Prerequisites for entering a clinical program

Students who have already done basic sciences courses in high school and then do an additional 2 years of allied health programs such as MA/X-ray tech/EMT/LVN/Pharmacy tech/EKG monitoring- perform much better in the advanced CVS/DMS programs. After passing the school's exams, students must take the national board registry exams from ARDMS & CCI to get hired in a hospital or clinic. Some schools just focus on the ability of a student to qualify for financial aid and enroll in these high-end programs and forget that the long-term goal of these students is to pass the tough registry exam and get hired. We must choose the right candidate for the right program.  

FERPA

I learned that in certain situations personal information of the students will have to be shared with authorities. 

National Accreditation

It is important to know your National Accreditation rules and regulations especially as related to Title lV funds.

Informative

This was informative as an educator. 

Employment Outcomes

Ideas in how to get graduates to engage in a timely manner and fill out the surveys as well as produce employment information.

 

Eye opening

Unhappy students may file a claim with school management. They may also file written protests with state agencies, the state attorney general, the accreditors or even the Department of Education. And students as individuals, or in groups, have every right to hire attorneys and initiate lawsuits.

Learned

A good rule to follow is this: If it does not sound right, it probably isn’t. Conservative is the best approach in communicating information that is complete, accurate, concise and fully transparent.

I learned

The information is specific and, given accurate, is a clear and documentable representation and/or disclosure.

Learned

Allow plenty of opportunities for the student to ask questions, particularly if considering enrollment 

What I learned

The components of the Triad – the US Department of Education, the institutional and programmatic accreditors, and the state regulatory boards and agencies – together help ensure quality outcomes. Let’s look at an example from a vocational school perspective as to how it all works.

 

Interesting First Module

I found a few points particularly valuable from the information provided. First, it's crucial for all admissions employees, including agents who work remotely, to complete thorough training and licensing. This ensures they meet legal and institutional standards, with their licenses needing annual renewal.

Second, the importance of regulatory compliance and fair consumer practices stood out. Institutions must follow the Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statutes, ensuring transparency in advertising, clear enrollment agreements, and maintaining certificates for completed training to retain their licenses.

Lastly, the details about accredited foreign schools in Florida were insightful. These programs must meet strict U.S. Department of Education standards, with formal agreements in place with teaching, and adhere to specific regulations for approval and operation.

What I have learned from this module is that I would have to learn about the detail of student rules and how they found out about the program to best help them tailored to their specific needs.

What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it?

I learned the importance of adhering to the guidelines set forth in the state of Florida governing the ways in which Admissions personnel at vocational and higher education institutions engage with prospective students. By upholding these guidelines, it creates consistency across institutions and normalizes best practices among Admissions personnel.

Compliance

It is very important to understand the rules , reglations  and consequences in every area of traning. 

Titles

Each title is very specific.

Retake

HE 106C

This information is important to ensure all students and staff are safe. 

Transparency

Transparency is important and essential. 

HE 106C

FERPA and student privacy is essential today. Keeping this information safe is the key to student privacy so the information is not shared. 

Emergency Communications

The Emergency Communication topic was very informative to me , and is necessary due to recent inclement weather  experiences   that we all have been experiencing , We can reach students and instructors in the event we need to for an emergency situation, through electronic devices , emails or phones to support any emergency situations on campus or in the clinical settings. This was a very informative presentation.  Does anyone have any add on's  to this presentation?  I am very glad about this eye opener and refresher for this topic. 

Thanks , Gwen.
