Academic Program Review Self Study
Review Period: July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2008
Section A: Unit Assessment of Strengths and Weaknesses
1. Quality of Instruction, Research, and Service
Intruction: Educational accreditation is a quality assurance process under which services and
operations of an educational institution or program are evaluated by an external body to
determine whether applicable standards are met. All applicable programs in the School of
Health Professions (SHP) are accredited by the appropriate accrediting agency. The
Commission on Accreditation for Dietetic Education (CADE) accredits the Didactic Program in
Dietetics (DPD), the Dietetic Internship (DI) (inactive), and a graduate-entry Coordinated
Program (CP) (currently under provisional accreditation as a demonstration program for CADE).
The DPD and the DI are fully accredited through 2011. The Division of Physical Therapy has
full accreditation by the Commission on the Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education
(CAPTE) for the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program until 2012. The Respiratory
Therapy program has full accreditation through the Committee on the Accreditation for
Respiratory Therapy Education (CoARC) until 2012. The SHP also offers a Master’s in Health
Sciences degree that is shared by the Divisions of Nutrtion and Respiratory Therapy. These
accreditations and degrees attest to the quality of instruction associated with the programs
offered in the SHP.
The SHP faculty are expert clinicians and teachers, instructing students at all levels. Faculty
course evaluations are well above the mid-point of the rating form. Most faculty members make
use of web-based technology through on-line courses and web-enhanced courses. Students’
responses as noted in Appendix D5, reflect the quality of their learning experience’s as well as
on the faculty commitment to student learning through knowledge of their subject and
accessibility to students. One concern noted by students across programs in the SHP is the
inadequacy of our instructional labs. This is an area for improvement, not only in terms of space,
but also for state-of–the-art equipment that will be discussed in our goals and objectives.
Research: All tenured and tenure-track faculty as well as many non-tenure track faculty, are
engaged in scholarship and have active research agendas (Table B-2). Since the SHP was
formed in July 2005, faculty have published articles in several peer-reviewed journals, including
the Journal of Aging and Pharmacology, Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics,
Muscle and Nerve, the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, the
Journal of Cardiac Failure, the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Respiratory Care, and the Journal of Applied Biomechanics. The
SHP faculty are successful in obtaining external grants and contracts for both research and
service. Since the SHP was formed, 27 external awards totaling over $558,000 and 15 internal
awards totaling more than $314,000 have been received. These funds supported projects in such
areas as asthma and tuberculosis education, food safety messaging and education, energy drink
formulations, play therapy for children with cerebral palsy, patent development of innovative
5
rehabilitation equipment, aerosol research, and muscle injury research. In the last three years,
the SHP faculty have published 63 peer-reviewed manuscripts, given 119 invited presentations at
conferences, written 5 book chapters, published 9 books, and presented 40 poster presentations to
peers at national and international conferences. While there is room for increased scholarly
productivity, faculty are challenge with teaching loads with large numbers of students and timeconsuming clinical responsibilities. The level of external funding has increased since 2005, but
faculty are working toward increased federal support for their research. Measures are in place to
protect and support new doctorally-prepared assistant professors. However, the reliance on parttime instructors (PTI) is not always possible given the requirements for PTIs who are both
occupationally and educationally prepared. These areas for further improvement and are
discussed in Section H.
Service: The SHP faculty members provide exceptional service to the university, community,
and the professions. Faculty members are leaders in community organizations and state and
national professional associations, including state licensure boards and national planning
committees. In addition, faculty members have been influential in the improvement of health
policies for the state of Georgia, including contributions to development of obesity prevention,
assessment, and treatment for children and adolescents; fall prevention strategies for the elderly;
and asthma case management. Examples of service to our university community include
teaching sections of GSU 1010 through Freshman Learning Communities (FLC) andPerspectives
(PERS) courses in the university core curriuculum, mapping the campus to enhance access for
individuals with disabilities, and establishing a campus nutrition clinic system.
Strengths & Weaknessness: Manpower and space are two weaknessness in the SHP. There is
also not enough full-time permanent faculty to meet our basic curriculum offerings, particularly
in the Division of Physical Therapy. This creates a need to hire PTIs to teach courses in our
accredited curricula. It is difficult to recruit and retain PTIs who are clinically and academically
prepared and who meet accreditation standards. Also, these PTIs are not able to advise students
or direct individual student efforts, such as theses, which increases the “invisible” full-time
faculty workload. In addition to an increased reliance on the use of PTIs, the stress of
overcrowding and the need for multiple sections required in our teaching laboratories is a
challenge. Instructional laboratory needs will be addressed with the completion of the Parker H.
Petit Science Teaching Laboratory building scheduled to open in 2010. However, the new
building does not include sufficient research space for the SHP. Research lab space for faculty is
insufficient to meet current and projected needs. New faculty members have been added to the
SHP roster with no increase in space, and current faculty who have secured increased funding are
sharing already inadequate research space. If the current space held by the School were to be
retained and renovated in Kell Hall when the instructional labs move to the new building, faculty
will approach levels of adequate research space.
2.
Centrality of Programs to the University
There are three mission statements within the SHP as we house three distinct professional
programs. The mission of the Division of Nutrition is “to prepare professionals who enhance
individual and community health through dietetics practice and to contribute to professional and
scholarly knowledge in the fields of nutrition and dietetics.” The mission of the Division of
6
Physical Therapy is “to prepare doctors of physical therapy who are committed to clinical
excellence, professional distinction, and the pursuit of scholarly activities that contribute to the
body of scientific and clinical knowledge.” The mission of the Division of Respiratory Therapy
is “to prepare competent respiratory therapists and future leaders in the profession of respiratory
care.” The degree programs of the SHP are consistent with achieving the mission and goals of
Georgia State University through “contributions to the economic, educational, social,
professional, and cultural vitality of the city, the state, and the region.” With the current shortage
of health care practitioners, our graduates meet a key demand in Atlanta and the Southeast.
Instruction: The SHP contributes to the mission of Georgia State University and is included in
the University’s area of focus of the urban health initiative funded in 2004, in participation in the
Perspectives group of core courses, and its participation in coursework and research guidance for
students in disciplines outside the SHP. The Perspective courses are designed to provide
students with a better understanding of the comparative world through the study of different
cultures and to deal with scientific approaches to issues on the environment, public health, or
technology. The School hired a faculty member in 2007 under the urban health initiative’s
interdisciplinary teaching and research opportunity. Faculty members also serve as thesis and
dissertation chairs, members of committees, and advisors to students in the Byrdine F. Lewis
School of Nursing, Department of Kinesiology and Health in the College of Education, the
Gerontology Institute located within the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Institute of Public
Health. The SHP faculty members teach seven sections (approximately 460 students) of
Perspectives core courses each year and five sections of nutrition for nursing majors. The four
sections of on-line medical terminology courses, both at the undergraduate and graduate level,
are offered each semester with approximately 225 registered students across the university. Tai
Chi, complimentary medicine, nutrition, and CPR are also very popular elective courses offered
by faculty in the SHP.
Service: Central to the university mission is strategic leadership. The SHP faculty contributes to
the leadership mission of Georgia State University through chairing the first Intellectual Property
committee formed at the University. For example, one SHP faculty member serves as co-chair
of the IRB committee and currently reviews approximately 50 proposals a month. SHP faculty
also serve as senators representing their divisions, affiliate faculty members of the Gerontology
Institute, and as representatives to the other University Research committees for compliance
including Biosafety, Environmental Advisory, and Radiation Precautions.
In summary, the SHP makes significant contributions to the University, to the metro-Atlanta
health care community, and to the citizens of Georgia.

This chart shows the growth in admissions from the beginning of the review period to ‘07/08.
All Divisions show strong applicant pools and enrollments. The number of graduate students
enrolled has doubled in three years. The graduate programs in Nutrition and Respiratory
Therapy are nearing capacity with the current resources while Physical Therapy is at maximum
capacity. Physical Therapy is a very desirable degree opportunity for graduate students with an
average of 260 applications per year for the past three years. The Physical Therapy program has
a maximum capacity of 40 students per cohort (total 120), but has admitted four more students
with each new class to account for attrition and maximize the number of graduates. Compared
with other physical therapy programs, GSU’s Physical Therapy program is the largest program in
the State. Conversely, the Master’s in Health Sciences degree shared by the divisions of
Nutrition and Respiratory Therapy has had a growing number of applicants. During this APR
period, there was an average of 69 applicants per year for admission into the Nutrition track and
9 applicants per year for Respiratory Therapy. Of that number, Nutrition admitted
approximately 34 per year while RT admitted approximately 5 per year. The School has had a
high yield rate; that is, approximately 51 % of accepted Nutrition, 60% of Physical Therapy, and
67% of Respiratory Therapy students matriculated during this assessment cycle.
The Divisions of Nutrition and Respiratory Therapy also offer master's level entry programs for
students who hold baccalaureate degrees in other disciplines but who want to enter these
professions. For both degree options, these graduate students take graduate course-work that is
double-numbered with undergraduates courses. These graduate students also receive clinical
training and take other graduate courses required for the Masters in Health Sciences. The
Division of Nutrition has a capacity for 20 students/year in this track per CADE standards while
Respiratory Therapy has the capacity for 10 students/year. These two options were developed
as a means of increasing the viability of graduate education in those two divisions. The first
cohort of eight Coordinated Program (CP) students in the Division of Nutrition entered August
2006, while Respiratory Therapy admitted the first cohort of four students Fall 2007. These
unique programs have allowed the divisions to recruit students with a range of skills and
interests, broadening the composition of the graduate program. Prospective students recognize
that SHP graduates receive training and education for jobs that cannot be outsourced and that
these jobs will continue to be in demand with the aging of America.
