1 San Jose City College Annual Program Review Report Program: Medical Assisting Annual Program Review Academic Year: (updated: 3/25/12) Evaluation Year (Circle One): One Two Three Four Instructions: Use this reporting form for any of the following: To report the major changes that have occurred in your program over the past year -- Describe the changes and attach the evidence to support the occurrence of the changes. To report the SLO assessment activities to the Program Review Committee -- Summarize the results of the assessments of the SLO activities and submit this form with the SLO assessment reporting forms. Program description SLOs and/or SLO Assessment process The Medical Assisting: Clinical prepares the student for employment as a clinical (back office) medical assistant in a physician s office, clinic, or hospital setting. The student performs a variety of clinical medical assisting procedures including physical examination, medication administration, electrocardiography, minor surgery assist, medical asepsis, phlebotomy, and laboratory specimen handling, processing, and analysis. An externship in the clinical area of a physician s office, clinic, or hospital will provide the student with the necessary experience to enter the workforce. All Medical Assisting courses previously offered have had at least one SLO assessed as of the end of the Fall 2011 semester. Additional course SLO assessment and reassessment of previously assessed SLO s are planned for Spring Medical Assisting is on target for assessing one cycle by Fall The following Program Student Learning Outcomes was assessed Spring 2012: Program SLO #4: Adhere to, and support, OSHA and other regulatory agency safety guidelines overseeing the practice of medicine and implement such safety protocols. This was the initial assessment of PSLO #4. PSLO #4 is linked to the following ISLO s: ISLO #2. Critical and Analytical Thinking Students will analyze problems using evidence and sound reasoning to make decisions.

2 ISLO #5. Technology Students will utilize technology effectively for informational, academic, personal, and professional needs. There are 91 course SLOs and 8 program SLOs to assess in Medical Assisting: Administrative and Clinical. Curriculum Information MEDICAL ASSISTING: CLINICAL (PENDING STATE APPROVAL) BUS 007A Business Language Skills, OR BUS 008 Business English and Writing HSCI 008 Medical Terminology MA 005 Medical Office Emergencies MA 006 Introduction to Medical Assisting MA 020 Physical Examination Procedures MA 021 Medical Office Laboratory Procedures MA 022 Medical Asepsis and Surgical Procedures MA 023 Medication Administr for Medical Assistants MA 024 Medical Assisting Clinical Experience MA 004 Hum Body Struct & Funct, OR BIOL 020 Human Biology, OR BIOL 071 Human Anatomy Total Units Staffing information There is one full-time Medical Assisting faculty currently loaded for Spring 2012 at 120%. In Fall 2011, there was one adjunct faculty dedicated to Medical Assisting. For Spring 2012, there are four adjunct faculty teaching only MA. Additional full-time Medical Assisting faculty will be needed in eventual shortterm in lieu of the following: The student headcount has doubled in the Medical Assisting program since Fall Starting Spring 2012, clinical medical assisting courses are being offered as part of the (proposed) Medical Assisting: Clinical program. This program will prove to be very popular and will likely double the student headcount within 2-3 semesters. Clinical classes have a maximum count of 30 students per class. When supervising medical assisting students who are practicing potentially

3 Technology information dangerous skills such as injections and phlebotomy, one instructor in the lab is not enough to ensure safety. There must be an additional instructor who can be present at flexible dates and times to accommodate for the need of additional supervision in the clinic to prevent student injury. This would provide a 1:15 ratio of faculty to students rather than a 1:30 ratio. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration each have requirements of clinical environments in having a supervising employee readily available to prevent illness/injury and manage on-site injuries and potential infectious disease exposures. Both the MA: Administrative and MA: Clinical programs will be seeking an essential accreditation in the upcoming academic year (Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs). There are two externship courses as part of the MA programs that require instructors to have on- and off-campus availability Mon-Sat, 8am 7pm, for evaluation and externship site communication purposes. The clinical medical assisting laboratory needs many new items of small to large value in order to replace broken and outdated equipment. Single-use supplies such as dressings, bandages, scalpel blades, syringes, phlebotomy tubes, urinalysis dipsticks, thermometer covers, and diabetic blood testing strips and lancets require periodic restocking as well. Medical supplies, in addition to anatomical models for the new anatomy lab, have nearly exhausted the VTEA funds for the current academic year. Medical Assisting, housed in the Technology Building, must maintain a clinical lab that offers the technology representative of what the students will be using in the clinical medical setting. The requested items, including 3 microscopes, 3 audiometers, 2 doppler ultrasounds, and 2 vitals monitors, and are basic to any medical environment. The equipment and supplies listed in the following table also serve to support ISLO #5. ISLO #5. Technology Students will utilize technology effectively for informational, academic, personal, and professional needs.

4 Budget information Other: For the academic year, about $10,000 was made available from the Vocational and Technical Education Act (VTEA) fund for supplies and equipment purchases, but this amount has been nearly exhausted due to the extreme needs of the program, which is new and contains classes that require many large-ticket items.
