Health care initiative helps STC students
STC's new College Success for Healthcare initiative helps students learn about what is
expected of them as future healthcare practitioners. The new program provides students
with specialized academic skills and knowledge about the profession so theycan make wise
decisions about their potential vocation. The program was inspired by Wayne Williams,
counselor at STC's NAH Campus and CS4H lead instructor.
STC initiative offers tools to
prosper in health care field
When it comes to working
in healthcare, there is little
room for errors or mistakes.
And the best way to curtail
any potential problems is to
start early and effectively
prepare the next generation
of healthcare professionals
for the demanding
expectations of their
education. A new student
success initiative at South
Texas College aims to do
just that, and educators are
hoping a new program will
provide students with the
specialized academic skills
and knowledge about the
profession they need to
mike wise decisions as
potential healthcare
practitioners.
Being a student in a
nursing or allied health
(NAH) field at STC requires
a great deal of commitment
and perseverance because of
the rigorous curriculum and
high expectations set for
those who w ish to pursue a
career in the Held Students
in these programs spend
hours stud\ ing outside of the
classroom, and must solidly
grasp mathematical and
scientific concepts to pass
series of tests gauging their
mastery of required subject
areas.
Most of STC's NAH
programs are selective, and
those applying go through a
demanding application
process to assure they meet
the standards of each
respective area of study. The

new College Success for
Healthcare (CS4H) initiative
was created to help these
students develop an
understanding of the
admission process and a
rudimentary awareness of
various healthcare
professions to provide them
with the educational
experience necessary for
effective career discovery
and assessment.
"Most of the students who
seek admission into our
healthcare programs have
their whole lives riding on
this one opportunity, and it
is important for us to ensure
that they are making the
right decisions about their
future career goals," said
Wayne Williams, counselor
at STC's NAH Campus and
CS4H lead instructor.
"This couise gives these
individuals the support
needed to be successful
students and professionals in
the healthcare field. The
students have access to NAH
instructors, students and
skills teaching labs, and they
take the course on our
campus. The whole
experience exposes them to
the true essence of our
programs, support services
and our academic process."
Williams, who has taught
the general College Success
course at STC for more than
10 years, saw the need to
create a specific program to
facilitate an environment
where healthcare students
could be more successful in
making the often-difficult
transition from degree
prerequisite course work to
the extreme demands of
healthcare curriculums.
He joined forces with
STC's Chair of College
Success Gardner "Spud"
Reynolds and several NAH
Division Program Chairs.
Together they came up with
the class curriculum and set
out to make it a reality. The
pilot program was launched
in spring 2009 with a cohort
of 12 students, and by fall
2009 enrollment has grown
to more than 420 students.
Helen Pena, a student in
Williams' summer 2009
CS4H course who is
pursuing a degree in
vocational nursing, says that
being in the class made her
aware of campus resources,
skills and strategies for
success and it helped her
refine her long-term goals.
"I have been trying to reach
my long-term goal for a
while and have been
unsuccessful, and this class
taught me how to balance
everything and to not be
afraid to adjust my goals
because they were meant to
serve me, not the other way
around," she said. "Our
instructor's willingness to
facilitate our success was
evident in everything he did,
and he often invited guest
speakers within the allied
health field to answer our
questions, which gave us a
comprehensive overview of
what we should expect once
we're out in the workforce."
"Anyone interested in
pursuing careers in the
healthcare field will benefit
from this course," she added.
"It will help them learn more
about themselves and what
they can do to contribute to
the well-being of their
patients."
"We have a unique
opportunity to have a
powerful impact on the
success of students pursuing
healthcare professions at
STC," said Williams.
"Today's healthcare
standards demand more
specialized skills and
knowledge, as well as
greater commitment, effort
and adaptability from
workers. Developing our
students' awareness of what
is expected of them as
healthcare students and
professionals gives us the
opportunity to have a
positive effect on the quality
of patient care in our
communities for many years
to come."