8
For undergraduate education, Georgia State University has the largest respiratory therapy
program in Georgia. The division enrolls approximately 50 students per year while the Division
of Nutrition enrolls about 25 students per year. The Division of Respiratory Therapy also offers
a Bridge program for practicing registered respiratory therapists who want to bridge from their
current associate’s degree to a bachelor’s degree. After completing any needed pre-requisites
along with 39 hours of respiratory therapy courses, students earn a Bachelor of Science with a
major in Respiratory Therapy. There were approximately 25 part-time students enrolled during
this review period. These numbers are not listed for applications or enrollments but are listed in
the graduation category.
The SHP graduates have high placements rates (> 90%) and typically have several job offers
upon graduation. One of the largest employers of respiratory therapy graduates is in the acute
care settings of hospitals. This includes adult intensive care units, neonatal intensive care units,
sleep technology centers, and pediatric settings. Nutrition graduates are employed in clinical,
community, school nutrition, long-term care, government, business, and other sectors. Physical
Therapy graduates practice in hospitals, out-patient clinics, home-health, and private practice
settings. Projections from the U.S. Department of Labor for years 2006-2016 indicate the need
for registered dietitians to increase 9%, physical therapists (PT) to grow 27 %, and respiratory
therapists (RT) to expand by 19 %. The need for PTs and RTs is higher than expected as
compared to all other occupations (http://www.bls.gov/oco/home.htm).
Strengths & Weaknessness: From a resource perspective, the SHP is at full capacity in terms of
enrollment and instructional lab space. The Science Teaching Lab Building will double our
instructional lab space which is greatly anticipated. The SHP needs more staff and faculty to
maintain our level of teaching, research and service, and expansion. The goals and objectives in
Section H address our staff and faculty resources, and research space.
4.
Strategic Focus
Instruction: The SHP prepares students for entry-level practice in each of the three distinct
professions. The degrees the students earn are the result of rigorous curriculums as shown in
Appendix D4. In addition to the information listed above, Table B-3 indicates that SHP
programs have enjoyed strong enrollments during this review period. There are approximately
300 clinical affiliations where students in SHP can practice under supervision. Placement rates
are strong as evidenced by the demand for our graduates. These employment positions are in a
wide range of fields of practice in nutrition and dietetics, physical therapy and rehabilitation and
respiratory care. Our graduates contribute significantly in local, state, and national communities.
By accreditation standards, graduate level education is required to offer advanced instruction in a
specialized area or concentration. The concentration adopted by each division was developed in
collaboration with representatives of the community in which our students practice. For
example, the DPT is the preferred degree for the entry-level practitioner in order to effectively
practice in a variety of clinical settings with unique levels of professional responsibility. In
nutrition, a higher level practice is required to meet projected healthcare needs and the needs of
the urban healthcare environment. Another example is the concentration focus of Respiratory
Therapy which is to produce future respiratory therapy instructors or advanced practice clinicians
9
in acute-care settings. The high demand for instructors in respiratory therapy with advanced
degrees by employers is one indication of the viability of the program’s strategic focus. There
are many entrepreneurial opportunities available for our graduates and education at the expert
level prepares graduates for owning their own practice, whether in a clinic/practice setting or
home health arena.
Strengths & Weaknessness: One of the greatest strengths of the formation of this school has
been the strategic focus to increase not only the number of graduates through higher enrollments,
but also to increase the number of credit hours generated by SHP faculty. Table B-5 lists credit
hours by faculty type and level. In the three years that the School has been in existence (the
time period of this review), credit hours have increased from a total of 13,254 in year one to
17,631 in year three, a 25% increase. We project that we will surpass 18,000 credit hours by the
end of FY09. A comparison of total credit hours generated by the three divisions in the past 3
years is shown in the following Figure 1.

Financial Resource Analysis
This is the initial Academic Program Review for SHP. When the School was formed, one goal
was to pool resources in order to realize cost savings and economies of scale. By any standard
of measurement, the SHP has made excellent use of the pooled resources. Despite the rapid
growth and transition, the School went through a staff reduction in the first year of formation.
Because of space allocations in the Urban Life Building on the eighth and twelfth floors, there
are two suites for faculty offices with entry portals for students and guests. It has been a
challenge to adequately staff both “store fronts” and the School has had to rely on temporary
employees and student assistants.
10
Furthermore, the Action Plan for the Division of Physical Therapy, from their last APR in 2004
still has unfunded action items. Only one of three faculty positions has been funded. A
dedicated clinical laboratory for the physical therapy program was recommended and approved.
However, due to increased enrollment in other programs in the College, the space is shared.
Lastly, the implementation of a physical therapy faculty practice (requiring an investment in
physical space) was not funded. All this while their credit hour generation has increased in both
the total credit hours required for the degree (up to 137 from 107) and an increase in students
from transitioning from MPT to DPT.
In summary, all of the resources allocated to the School have resulted in the expected outcomes.
The SHP has had very little budget change and credit hours are up without a real increase in
faculty. Table A-2 provides a summary of the SHP budget during the review period.

