Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

CVT 201 - Advanced Cardiovascular Technician - Stage 2 - Lisa Caul

Assessment

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances) Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work Capstone projects or final summative assignments
Assessment Description	1. Students level of preparedness in the academic content of this course is reviewed with the preceptors in the clinical internship sites. Suggestions for content expansion or practical implementation are discussed and edited into updates of the course workbook and lecture presentation.
Learning Outcomes	All
Number of Sections	1
Number of Instructors	1
Number of Students	21

Data Analysis

Data Shared With	Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) Faculty and staff within our department
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Phone With the clinical preceptors of their clincal internship sites.
Data Summary	More than 85% of students scored higher than the 83% (B) on all quizzes and exams.
Analysis Summary	Students demonstrated their competency of the course content and learning outcomes by answering questions from their clinical preceptors and demonstrating their competencies during their clinical internships.
Next Steps Planned	Revise and update course content to include changes in technology, clinical expectations, and national registry exam content.
Learning Outcomes	All

Changes

Details	1 Lecture content was updated / revised to include advances in technology in the field of Cardiovascular Technology, specifically in cardiac pharmacology and medical devices such as implantable defibrillators. Additional examples of ECG findings from the clinical setting were scanned into lecture to provide extensive examples of 12 lead ECG abnormalities. 2.Stress echo procedural handouts were developed to facilitate more comprehensive learning during the lab sessions. 3. Student small group sessions were increased to practice interpretation of ECG findings and 12 lead ECG findings.
