Our Vision

To address issues affecting academicians in undergraduate and graduate programs so that together we can provide a collective voice in the Association.

Mission Statement

To foster development of ever-expanding knowledge of instruction, learning strategies, and curriculum to provide the underpinnings of education and skills for practice of the profession. To foster collaboration among programs, faculty, research laboratories, and administration so that common concerns are addressed and resolved in the best interests of our academic members.

What Makes Us Unique

Unification and collaboration among faculty at different ranks, levels of experience, responsibilities and expertise.

  • Foster discussion of appropriate curricula and training in research methodology in applied and basic scientific techniques.
  • Discuss and develop better ways to provide academic and clinical education.
  • Promote alternative models for delivering quality education to students and practitioners based on lifelong learning needs.