Section B: Historical and Current Contexts
Historical Context
A history of the three Divisions is provided for context followed by the events of the last three
years.
Nutrition - In 1971, the College of Health Sciences (now Health and Human Sciences) opened
what is now the Division of Nutrition (formerly called the Department of Nutrition, Department
of Nutrition and Laboratory Technologies, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the
Department of Community Health Nutrition). An intensive undergraduate program in which
students completed a bachelor’s degree and 900 hours of practice-based learning in a four-year
period was begun in 1974. Twenty students per class were accepted into this program each year.
In 1988, in order to accept more students a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) was initiated.
The DPD is also an accredited four-year program of study but does not include the 900 hours of
practice-based learning. The DPD allowed the Department to accept more students into the
undergraduate program and it gave students an additional, less intensive undergraduate program
option. Upon completion of the DPD, students receive a B.S. degree in nutrition and dietetics
and a “Verification Statement,” which makes them eligible to apply for a CADE-accredited
dietetic internship (DI). Following successful completion of the DI, the student is eligible to take
the national credentialing examination and become a Registered Dietitian. In 1990 and again in
2001, a self-study document was prepared and submitted to the CADE, resulting in a 10-year
accreditation period for the DPD each time. The Master of Science degree with a major in allied
11
health professions was approved by the Board of Regents in 1978 and offered nutrition as one of
three areas of specialization. In 2006, in response to a CADE call for new educational models in
dietetics, the Division initiated an Integrated Program (IP). The IP combines DPD coursework,
MS coursework, and practice-based experiences into a single coordinated graduate program
referred to as the Coordinated Program (CP). Individuals who successfully complete the program
are eligible for the master’s degree and the registration examination for dietitians. This program
is currently granted provisional accreditation by CADE and a self-study was developed to apply
for full accreditation. In September of 2008, a site visit occurred with results pending of initial
accreditation expected in 2009.
Physical Therapy - Georgia State University’s physical therapy program is the oldest in Georgia,
having initiated the training of its first class in the fall of 1970 and receiving initial accreditation
for a Bachelor of Science program in April, 1972. In 1997, the Department received Board of
Regents approval for an entry-level Master’s degree (MPT), and the last MPT class graduated in
May of 2007. The Department received Board of Regents approval for an entry-level Doctoral
degree (DPT) in 2004, and the first DPT class matriculated in August 2005. The fully integrated
DPT program, consisting of 137 credit hours over 9 consecutive semesters with 33 weeks of fulltime clinical education, matriculated its first class in Fall of 2005. After accepting a smaller first
class, the program accepts on average 44 students each year, more than any other PT program in
the State.
Respiratory Therapy - Georgia State University achieved university status from the Board of
Regents in 1969 and at that time the program of respiratory therapy was also approved. A
hospital-based respiratory therapy teaching program at Crawford W. Long Hospital, was phased
out and instituted in the Department of Respiratory Therapy at Georgia State University within
its School of Allied Health Professions. In keeping with the growth of the respiratory therapy
profession, the department’s A.S. program was phased out in 1979 to emphasize the B.S.
program. The Master of Science degree approved in 1978 offered respiratory therapy as a
specialization. The current name of the major is Health Sciences with specializations in nutrition
and respiratory therapy. In 1986, the department name was changed to the Department of
Cardiopulmonary Care Sciences to encompass a more global term of the profession. In 2003, the
department was ranked as the top respiratory therapy educational program by other educators in
the country (AARC Ed Section Bulletin, 2003). Today, only three institutions in the country
offer a Master’s degree program placing the Division of Respiratory Therapy at the top rank of
the discipline from an educational perspective. In 2005 with the formation of the School of
Health Professions, the name of the department was changed again to the Division of Respiratory
Therapy. Currently, there are seven faculty members and over 100 students with a growing
graduate program.
Current Context
On July 1, 2005, the School of Health Professions was formed by consolidating three existing
units: the Department of Cardiopulmonary Care Sciences, the Department of Nutrition, and the
Department of Physical Therapy. With this change came a renaming of the old departments to
“Divisions.” Dr. Lynda T. Goodfellow was named Director of the School of Health Professions
and serves as Division Head for Respiratory Therapy (formerly known as Cardiopulmonary Care
Sciences). Dr. Mildred Cody serves as Division Head for Nutrition and Dr. Leslie Taylor is the
12
Division Head for Physical Therapy (see organization chart in Appendix B2). This
reorganization has proven to be very beneficial for the faculty thus far by increased camaraderie
and scholarship opportunities.
The accredited programs and degree offerings in the SHP are listed in Section A. The faculty
composition is further explicated in Table B-1.

PTIs listed in the table are not considered part of the regular faculty complement. Hiring of PTIs
is done on a semester basis by the Division Heads with compensation at $3500 per course or
$2000 per clinical course (one-day of clinical per week for a semester). In FY 08, the SHP hired
42 PTIs at a cost of $187,744. Because it can be difficult to find academically experienced PTIs
for both the classroom and on-line courses, the learning experience for students may be less than
optimal.

