PSLO Assessment Report Summary
What we looked at:
The Liberal Arts/ Health Careers Opportunity Program assessment focused on HCOP_PSLO_1 and HCOP_PSLO_2. Listed below are the results for each of the HCOP_PSLOs.
What we found:
79% of students were able to describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body based on the number of students passing the Anatomy and Physiology course (SC 122a, as program indicator) with a score of 70% or better.
64% of students were able to demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences based on the number of students passing the Biology course (SC 120 as program indicator) with a score of 70% or better.
What we are planning to work on:

AR Review Cycle: AY 2012-2013
Program goals are broad statements concerning knowledge, skills, or values that the faculty members expect the graduatiing students to acheive.
The Federated States of Micronesia continues to be in serious need of indigenous medical and health professionals. Hospitals and clinics are short staffed and the few doctors are mainly those recruited from overseas. To meet the need for a strong base of skilled resident personnel trained in health related professions, the College of Micronesia-FSM was given the task of recruiting students to major in the fields of health and medicine. This resulted in the creation of the Health Care Opportunities Program (HCOP) in 1980. Since then HCOP has graduated several hundred students (e.g., 173 during the 15 year period 1992-2007; x¯ = 12 per year), many of whom continued their education and achieved advanced degrees in colleges and universities throughout the world. Some of these students returned to FSM to work within the medical field and have helped to build and improve the health and medical infrastructure. HCOP began with the recruitment of students from FSM, Palau and the Marshall Islands. HCOP specifically targeted and chose high quality students that could cope with the strong science, math and English element of the program. In addition, HCOP received funding of approximately $80,000 per year thus allowing the program to provide students with financial assistance and thereby aiding recruitment. Furthermore, summer intensive training in science, math and English was also provided. Project funding ended in 1997 and recruitment subsequently was confined to FSM, and without the stipend and summer training for students. The lack of funding had a detrimental effect on the program reducing recruitment as well as the academic quality of the students and their retention within the program.
The program description describes the program, including its organization, relationship to other programs in the system, program design, degree(s) offered, and other significant features of the program, such as elements/resources for forward-looking new program contributions to the state’s economy, or specialized program accreditation.
This program aims to strengthen the opportunity for students who wish to pursue health-related professions. The program offers a solid foundation of health-related courses necessary for succeeding at a four-year institution.
This section describes the requirements for admission into the program and other requisites.
As per college policy (see current catalogue)
This section specifies the requirements for obtaining a certificate/degree in the program, including specific courses,, sequencing of courses, total credits, internships, practical, etc.
This section lists courses offered in the program, including number of sections, course enrollment, section fill rates, and redundancy of courses across the institution.

Assessment of course student learning outcomes of program courses | Describe the structure, function and basic pathologies of the human body | Through the courses in Health Science, Anatomy and Physiology the students were given written exam and practical test to identify the anatomy of the human body and explain the function of the body organs. | |
Acquire solid foundation in basic Biological sciences | Assigned chapters notes were checked before every lecture to Assure preparedness before lectures and discussion. Written exams is given to measure retention lessons Several unit tests, midterm and final Exam were given | ||
Discuss, analyze and interpret fundamental and current issues relevant to human life sciences and health problems and communicate information in a critical Scientific and technologically advance manner. | The students have to answer workbook in every laboratory classes and work in groups. Written test and practical test were given after every unit done | ||
Describe health care and allied professions and be prepared to work effectively with health professionals in groups to solve human life sciences and health problems | Guest speakers invited to talk about the health profession, lectures and Video after which the students give a written report and test were given. Each group were assigned topics to work on and present class. | ||

Employment data and employer feedback (employer survey) | The above information is students list that are listed in my record book. There are students who took up HCOP but did not bother to see me as their adviser. A number of students finished after two and half years or three years. It is difficult to find out whether the student dropped out of school, came to continue and those that transferred and came back. To get hold of the former participants was the most difficult thing to do , the few that I was able to contact through phone calls and emails was trying, and for them to respond to the request was frustrating, either they are too busy or just no response at all. |

Some examples are exploring alternate delivery mechanisms, forming external partnerships, or realigning with other programs. |
Program Objectives Goal 1 - Prepare students for a more advance and meticulous training in Science, Math and English that will help them focus to continue their studies in health and medical fields. Program objective: Talent Search How to identify these students is a challenge. Early identification program would entail a lot of field work and follow up of students progress must be done as often as possible. The selected students must have a higher cut off score in English and Math compared to the test scores of other students In recruiting students a number of motivations should be given such as:
