Core Values

In the journey of life, certain principles act as guiding stars, steering us towards the best versions of ourselves. Over the past several years, the core values we uphold at West Texas Professional Training have uplifted not just us, but the entirety of our institution — encompassing our educational foundation, instructional methods, and the remarkable students we have the privilege to teach. Here are our core values:

YOU BELONG HERE

As you start a new journey into healthcare, it can be intimidating. Recognizing you have a sense of belonging at our school has the ability to empower you by knowing you have teachers and administrators ready to help. As we advance into a program that is building networks with classmates, instructors, and externship offices, we create a web of support that propels us forward. Through genuine connections, we find not just assistance, but a community that shares in our successes and stands by us during challenges.

EITHER WIN OR LEARN

The value of "Either Win or Learn" reframes our perspective on failure. It encourages us to see setbacks not as roadblocks but as stepping stones towards success. Every challenge becomes an arena for personal development, a chance to enhance our skills, resilience, and wisdom. By embracing this value, we can look at a mistake and find a way to make it a win— when we learn what we or others could have done differently. When we know better, we do better.

PROFESSIONALISM & FRIENDLINESS

Most patient’s that come in to a medical or dental office have some level of fear or anxiety, and with a unique mix of emotions. It is so reassuring to have a kind and friendly assistant to help ease the tension! The value of "Professionalism & Friendliness" reminds us of the two biggest hiring factors in healthcare. Understanding that our job isn't just about "liking" people, but about treating everyone with respect, and giving them the best attention and support we can.

OVER-DELIVER

By going the extra mile and offering more than expected, we create a ripple effect of positivity. A simple smile, a kind word, or an unexpected act of generosity can brighten someone's day and inspire them to pass on the positivity. This value invites us to infuse our actions with a genuine desire to make a difference and to leave a positive mark on the world. Find the delight in going above expectations!

BE ACCOUNTABLE

Accountability is the cornerstone of trust and respect. To take ownership of our actions, show up with dedication, and uphold a sense of duty and responsibility is being the best of the best. By being reliable and consistent, we cultivate a reputation of integrity. Our actions not only reflect our character but also shape the world around us.

By embracing these values, we not only enhance our own lives but contribute to a brighter and more uplifting world for everyone around us.
