MSCHE/ACOE Self Study

 Evaluation of the resident’s oral and written presentations  Exit interviews with each resident conducted by the director of institutional research and planning (Appendices B-21a, B-21b and B-21c)  Resident’s evaluation of site/supervisor  Periodic alumni surveys (Appendix B-22)  Director’s Mid-Year Resident Interview  Written examination administered by the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) taken by vision therapy residents Continuing Professional Education Except for a few states, participants in continuing education courses are not required to complete written examinations. However, in recognition of these requirements, some of the courses offered by the OCPE are designated TQ (Transcript Quality) or CEE (Continuing Education with Examination) and offer written examinations. (These are not part of a credit-bearing degree program.) Enrollment in SUNY College of Optometry sponsored programs remains strong in a competitive continuing education environment (e.g., enrollment in the College’s annual ENVISION New York – Appendix B-25) pointing to learning outcomes that benefit the practitioners who chose SUNY programs. Areas for Further Development  Continue to monitor outcomes associated with implementation of the new professional curriculum and make appropriate modifications.  Monitor the newly revised third-year clinical pod system and implement necessary adjustments such as changes to patient scheduling software and procedures.  Develop modifications to the fourth year clinical program including changes to the externship program that provide students with more diverse clinical training opportunities, including international rotations and private practice settings.  In implementing the third-year curriculum and developing the fourth-year curriculum, data obtained from the Meditrek system should be used to: o Further define core clinical experiences o Better monitor each student’s clinical progress to ensure that core clinical experiences are obtained  Improve consistency in grading throughout third and fourth year clinics to better reflect curricular learning objectives.  Continue to develop and use effective educational technologies, including the full implementation of the Moodle course management system, to enhance student learning.  Monitor recruitment strategies for students entering the PhD program and the success of the new PhD curriculum in graduating productive scientists.  Critically evaluate the viability of the OD/PhD program and, if indicated, develop and institute a plan to increase enrollment in this program.  Develop non-institutional funding sources for graduate stipends.
