1st summer term begins -- various issues as needed

COL 1030 – Syllabus and selected Learning Objectives and SLO finalization

Scheduling part-time faculty evaluations

Allied Health and CIS

New Issues

The OTA Program received approval for candidacy status, which means that the first group

of students may be selected to start OTA classes this fall. The program has also received

TBR approval. Dr. Bailey has submitted the necessary paperwork to SACS for its approval.

Hopefully, we will hear positive news from SACS fairly soon. This is the last major hurdle

to clear in order to start classes in the fall.

Old Issues

Each Allied Health Program Director met with the architects on May 12 to discuss specific

details for their respective area in the new Health Sciences Building. We are very optimistic

that this project will be funded in July.

The Radiography program faculty are waiting for the final results of its site visit. Kim did

respond to the tentative results of the site visit.

7

The CIS program has been participating in the major core realignment. The Committee

has met three times, via conference call, over the past month in an attempt to iron out the

final details. We hope to finalize everything soon. Our plans are to begin a teach-out plan

for our current CIS program immediately and begin offering the new CIT program in the

fall 2016 semester.

RAD Program


Reaccreditation site visit with the JRCERT team is complete. Program director contacted

Associate Director of JRCERT seeking clarification of the initial, preliminary citations of

the visiting team members. Response stated there would be discussion with the Team

Chair and the JRCERT office staff to come to an “agreeable decision” concerning

citations. The next communication should be the official Report of Findings letter.

Equipment from Konica Minolta/Delta Imaging was successfully installed and the

applications specialist provided on-site training for faculty, May 7, 2015. Thankful to

administration for providing this much needed upgrade via TAF.

Director and program faculty continue to field inquiries from applicants and prospective

applicants concerning the program admissions process and what classes to register for to

make improvements in education background. Also busy completing financial aid

suspension appeal forms for students (most often the first meeting with student).

Karin Rogers has been officially recognized by the JRCERT as Clinical Coordinator (vs.

Acting CC). She will share these responsibilities with Charlotte during the fall and spring

terms.


Director will review program applications and schedule interviews at the four clinical

affiliate locations during the month of June.

Director and faculty will prepare and begin classes for the full summer term next week.

New Issues

Major issues with Foundation scholarships earmarked for Radiography students. Seems

there has been a change in the way endowed funds accrue interest to be awarded (now

being invested vs. earning interest by savings account). Additionally, there is a “spending

plan” in place which limits the scholarship funds to be awarded to our students. This has

been a very upsetting discovery for the program’s advisory committee members who

interact with the donors of the scholarship funds and vote on awards to students based on

applications and financial need. The Foundation office has been most helpful in working

through this process, although lack of communication concerning the limitation of funds

should have been quickly brought to the attention of the responsible party (Program

Director). This lack of communication could have detrimental effects to the radiography

program if donors in the committee feel their funds are being limited.

PTA Program


Clinical preparations are complete for summer. This requires much work after the end of

the semester including finalizing arrangements, obtaining criminal background checks,

8

dealing with drug screening issues, etc. Since Patty Easley is nine-month faculty now

this responsibility falls on me.

o We had five positive drug screens recently. Four were legitimate but one was the

result of marijuana use. This student has been dismissed from the program as the

result of not being able to move forward with her clinical experience.

Our application cycle is in full swing. As of today our applicants numbers are much

lower than usual, approximately one half of usual. I suspected a decrease due to the new

OTA program but did not anticipate this much decrease. However, the change to the

June 1 deadline appears to have made it much easier for applicants to have obtained their

spring transcripts for inclusion with their application.

I am beginning planning for a clinical instructors’ meeting as there are several new things

in place for the future in terms of clinical assessment.

I am also investigating continuing education opportunities for our graduates as one of our

annual program goals is support of lifelong learning for our graduates.

The PTA Advisory Committee met May 08.

One student from the Class of 2015 is currently in remediation for a clinical failure from

the spring. He was visited yesterday and appears to be doing well and will be successful

for graduation in August.

Amy White has finished her Master’s in Education through Bethel University.

Projects/Activities Planned for This/Next Week

Application analysis will be completed and letters will go out to those chosen for

interviews. Interviews are scheduled for June 18.

PTA 190 Clinical Education I will begin Monday.

New Issues

Admission requirement changes are being evaluated and analyzed for the program.

Specifically, the use of the ACT score is being considered in order to be better able to

identify the most academically fit applicants. The Advisory Committee discussed this

but I will do further research on this this summer.

Old Issues

Continued improvement in the PTA employment area. The Class of 2015 appears to

have better prospects that last year’s class did. Several are reporting that they have

already made commitments.

Other Items/Dates/Activities

The new CAPTE standards are now in place and will be effective for 2016; therefore, our

reaccreditation processes will be based upon these new standards. I anticipate significant

time and training on these standards during this next year prior to the completion of the

program’s Self-Study next spring/summer. I have received the initial information

related to this process from CAPTE.
