Anatomy and Physiology Course Review

Posted by Dr. Ken Clough on Dec 8, 2015 4:03:00 PM

  • Tweet

anatomyphysiology.jpgDepartment Chairs and faculty members from the three Mildred Elley campuses recently completed a review and assessment of anatomy and physiology courses.

The goal of this assessment was to ensure that the anatomy and physiology courses offered on each campus can commonly achieve the academic needs of the various allied health programs.

The faculty examined and agreed to a common academic rigor that included the consistent use of identified textbooks, course syllabi, testing materials, grading rubrics, and supplemental instructional materials.

These curricular revisions will help to strengthen the academic experiences of enrolled students. The review and assessment of anatomy and physiology courses is another tangible example of the institution’s commitment to continuous improvement by focusing on academic improvements, student service improvements, and accreditation and compliance improvements.

Administrative Professionals’ Day, formerly known as Secretaries’ Day, is observed annually in the United States on Wednesday of the last full week of April. Long before this holiday was first established in 1952, Mildred Elley has been on the cutting edge of training students for administrative careers in the Albany, New York area.
