Part 2: Program Summary
| Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program |
|---|
The PCT Program has implemented several changes within our curriculum in response to feedback obtained during our community partner meetings and new graduate surveys, as well as clinical experiences within the last year. Our overall clinical experience for our students has been limited due to COVID restrictions and placement shortages within the facilities. The instructors in the program have met the challenges by designing several new simulation activities that address learning outcomes that were difficult to achieve in the clinical environment. The PCT program is staying responsive to the needs of students in the move to increasing online learning by integrating more hands-on activities in lab related to the role requirements the instructors observe during clinical rotations. The program continues to exceeded target measures in all areas, and responses from our community partners gained during PCT Advisory meetings and satisfaction surveys regarding our students and graduates are very positive.

Part 5: Additional Action Plan in Support of Student Learning (If Appropriate)
| Upcoming Year | Changes Planned for the upcoming year | Data Motivating this change |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-2022 | Implementation of additional communication activity in lab to include report and documentation after each lab scenario with measurable outcomes.
Implement more medical terminology in online lab assignments and electronic charting.
| Goal was not met in Simulation Lab Assignment. Implementation of additional communication activity with measurable outcomes will be completed prior to the simulation activity. The goal is improvement in communication techniques during the simulation.
Goal was not met in Medical Terminology Exam. Implementation of more medical terminology in online lab assignments will allow students more practice in this area. |
