List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program
objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?
(Be aware that approval of the curriculum is dependent upon
these courses successfully passing through the Course Challenge list. If there
are no new courses enter “None”)
MEDT 462 Experiential Learning- This course will
satisfy the university requirement for a Discovery Learning Experience for
those in this major. This will be a
capstone course that will challenge the student to assimilate all of his/her
undergraduate coursework into the context of actual clinical experience to
prepare for a career in healthcare. The reflections and critical thinking
skills demonstrated during this course will be a measure of the student’s preparedness
to advance to professional or graduate education in his/her chosen area.
This course will be the final reflective component of
the volunteer experiences accumulated throughout the student’s undergraduate
years in preparation for graduate or professional school in a healthcare field.
Evidence of critical thinking and knowledge of healthcare concepts will be
demonstrated through an ePortfolio and a formal
summary paper.
MEDT 398 Body Fluid Analysis- Study of routine urinalysis examination, renal function and body fluid
testing procedures. This course is the same course as MEDT 400 with the
laboratory portion of the course removed.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate education:
http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
The proposed major in Medical Diagnostics supports the
following goals of undergraduate education:
1. Attain effective skills in (a) oral and (b) written
communication, (c) quantitative reasoning,
and (d) the use of information technology.
2. Learn to think critically to solve problems.
3. Be able to work and learn
both independently and collaboratively.
4. Engage questions of ethics and recognize
responsibilities to self, community, and society at
large.
5. Understand the diverse ways of thinking that
underlie the search for knowledge in the arts,
humanities, sciences and social sciences.
6. Develop the intellectual curiosity, confidence, and
engagement that will lead to lifelong
learning.
7. Develop the ability to integrate academic knowledge
with experiences that extend the
boundaries of the classroom.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
Permissions attached from BISC, CHEM, PHYS, FREC,
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
The Medical Diagnostics curriculum incorporates the
core lecture courses from the Medical Technology major with selected courses
from other scientific disciplines to provide a solid foundation for students
pursuing graduate and professional degrees in healthcare related professions.
In support of this proposal, recent articles in the
American Journal of Clinical Pathology describe the need for students pursuing
medical school or graduate education in healthcare to gain a knowledge base in laboratory
medicine to better prepare them for these post-baccalaureate programs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, “An integral component of care is laboratory medicine, which
extends across research, clinical…, and public health settings.” As noted in
the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, “The role of laboratory testing in
the care of patients is uniformly recognized as a critical component of modern
medical care.” (Smith, B., 2010)
Dr. Michael Wilson states in his article titled Educating Medical Students in Laboratory
Medicine published in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology 2010,
“…there are gaps in this education that defy common sense and reason, one of
which is the lack of a requirement for formal education in laboratory medicine
at all medical schools.”

Diagnostics, and
WHEREAS, the Medical Diagnostics
curriculum incorporates the core lecture courses from the Medical Technology
major (not including the laboratory courses) with selected courses from other
scientific disciplines to provide a solid foundation for students pursuing
graduate and professional degrees in healthcare related professions, and
WHEREAS, recent articles in the American Journal of
Clinical Pathology describe the need for students pursuing medical school or
graduate education in healthcare to gain a knowledge base in laboratory
medicine to better prepare them for post-baccalaureate programs, and
WHEREAS, the Medical Diagnostics major is distinct
from the Medical Technology major in that the Medical Diagnostics major is a
non-certification track while the Medical Technology major leads to
certification eligibility, be it therefore
RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate
approves provisionally, for five years, the establishment of a new major in
Medical Diagnostics, effective September 1, 2012.

Karen,
There would be no problem admitting your
students to

I would also suggest
go a little faster, a little further (AN OVA
and multiple regression) and it uses statistical software - JMP software which
is a free download on campus. All of those would be valuable for any
student wishing to go to graduate school. Compared
to
taught live in the fall and on-line in the spring.
I have attached the syllabus for Spring 2011 for you
to look at. We regularly substitute this course for STAT200.

Karen:
In principle, we are, of course, supportive
of any program that reqwres CHEM course
content. In practice, our backs are against the wall. Specifically, our 11F
offering of CHEM-103
filled up last Monday, leaving UST students,
transfer students, and upperclasspersons waiting at
the altar. That means that all of the available time slots (50) in all three
laboratories
available for CHEM-103 (QDH 054, 064 and 070) are
filled with 24 students each- a total of 1200 students in lab sections running
morning, afternoon, and evening, Monday through
Friday, plus Saturday
morning. This is the
second year that this has happened, the first being 09F, although no students
were left out in the cold in 09F. 09F's gargantuan class saturated
our CHEM-321 offering last fall (400 students in
20 lab sections at 20 each, following the same schedule noted for CHEM-103).
That saturation will be repeated in CHEM-321 next year. I
might add that we are turning away students
in both CHEM-214 and CHEM-527 this fall.
Of course, 5-10 students represents
a small perturbation, in and of itself. If your students can adapt their schedwes to take advantage of our multiple course offerings
(CHEM-103 and
CHEM-104 are each taught fall, winter,
spring, and summer, as is CHEM-214; CHEM-321 is offered fall, winter and
summer; CHEM-527 is scheduled fall and spring), we should be able
to accommodate them. Furthermore, the
CHEM-103/104 overcrowding situation will be relieved in 2013, when the new ISE
building opens, and the BISC majors are shifted to new,
integrated CHEM-103/104//BISC-207/208 courses, which
are to be taught via PBL in space specifically designed for this purpose.

Hi John,
Sorry for my delay in answering your
questions. We have reassessed the mathematics requirement for this new major of
Medical Diagnostics. We foresee that students pursuing this degree are those
who are interested in either medical school or other graduate degrees in health
care such as physician assistant programs. Since professional and graduate
schools have different math requirements, depending upon the career path of the
student, we need to be flexible and include several academically acceptable
math options.
Students who are pursuing medical
school will generally complete 2 semesters of calculus; however, students
pursuing physician assistant school may choose to take
We are now proposing that students complete one
of the following math courses (as a minimum for graduation), with the course(s)
selected being dependent upon math placement and career goals.
In regard to the number of students who may
pursue the Medical Diagnostics major, we are only anticipating about 10
students initially choosing this new major rather than the current major of
Medical Technology. Since the math courses selected will certainly vary,
hopefully the students will be accommodated by existing sections.
I would greatly appreciate your support
of this revision.
