Mock Program Review Brian Bogdanowicz Director of Clinical Education The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
Goals of this Session • Change our perspective from Program Directors & Athletic Training faculty → site visitors • Leave ready to evaluate our programs with eyes of a site visitor • Encourage discussion b/n different programs & program faculty • Become more familiar with the new 2005 Accreditation Standards
Disclaimer!!! • What we CANNOT do… • Address specific questions relating to your programs • These questions should be submitted to JRC-AT office through official communication (mail or e-mail) • Make assumptions that our findings of today's scenarios are endorsed by JRC-AT or other organizations
Lets remember… • The Purpose of Accreditation • Provide a MINIMUM standard of education • Protect the public • Protect the student • So the accreditation documents are guidelines that establish the minimum standards • Room for improvement & advancement
My two cents… • The site visit team is there to verify info from the self-study • They should not be “out to get you” like a detective pursuing Americas most wanted • They can even assist you sometimes, so don’t miss the opportunity to utilize the visit team to help the program
With that thought in mind…. • Lets put on our site visitor hats! • The following scenarios should be discussed at each table • Determine if non-compliances are present • Explain why or why not?
