be well planned. Students are urged to seek early advising from the program in the College of Allied Health Professions because academic waivers are less likely to be considered as the time of application to the College of Allied Health Professions approaches.

Freshmen entering Temple University who plan to obtain degrees in the College of Allied Health Professions must complete the University Core Curriculum requirements and the pre-professional requirements listed with each department.

Web Site: http://www.temple.edu/CAHP/HIM/

Health Information Management (HIM) is concerned with the development, implementation, maintenance, and administration of systems for the storage, retrieval, access, and release of health information. These systems involve the application of sophisticated computer technology as well as detailed knowledge of legal, regulatory, and accrediting agency requirements. The four-year program in Health Information Management combines liberal arts, basic sciences, and professional courses and allows students to combine their interests in clinical medicine, computer technology, business and human resource management. Students are admitted to the professional major in the third college year, after completion of a minimum of 55 credits, including the specified prerequisite courses. Clinical practice is scheduled at selected health care institutions.

The health information professional works closely with all other health professionals to collect and disseminate the information needed to provide high-quality patient care. The multifaceted health information system is needed by different recipients: the patient, the health care professionals, the administrators, the community, and those involved in research and education.

Increased responsibilities in data quality management, computer-based information systems, quality assurance programs, systems for reimbursement, and planning have further contributed to the expanding role of the health information

management professional. There are an increasing number of positions available in hospitals, outpatient facilities, research centers, industry, and health agencies throughout the country.

Following satisfactory completion of all course requirements, the student is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management and is eligible to write the certification examination of the American Health Information Management Association for qualification as a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA).

The baccalaureate program in Health Information Management at Temple University is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Educational Programs, in cooperation with American Health Information Management Association Council on Accreditation.