Faculty productivity has increased since the formation of the SHP (see Table B-2 below and
Appendix F3 for individual faculty productivity). The average number of peer-reviewed
publications per year for tenure–track (TT) faculty (n=15) is 4.2 publications per year. Nontenure Track (NTT) (n=8) faculty also publish and 14 publications over the review period were
published by faculty on NTT. External funding has increased since the formation of the School
and we anticipate both internal and external funding increases in the next few years as our
tenure-track assistant professors work towards tenure.

Credit hour generation has not only increased due to enrollment but also as a result of the
Perspectives courses, which are required for non-majors and elective courses offered to all
students. In Tables B-5 faculty credit hour generation is reported. The total number of credit
hours generated for academic years 2005- 2008 is over 50,000 credit hours.

Table B-6 shows the average credit hour generation taught by faculty rank and scholarly
productivity. Tenured/tenure track (T/TT) faculty in the SHP generates 37% of the
undergraduate (UG) student credit hours. For graduate credit hours, T/TT faculty generates 47%
of the total. NTT faculty members teach 63% of the UG credit hours and 53% of the graduate
credit hours. For clarification, masters-prepared or clinically doctoral prepared NTT faculty
teach students in their specific disciplines. Doctoral-prepared faculty with specialty preparation
would be optimal but these faculty are difficult to locate and recruit, especially in physical
therapy and respiratory therapy.

Faculty workload can be reviewed from the perspective of courses taught and the type of courses
in the curriculum. The CHHS Workload policy is followed with generally Tenure/Tenure-Track
(T/TT) faculty members in SHP teaching five courses per year (3 courses one semester and 2 the
other). Non Tenure-Track (NTT) faculty members teach 3-4 courses per semester, one of which
may be a clinical practicum course. In comparison to our peer institutions, SHP faculty (T/TT
and NTT) teach more courses per year and more students; see Tables B-7a,b,c. Each of the
three Divisions in SHP compares favorably on several dimensions regarding student enrollment,
admission criteria, peer-reviewed publications, and external funding despite the faculty having
full teaching loads.
Compared to peer institutions, Georgia State University’s Nutrition Division has a higher
teaching workload, based on indicators such as student-faculty ratios and average course load,
higher scholarly productivity, per faculty external funding and publications in refereed journals
(Table B-7a). Specifically, the Georgia State University workload is over 25% higher than the
next highest for a peer institution, the external funding per faculty member is 60% higher than
the next highest, and the peer-reviewed journal article production is 20% higher than the next
highest.

Georgia State University’s Division of Physical Therapy has the highest teaching course load
within the School of Health Professions. Based on indicators such as credit hours taught and
student-faculty ratios, the divisionhas a markedly higher teaching workload than the peer
institutions. Despite the inordinately high teaching load, faculty members are generating funding
for research and disseminating that research through peer-reviewed publications. Specifically,
workload is almost double that of the next highest for a peer institution. Incomplete data from
peer institutions did not allow for complete comparison of research publication productivity,
however, Physical Therapy faculty are generating more than 5 times the number of peer
reviewed publications than the other responding peer institution. The need for more full-time
faculty positions in physical therapy when compared to the peer data is readily apparent.

Comparisons for the Division of Respiratory Therapy with peer institutions indicate that Georgia
State University is the only institution to offer a master’s program. Of the two other RT
institutions to offer master’s degrees in the US, one did not respond and the other is solely a
Master’s entry program which is not a good comparison school given our undergraduate
enrollment. Faculty workload as measured by credit hours is comparable here at Georgia State
University when compared to peer schools.

* These institutions do not have a Master’s program for respiratory therapists.
** Does not include credit hours generated by individual supervised courses such as thesis or project.
Indicators of program relevance include graduate first-attempt pass rates on credentialing or
licensure examinations that are administered nationally. This includes the Registered Dietitian
(R.D.) exam for nutrition, licensure exam for Physical Therapists (PT), and the Registered
Respiratory Therapist (RRT) exam for respiratory therapy. Tables B-8a, b, and c show firstattempt pass rate percentages for the Divisions for years 2005- 2008. Generally, pass rate
23
success has increased over the last few years due to more stringent admission criteria, curriculum
revisions, and the use of computer software to simulate patient case scenarios and national board
questions. The goal is to have first-time pass rates at 90% or higher. As these credentialed and
licensed practitioners enter the workforce, SHP is contributing to the number of qualified
healthcare providers and addressing the shortage of practitioners in Georgia.

Dates do not represent a single graduating class. Graduates cannot take the Registration
Examination for Dietitians until they have completed an accredited dietetic internship
that usually requires a year of additional work. For example graduates taking the
registration examination in 2007 represented students who completed their DPD in 2003,

Further program relevance is noted by the teaching expertise of SHP faculty. Our faculty are
recognized by other units on campus due to SHP involvement in teaching Perspectives courses,
medical terminology, nutrition and health, CPR, GSU 1010, and Tai Chi. These courses are
offered to any student at the University and many courses are required for non-majors (nutrition
for nurses). Section F provides information on the SHP faculty quality.
Other evidence of program relevance are the graduate programs in the SHP. Indicators for the
master’s program for Nutrition and Respiratory Therapy include presentations by graduate
students at national conferences and particularly by the growing enrollments in both programs.
In 2006, nutrition enrolled the first cohort of Coordinated Program (CP) students and in 2007
respiratory therapy admitted its first cohort of Integrated Program (IP) students. Doctor of
Physical Therapy students present their research at state and national meetings.
Because of the high demand for our programs, additional faculty are needed to continue offering
our students a high quality education and to continue to offer courses outside our majors. As
noted in our goals in Section H, additional faculty will be needed for expansion for other
program options (Ph.D., Specialty Certificates) in the future.
Appendix B1 provides a rationale for choices of peer programs. These institutions were selected
independently by each Division. While some of these institutions are peer institutions for the
University, they may not offer the same programs offered in the SHP. Therefore, other
institutions were selected to benchmark against. Other appendices for Section B include an
organization chart for the SHP (B2), By-laws for the School Promotion and Tenure review at the
unit level (B3), and Current faculty roster (B4). There are no center reports to provide.
Section C: Progress toward Goals and Objectives
This is the first APR for the School and the Divisions have strived to meet the teaching,
scholarly, and service goals of their individual strategic plans. From Section A it can be noted
that the SHP has accomplished the goal of becoming more efficient and effective by the
monumental task of combining three separate departments into one School with three divisions.
This has been done alongside transitioning from a MPT to DPT degree, replacing faculty due to
retirements and other attrition, and growing both undergraduate and graduate programs. The
feasibility of offering a new BS degree in Health Professions was explored but the decision was
made not to pursue a new degree program at that time. Nonetheless, goals and objectives for
each division through the individual strategic plans are listed in Appendix C1 as progress
25
towards those goals is reviewed. As the CHHS has just updated the College Strategic plan, the
School will now incorporate the goals and objectives into a School plan that is consistent with
the College and University.
Since the last APR, the Division of Nutrition has shown great progress in identifying student
learning outcomes for each of the degree programs offered. As a result of this effort, the SHP
received an award for progress towards student learning outcomes from the Provost’s Office in
FY2008. Also, one faculty retirement has occurred with another one scheduled for 2009. A
faculty search last year was not successful and currently another search is underway for a
Division Head as a result of the pending retirement of Dr. Mildred Cody. Other items on the last
action plan have resulted in discussions for a study abroad program and to offer a specialization
in nutrition into the MPH program. A nutrition clinic for Georgia State students, faculty, and
staff has been established on campus and serves as a supervised practice setting for the CP
students. More laboratory instructional space will be available for the Division in the new
Science Teaching Lab Building.
For the Division of Physical Therapy, three major action items were approved to advance the
programs identified goals of improving student outcomes, increasing research, and enhancing
service to the community. These items include: 1) three new faculty positions to be funded over
the next three years, 2) increased dedicated space, and 3) the formation of a physical therapy
practice for faculty and students to serve the needs of the university and downtown community.
Progress within the physical therapy program has been exceptional, with very few increases in
resource allocations. The first of the three physical therapy faculty positions budgeted in the
2006 action plan has been funded. The DPT program’s credit hour generation has increased
significantly due to an increase in both the total credit hours required for the degree (up to 137
from 107) and an increase in the number of students. Part-time instructors have been hired each
semester to adequately teach labs and certain courses. Inadequate teaching and research space
remain a particular concern for physical therapy. A dedicated clinical laboratory for the physical
therapy program was approved; however, due to increased enrollment in other programs in the
College, the space is shared. The implementation of a faculty practice, requiring an investment
in physical space, was not included in the budget.
From respiratory therapy’s last action plan of 1999, all action items have been accomplished
with the exception of increased space for instructional labs. Respiratory therapy is slated to
receive space in the Science Teaching Lab building.
During the past three years a monumental shift has occurred with the merging of three distinct
departments into one School. To a large extent, this merger served to guide many of the SHP
activities and resource allocations. Progress is seen in terms of increased credit hours, more
research funding, a growing number of students in each program, increased number of courses
taught, and increased visibility in the university. The new Science Teaching Lab building will
relieve the need for quality laboratory teaching space.
Section D: Curricula Quality
26
The curricula in each of the accredited programs are designed to meet competencies and
accreditation standards. Learning outcomes assessment were developed based on objectives for
each program. This section is structured by undergraduate, masters and doctoral level programs
followed by each Division’s analysis of curricular quality based on surveys of constituents.
