Undergraduate Tracking:
The Health Science Program will develop a systemized procedure for tracking the course results in UNK departments in which our students major in order to be sure that we are preparing the students for advanced work in those programs. This assessment measure should be in place by Fall 1994.

Survey:
The Health Science Program will contact the university departments in which our students major in order to include Health Science related items on questionnaires and surveys that they send to graduates. This will allow us to better assess the preparation that students have achieved under our program.

Placement:
The Health Program Office will develop and implement procedures for better tracking of applications, acceptances, and matriculations to professional schools and clinical programs. At present it is necessary to rely on student-reported data about which schools or clinical programs are being applied to and which ones are giving acceptances. These procedures should be in place by Fall 1995.

Standardized Tests:
Many Health Science students take nationally recognized tests, such as MCAT, DAT, OAT, PCAT, etc. for admission to professional school. At present, the results of these test are only partially available to the Health Science Program because it is at the student's option whether they are reported. The Health Science Program will develop a strategy by Fall 1994 to increase the reporting rate of these test results so that they can be incorporated more readily into the assessment plan.

In most areas of the health sciences a student must pass a state board examination or other similar test before being allowed to practice. This exam normally comes at the end of the student's time in the professional or clinical program and so the results of such tests are a part of that professional school or clinical program's assessment of student performance. This program will coordinate with the professional schools and clinical programs from which our students ultimately graduate in order to gain access to this information for our students by Fall 1995.
