Program Philosophy

The Clinical Laboratory Sciences program of St. John’s University, Bartilucci Center is influenced by a Christian Philosophy of Education with service to God and mankind its highest goal. The inherent concepts of this philosophy recognize the human dignity of man and his ultimate goal. We dedicate ourselves to acquire the knowledge and skills in our field of Clinical Laboratory Sciences that would best benefit our fellow man. We will act at all times in a truly professional manner, serving human needs and maintaining strictest confidence in patient matters.

Each student must come to a full realization that he/she is working in an institution which follows these ideals and that he/she must adopt this attitude when dealing with patients. The student must achieve the highest degree of honesty and integrity in his/her work.

With this as the basic philosophy, we have planned and constructed our course of study so that the complete development of the student of Clinical Laboratory Science will be realized through the educational program, based on our Christian philosophy.

Inspired with the dignity of unselfish service to others and impressed by the fact that they are trustees of knowledge and talents for the benefit of their fellowman, students will strive to achieve a development of mind and character an recognize their responsibility for the betterment of human welfare.
