Academic and Student Support Services

The Health Professions Education Center (HPEC) supports student learning and faculty teaching in the health professions by providing state-of-the-art instructional media and technology, audiovisual support, and highly specialized computer learning modules. The HPEC houses the largest collection of health-related videos and instructional media within CUNY. Hunter students and faculty can access a variety of in-house and online resources including instructional computer software, state board test preparation materials, video and digital image libraries, private screening rooms, multimedia study carrels, and other reference materials.

The Nursing Laboratory provides space for undergraduate and graduate students to learn and practice basic skills and more advanced nursing interventions in simulated outpatient and hospital settings. While learning exercises in the laboratory are integrated into most clinical courses, individual appointments for practice or special project work can also be arranged.

The Health Professions Library (HPL) supports the curricular and research needs of students, faculty, and staff at the Brookdale Campus. One of four Hunter libraries, the HPL holds nearly 10,000 titles in print, several thousand e-books in biomedical disciplines, and 280 professional journals housed in its 10,000 square feet of space. The library offers study areas with seating for up to 156 patrons, two computer labs, and laptops available for short-term loan. Their website offers remote access to a massive index of full text articles from journals, magazines and newspapers, and unique digital content via its electronic databases.
