Tracking and analyzing student populations can be helpful when seeking to improve all aspects of a program. From entrance exams, assesment scores, transfer students versus first time student, working versus non working, day or night availibility, and sub groups such as military and international students. 

Not analizing and/or not using employer feedback is a huge missed opportunity. Employers can give the school valuable insight and help the school stay ahead of industry trends. 

Graduate surveys help school with many aspects of program improvement. The school can get insight on details of their clinical experiences, career servcie experience, program suppoprt and course trainings. 

it is not only wise to benchmark best practices and solicite feedback from clinical affiliates but it is one of the only ways to ensure continued program clinical experience improvement. 

I agree with some of the comments. Virtual Internships are here to stay. If notheing else, COVID has forces schools and facilities to improve technology skillsand analize teaching methodologies. 

I find that some schools get feedback by having employers on their advisory board. Many employers outsoucre employment verifications and if schools don't detailed information before the students graduates it can be almost impossible to have employers answer detailed questions about students that they hire. 

I am impresses with the amount of resourses listed. thank you 

Great information. One can never know it all and it is good to have others chat about best practices.