Learning Outcomes- undergraduate programs –Over the past 3-4 years, refinements for
Nutrition and Respiratory Therapy to incorporate evidenced based-practice, and implementation
of more stringent admissions criteria (particularly for respiratory therapy) have resulted in better
student outcomes. Appendix D1 contains all learning outcomes attained by students in the BS
programs including national board exam scores. In spite of these accomplishments, the faculty
seeks to increase the percentage of students who pass these exams on the first attempt. No
further major curriculum changes are planned given the outcomes acheived. Technology in the
classroom, writing intensive courses, and critical thinking are incorporated as major determinants
of learning assessments. Critical Thinking through Writing is to be piloted in Spring 2009 for
both nutrition and respiratory therapy. Monitoring of outcomes will continue and strategies for
continued improvement implemented as identified.
Learning Outcomes – Master’s programs: As seen in the assessment summaries of nutrition and
respiratory therapy, some outcomes have been met while others only partially met. In some
cases, the learning outcomes measures lack clarity and have been more difficult to quantify than
expected. Actions have been taken to meet and strengthen measures for student outcomes.
Learning Outcomes – DPT program: Student learning outcomes address the professional
practice expectations established by the APTA’s Normative Model of Professional Education,
version 2004, as well as the CAPTE standards. One of the main learning outcome measures
identified by the faculty was the first-time pass rate on the National Physical Therapy
Examination (NPTE). The first-time pass rate for 2005 was an unacceptable 69%. First-time
pass rates for 2006 and 2007 were 92% and 95%, respectively. This improvement is significant.
Another student outcome addressed clinical-reasoning skills, as measured, in part, by pass rates
on a division-administered comprehensive exam series. Pass rates in 2005 were below the
faculty-defined benchmark. The curriculum committee undertook intensive course review of all
clinical courses, and a core faculty or PTI physical therapist was added to every class.
Comphrehensive examination pass rates in 2008 were at or above benchmarks. The addition of
physical therapists in every class has enhanced student learning. Additionally, addressing the
student/faculty ratios to more closely approximate the national norm has improved outcomes as
well.
Nutrition Faculty Evaluation: Eighteen faculty members (11 full-time and 7 part-time)
responded to the faculty survey which included four items related to curricula quality. Three of
the items included the frequency of required course offerings, the variety of advanced course
offerings, and faculty perceptions regarding whether the program of study was academically
challenging. The mean ratings for these items were around 4.0, on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5
(excellent), and were similar to the university means. The mean rating for the fourth item,
related to faculty members’ perceptions of faculty being sufficient in number and varied in
content expertise to provide all curriculum content necessary to deliver a quality nutrition and
dietetics program, was 3.67. This rating is perhaps reflective of our lack of a faculty member
27
with expertise in management to teach required courses in organization and management and
food service systems.
Physical Therapy Faculty Evaluation: Eight full-time faculty members responded to the faculty
survey which included items addressing 1) scholarship, 2) frequency of course offerings, 3)
variety of course offerings, 4) level of staff support, 5) clarity of department goals, 6) software
availability, 7) academic challenge, 8) faculty cohesiveness, 9) expression of views, 10) input on
decisions, 11) and performance evaluations and support. Reponses to all items were 4.0 or
higher, with the exception of the item addressing clerical support (2.63) and computer/software
support (3.83).
Respiratory Therapy Faculty Evaluation: Four full-time faculty members (57.1% response rate)
responded to the faculty survey which included items addressing 1) scholarship, 2) frequency of
course offerings, 3) variety of course offerings, 4) level of staff support, 5) clarity of department
goals, 6)) software availability, 7) academic challenge, 8) faculty cohesiveness, 9) expression of
views, 10) input on decisions, 11) and performance evaluations and support. Reponses to most
items were 4.00 or higher. Exceptions included items addressing clerical support (2.50);
teaching load provides adequate time for scholarly productivity (2.25), sufficient faculty number
(2.75) and computer/data software availability (3.75). Positive written comments included
remarks as “this is a great program.” Other comments addressed the staff and the need for a
business manager. Since this time a business manager has been hired. Five supplemental
questions rated from 2.25-3.75. Teaching load provides adequate time for scholarly productivity
achieved the lowest score of 2.25
Nutrition Undergraduate Student Evaluation: The following eight items related to curricular
quality from the undergraduate surveys for current students were reviewed: program of study
academically challenging; faculty appropriately prepared for courses; program prepared me for
my professional career and/or further study; class size suitable for effective learning;
effectiveness of teaching methods; procedures used to evaluate student performance; frequency
of course offerings; and variety of major course offerings. The current undergraduate students
rated these eight items higher than the University means. Current undergraduate students gave
the lowest scores to frequency and variety of course offerings. Since the undergraduate program
is an externally accredited program and students must meet certain competencies, and given the
current workload of faculty, faculty members do not believe that it is possible to increase the
frequency and variety of course offerings at this time.
