Vision Statement
Academic excellence through student-centered
learning in a creative, supportive environment.
Mission Statement
The Cardiovascular Technology
Department will provide competency-based education which
links theoretical, professional,
 and ethical concepts to
clinical practice in order to prepare graduates for the
world of work and life-long learning.
The CVT faculty is committed to the philosophy of
Grossmont College with special emphasis on student-centered learning,
and to the premise that Cardiovascular Technology is a "profession,"
and those who enter clinical practice are accountable for their
actions and continued professional growth. Teaching strategies are
designed to promote critical thinking, an attitude of inquiry,
personal responsibility, a commitment to keep pace with the
evolution of the field of practice, and sharing professional
knowledge.
A multimedia approach to education is utilized
when possible in order to accommodate variations in learning styles,
and to provide an environment which stimulates, supports, and
challenges the student. Emphasis is placed on self assessment,
evaluation, and motivation throughout the student's progress through
the program. It is expected that students assume responsibility for
their learning and contact the appropriate faculty if academic
difficulty occurs. The specific needs of individual students are of
concern to the faculty, and a wide range of resources designed to
promote student success are provided.
