Dear Dr. Larsen:
I am submitting a revised semester curriculum for the Health Sciences Program. The revised
program offers students more flexibility to complete the program. Originally, the program was
written focusing upon the student completing Health Sciences to enter an advanced professional
or graduate program such as medicine or occupational therapy. This required students to take a
higher level series of math and sciences.
Currently, we have students completing the degree at the Lima Regional Campus and the
original set of required coursework does not meet the needs of these students, many who
immediately enter the workforce upon graduating from the program. Increasingly, we are also
finding students at the Columbus campus who wish to also enter the workforce for a year or two
prior to going to graduate school.
In addition, we are increasingly attracting students who have an Associate’s Degree in related
health care fields such as Respiratory Therapy and Radiologic Sciences. These students need a
program that supports their first degree. The Health Sciences Program is a great compliment to a
Health related Associate’s Degree. However, the higher math and science requirements are not
required or offered in many of the programs, therefore the flexibility will assist these students.
Therefore, attached you will find a revised curriculum sheet that allows students flexibility in the
sciences and the minor. Also, attached are three sample plans demonstrating the changes. The
specific changes are as follows:
Students entering Chemistry 1210, must have completed Math 1148 or be enrolled in
Math 1150 (previously, Math 1148 on curriculum sheet same semesters as Chemistry
1210)
Students may request an area of focus, in place of a minor. This must be approved prior
to starting the professional program. This will assist students at Lima Regional Campus
where fewer minors are offered. An area of focus may be business.
The minor will not be required for students who have an Associate’s Degree in a Health
Related Field as this will be considered greater than a minor and focused.
Students may complete Chemistry 1110, Biology 1113 and 1114 in place of Chemistry
1210 and 1220. This change is targeted for students with an Associate’s Degree or
completing the program on the Lima Regional Campus.
Course substitutions for required classes not offered at the Lima Regional Campus have
be designated.
CAA 1 of 45
The Health Sciences Program Faculty members met and approved these changes. In addition,
Administration and Health Sciences Support from the Lima Regional Campus agree with the
changes.
Sincerely,

Please note that the higher level chemistry may be required to enter a graduate program. Professional Curriculum The Professional Curriculum includes courses available to students who have been admitted to the professional program. The Professional Curriculum consists of Core Courses, Major Electives, and a required minor. The minor may be substituted by an area of focus if approved by the advisor. For students with an associate’s degree in a related health care field, the minor is not a requirement. Students may complete the coursework on a part-time basis, however courses are typically offered once per academic year. Students completing the degree at the Lima Campus are cautioned that some professional courses may be offered once every other year. Students may have the opportunity to complete 3 credit hours of Free Electives. SUGGESTED SCHEDULING PLAN The following plans demonstrate how students may complete the Health Sciences program in 8 semesters. The semester and year in which some courses are placed can be adjusted to meet the individual needs of students.

Anassessment plan is required for undergraduate majors and degrees. Graduate and professional degree programs are encouraged to complete this now, but willnot be required to do so until 2012.
Is this a degree program (undergraduate, graduate, or professional) or major proposal? Yes
Does the degree program or major have an assessment plan on file with the university Office of Academic Affairs? Yes Summarize how the program's current quarter-based assessment practices will be modified, if necessary, to fit the semester calendar. The HealthSciences Program was revised with approval by CAA in 2010. The program has very few changes other than adaption to semesters.

CAA 35 of 45
The conversion of each of these programs was initiated through two School-wide retreats, comprehensive curriculum mapping, conducted by our Executive Committee, and multiple working groups within and between programs. Each curriculum was reviewed and revised consistent with current healthcare practice and, for many, their accreditation criteria. For the undergraduate programs, working groups revised and amended our elective core courses; it was recommended that each program enroll students in the core courses rather than teach individual unit courses, which was done by all programs, consistent with content needs. Our entry-level graduate programs (Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy), also developed a core evidence-based practice sequence to encourage collaborative problem-solving among students in those two programs. One course, AM 5000 “Strategies for Interprofessional Case Management”, is a new elective course that will provide interdisciplinary case management exposure to students from all of the programs in the School; due to the high number of credits within each curriculum, this course is recommended but not required. Each curriculum was approved by the faculty within the respective program and by the School’s curriculum committee on the following dates:
1) Respiratory Therapy – approved 7/14/2010 2) Medical Technology – approved 8/5/2010 3) Medical Dietetics – approved 8/11/2010 4) Radiologic Sciences & Therapy – approved 8/11/2010 5) Occupational Therapy – approved 8/11/2010 6) Biomedical Sciences – approved 8/18/2010 7) Physical Therapy – approved 8/19/2010 8) Athletic Training – approved 9/15/2010 9) MS in Allied Medicine – approved 9/15/2010 10) PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences – approved 9/15/2010 11) Health Information Management and Systems – approved 9/22/2010
In reviewing the clinical experiences of students in each program, it was noted that there was no standard credit hour allocation for the full or part-time clinical experiences. Our Executive Committee voted unanimously to impose a consistent credit hour allocation, based on the following formula: Full-time (40hr/week, 14 weeks) = 12 credits for undergraduate and 8 for graduate programs; 20 hr/week = 6 credits for undergraduate, 4 for graduate; 10 hr/wk = 3 credits for undergraduate and 2 for graduate; and so on. Some programs have implemented 7 week clinical experiences that follow the same proportional allocation (i.e. 7 week, full time = 6 credits). This change often distorted the 2/3 conversion formula, since historically clinical experiences were under- credited; however, all programs were converted with minimal changes and have indicated such within their program templates. In concert with the semester conversion, there are two program specific requests:
1) The Athletic Training program is requesting to change the degree awarded from Allied Health to Athletic Training to meet accreditation requirements;
2) The Medical Technology program is requesting to change the name of their program to Medical Laboratory Science, which is consistent with their licensure and accreditation recommendations.
CAA 36 of 45
These changes have been approved by the School’s Executive Committee by unanimous vote on 12-7-10 and the Faculty Council on 1-21-11. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely,
Deborah S. Larsen, PhD Director, School of Allied Medical Professions Associate Dean, College of Medicine 614-292-5645 deborah.larsen@osumc.edu

