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
Over the 2021-2022 cycle there has been a significant number of changes in our program. We successfully transitioned all our lab courses back to face-to-face instruction. We had the previous AAD/Program director move up to become an Associate Dean, moved one full-time faculty to Program Director, and gained a new Associate Dean. We have struggled with staffing courses with the program director being taken from full-time faculty and had one full-time faculty member move out of state and resign. We have completed the onboarding of 6 new part-time faculty to help with courses.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis

Learning Outcome	Population or Course(s) Assessed	Description	Summary of Assessment Results
6. Affective Domain. Careful Delivery of Service: Student follows policies, procedures & protocols. Uses appropriate safeguards in the performance of duties.	EMS 1493, and EMS 1890.
3. Part B: Psychomotor Domain -- Perform an Advanced EMT/EMT-Intermediate-level patient assessment. a. Perform a comprehensive history and physical examination to identify factors affecting the health and health needs of a patient. (Assessment) b. Formulate a field impression based on an analysis of comprehensive assessment findings, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology. (Assessment) c. Relate assessment findings to underlying pathological and physiological changes in the patient’s condition. (Assessment) d. Integrate and synthesize the multiple determinants of health and clinical care. (Assessment) e. Perform health screening and referrals. (Assessment) Safely and effectively perform all psychomotor skills within the National EMS Scope of Practice Model and the New Mexico Scope of Practice at the Advanced EMT/ EMT-Intermediate level. (Psychomotor Skills) Student demonstrates proficiency in skills performed.	EMS 1493.
4. Part C: Cognitive Domain -- Perform Advanced EMT/EMT-Intermediate-level decision making in the content areas of: (a) preparatory, (b) airway/respiration/ventilation, (c) cardiology/resuscitation/ECG, (d) trauma, (e) medical/obstetrics/gynecology, and (f) EMS operations a. Anticipate and prospectively intervene to improve patient outcome. (Decision Making) b. Perform basic and advanced interventions as part of a treatment plan intended to mitigate the emergency, provide symptom relief, and improve the overall health of the patient. (Decision Making) c. Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and modifies treatment plan accordingly. (Decision Making) Knowledge: the student can recall common terms, facts, principles and basic concepts in EMS. Problem Solving: the student uses knowledge to solve a previously unencountered situation. Evaluation: the student can judge the appropriateness of actions and can defend his/her decisions.	EMS 1412.

Interpretation of Assessment findings
#6- Passed with a 98%- one student did not meet the requirements but it was due to no longer participating in the course, so there were no evaluations completed on the student. #3- passed at a 94% threshold rate. a few students did not complete the course and either failed the end of the term exams or did not attempt them. #4- completed at a 94% threshold- as in the previous goal some students did not attemtp the final exams.
