The following Standards are Partially Met:
Standard 9. Advisory Committee Requirement Goal. The Program was requested to expand the Advisory Committee meeting agendas to incorporate routine review and revision of the annual Program Evaluation Plan and to monitor the goals and target outcomes. A meeting was unable to be scheduled prior to submission of this report.
Standard 24. The Curriculum. A few Entry Level Competencies are not present in the curriculum and some are presented lower than the required taxonomic levels. The Program has provided an action plan to address the competencies identified as deficient.
Standard 25. The Program has requested a change in course offering (Pharmacology) which occurs too late in the curriculum to support coding instruction. The College Curriculum Committee does not meet until September 2017.