Semester Conversion Transition Plan School of Allied Medical Professions The School administration, advising staff, and each program have made considerable efforts to assure the timely progression of students enrolled during the semester transition so that students who maintain good academic standing and follow the outlined curricula will be held harmless. Advising: Our undergraduate programs admit students either for their sophomore year (Athletic Training, Health Sciences, Medical Dietetics, and Respiratory Therapy) or junior year (Health Information Management, Health Sciences, Medical Technology, Radiologic Sciences, Respiratory Therapy). Our pre-major advisors are providing information to our freshman and sophomores and providing curriculum plan drafts for respective programs. Proposed curriculum plans for each group of students are posted on the School’s web site. For those sophomores that have been admitted to their respective programs, Division/Program Directors will meet with each cohort to explain proposed changes. All programs except Health Sciences are lock step, so individual advising should not be necessary once students are admitted to a program. Health Sciences students have a dedicated advisor that serves both pre-majors and matriculated students. We will hold group and individual advising sessions, as needed, for students in that program. Our Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is 3 1/4 years in duration, so students admitted for Summer 2010 will complete the program under semesters; further, students admitted in 2009 will need to complete their program 1 quarter early due to the implementation of semesters for summer quarter (typically the last quarter for that program). Orientation for the first year students and a class meeting for the 2nd year students have been held to outline the semester curriculum and impact on both groups of students. Our Director of Admissions is advising all potential applicants, both current OSU students and transfer students to both the DPT and MOT. Graduate students within our MS and PhD programs will be provided individual advising to assure appropriate academic progress. Additionally, informational meetings have been held for advisors to outline changes in the curriculum, occurring with the transition. Some flexibility within both programs will be implemented with regard to program requirements for students in process during the transition. Students admitted for Autumns 2010 and 2011 will begin taking the quarter equivalent of the semester curriculum, for which courses have been submitted for approval. All programs will continue to hold cohort meetings and provide appropriate advising to assure a smooth transition and timely program completion for all students that maintain appropriate progress within their respective programs. Program Progression Issues:
1. Academic: Currently students must earn a C- (undergraduate) or C (graduate) to pass a class. For students that earn a grade lower than this, they must stop the program and rejoin the curriculum the next time the course is offered (typically the following year).
CAA 38 of 45
They are only required to repeat the course with the designated C- or C and then can continue on in the curriculum.
2. Leaves of Absence: currently students may request a LOA at anytime during the academic year and then rejoin the program at the same point in the curriculum one year later to complete the program (i.e. stop after Winter quarter, rejoin the following Spring quarter).
For students that fail to achieve the designated target grade in a given class, it won’t be possible for them to just take that class when they resume the program because they would be missing at least ¼ of the content in the other semester courses. For LOA’s, it will also be difficult to resume the curriculum at the “same” time point that they dropped out. Each case will, therefore, be handled individually. These situations may result in a longer time to graduation or the need to complete additional credit hours/courses. Every effort will be made by each program to avoid unnecessary requirements for students in these situations. Students requesting a LOA will also be counseled on the possible consequences of that decision. Fortunately, these issues occur rarely in the SAMP programs, so few students are expected to be impacted by either issue.
3. Program Specific Issues: Programs have highlighted specific transition issues within their program templates, including the use of bridge courses, double teaching of content, and progression differences from that stated in this document.

TRANSITION POLICY The School’s transition policy applies to the Health Sciences program with the exception that a C- in a non-sequenced course will not prevent continuation in the program, but the course will need to be retaken and satisfactorily completed; a C- in a sequenced course will prevent continuation in the sequence until the failed course is retaken with a C- or better. All other coursework may be continued without disruption. Most courses are only offered once per academic year, so delay in graduation may occur while the failed course and subsequent courses in the series are completed.
