Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis
| Learning Outcome | Population or Course(s) Assessed | Description | Summary of Assessment Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4. Knowledge: Correlate laboratory tests with human physiology and disease states. | A. MLT 1012, MLT 1510, MLT 2010, ASCP exam B. MLT 1014, MLT 1511, MLT 1592, MLT 2011, ASCP exam C. MLT 2712 and ASCP (Laboratory Operations) |
| Note: only C courses are assessed for this cycle.
Criteria: Fundamentals of Laboratory Operations Exam
Mean score <71% = unacceptable, action plan required
Mean score >71% = acceptable
MLT 2712 Average: 92.8%
Criteria: ASCP Scores
Mean score <400 = unacceptable, action plan required
Mean score >400 = acceptable
Lab Operations Average Score: 484
|
| 3.Behavior: Describe and demonstrate appropriate laboratory etiquette, professionalism, communication and human relation skills. | MLT 1001, MLT 2790 | Criteria: Professionalism Paper
Mean score <71% = unacceptable, action plan required
Mean score >71% = acceptable
Average: 86.7%
Criteria: Clinical Performance Preceptor Evaluations
Mean score <71% = unacceptable, action plan required
Mean score >71% = acceptable
Average: 95.1%
|
| Interpretation of Assessment findings |
|---|
Knowledge: Students are meeting and exceeding the minimum criteria. The Fundamentals of Laboratory Operations exam maintained a greater than C average for previous 3 years. Laboratory Operation ASCP scores indicate student learning is acceptable.
Behaviors: Students are meeting and exceeding the minimum criteria. The Professionalism Research Paper shows a greater than C average. Student performance in clinical sites is maintaining a greater than C average.
