Clinical Skills Training Center (CSTC) faculty would like to welcome you into your selected training program. CSTC training programs are designed to prepare you for employment in a variety of positions including but not limited to medical offices, health maintenance organizations, laboratories, health departments and hospitals. It is the responsibility of each student to review the handbook independently and to refer to it as needed during his/her enrollment. This handbook is designed to provide general information that is appropriate to all CSTC training programs. This handbook supplements the policies and procedures adopted by the Clinical Skills Training Center Board of Trustees.

In the event of any conflict between the Board of Trustees’ policy and any policy of provision of this Handbook, the Board of Trustees’ policies shall be construed as setting forth the minimum expectations, rule, or procedure applicable. In other words, some components of the policies set forth in this Handbook may impose greater obligations, expectations, or responsibilities on students in the program than are generally applicable to other students. In the event a student has a question or concern regarding inconsistencies in these policies, they should direct them to the program director.

The program director may confer with other administrative officials to resolve any such issue or conflict. All statements in the Training Skills Program Handbook are announcements of present CSTC program’s policies and are subject to change at any time. While every effort will be made to give advance notice of any change in the program’s policies, such notice is not guaranteed nor required. If there are questions concerning information in this handbook, the program director should be consulted.
