Objectives
In alignment with the Lubbock Christian University Mission, "to be a Christ-centered, academic community of learners, [preparing pre-health profession students] for lives of purpose and service,” the objectives of OHP are to:
The Gary and Pat Estep Institute for Health Professions supports current students who plan to further their education in the health professions after graduating from LCU. The institute provides scholarships for current and incoming students, funds research fellowship opportunities, contributes to travel for students visiting and engaging with professional programs across Texas, and enhances healthcare shadowing and mentoring programs, among other strategic initiatives of the Office of Health Professions.
The institute also provides more opportunities for faculty to create experiential learning opportunities for students so that they are even better prepared for the challenges of dynamic and ever-changing technological advancements in all areas of health care. The institute assists faculty in helping students to understand that learning is a lifestyle that goes beyond graduation and into a lifetime of purpose and service.