Respiratory Therapy Undergraduate Student Evaluation: Twenty questions were presented to
the current BSRT students. The questions related various aspects of curricular quality, including
1) faculty interest in academic development of students, 2) program’s academic challenge, 3)
faculty preparedness, 4) professional preparation, 5) open communication between faculty and
students, 6) class size, 7) academic advisement, 8) career advisement, 9) faculty availability, 10)
effectiveness of teaching methods, 11) evaluation procedures, 12) frequency of course offerings,
13) variety of course offering, 14) clarity of degree requirements, 15) courses developing
communication skills 16) establishing an evidence-based practice 17) availability of software,
technology 18) courses developing team building and leadership skills, 19) enhancement of
technological skill and 20) development of clinical practice. The mean ratings from current
28
BSRT students were higher than university means in all questions. Positive written comments
included remarks as “great staff “and “I love this program”. Other comments addressed the
length of clinicals and communication between faculty and foreign students.
Nutrition Graduate Student Evaluation: Responses to the eight items which related to curricular
quality were: program of study academically challenging; faculty appropriately prepared for
courses; program prepared me for my professional career and/or further study; class size suitable
for effective learning; effectiveness of teaching methods; procedures used to evaluate student
performance; frequency of course offerings; and variety of major course offerings. The mean
ratings from for current graduate students were higher than university means on 3 of the 8 items.
Items receiving the lowest ratings were related to the variety and frequency of course offerings.
The highest scoring items were on preparation of faculty for teaching courses and the procedures
used to evaluate students.
Physical Therapy Graduate Student Evaluation: Eighteen questions were presented to the
current DPT students. The questions related various aspects of curricular quality, including 1)
faculty interest in academic development of students, 2) program’s academic challenge, 3)
faculty preparedness, 4) professional preparation, 5) open communication between faculty and
students, 6) class size, 7) academic advisement, 8) career advisement, 9) faculty availability, 10)
effectiveness of teaching methods, 11) evaluation procedures, 12) frequency of course offerings,
13) variety of course offering, 14) clarity of degree requirements, 15) faculty responsiveness, 16)
suitability of class and lab space for learning, 17) clinical equipment, and 18) preparation for
evidence-based practice. Students’ responses to questions 1-5, 7-14 were well above University
means. Student assessment of class size impacting effective learning and was lower than the
University mean. Questions 15-18 were developed by the Division’s faculty for the program
review hence there are no comparative university means. Students responded positively (4.33)
that faculty were responsive to their recommendations regarding the program and that they were
being prepared to provide evidence-based practice (4.64). The lowest scores were in response to
questions about classroom and lab space (3.47) and clinical equipment (3.56). Positive written
comments included remarks such as “the faculty make this program what it is” and “I couldn’t be
more pleased with the current program that I am in.” Comments also addressed the negative
impact of large class sizes, lack of sufficient space for learning clinical skills, and need for more
faculty.
Respiratory Therapy Graduate Student Evaluation: The graduate student survey consisted of
similar questions as the undergraduate survey. The mean ratings for the current graduate
students were all higher than university mean. Graduate student comments were positive with
comments consisting of “exceedingly helpful in achieving my career goals,” “the professors
went above and beyond to help me succeed,” “excellent knowledgeable experienced staff.”
Suggestions from this group included offering the disease course online and to collaborate with
other departments in the university to offer more courses.
Nutrition Undergraduate Alumni Evaluation: The following eight items related to curricular
quality from the undergraduate alumni surveys were reviewed: program of study academically
challenging; faculty appropriately prepared for courses; program prepared me for my
professional career and/or further study; class size suitable for effective learning; effectiveness of
29
teaching methods; procedures used to evaluate student performance; frequency of course
offerings; and variety of major course offerings. Undergraduate alumni rated 7 out of 8 items
higher than the university means. Undergraduate alumni gave the lowest scores to frequency and
variety of course offerings. Since the undergraduate program is an externally accredited program
and students must meet certain competencies, and given the current workload of faculty, faculty
members do not believe that it is possible to increase the frequency and variety of course
offerings at this time.
Respiratory Therapy Undergraduate Alumni Evaluation: Nineteen questions were presented to
the BSRT alumni. These questions were similar to those asked of the BSRT current students.
The first 14 questions were all above the university mean. The last four questions, developed by
the RT department rated 3.62-4.23. Of the 28 respondents 92.6% were employed. Positive
written comments included “excellent program, great experience,” “I would highly recommend
the program,” and” I felt very confident in my knowledge upon graduation.” Other comments
addressed the large class size and case presentations in class.
Nutrition Graduate Alumni Evaluation: Means for all 8 items related to curricular quality were
higher than university means for alumni of the graduate program. Most written comments on the
surveys were positive and included remarks such as “excellent program” and “knowledgeable
and helpful teachers.” However, a few comments suggested that alumni wanted a more
challenging graduate program with a higher level of knowledge and more in-depth information
on specific topics, such as genetics and obesity. One comment also suggested the need for a more
challenging class in food service management. Some recent changes have been made in the
graduate program curriculum which respond to some of these suggested improvements. For
example, the Advanced Normal Nutrition course now consists of two separate courses offered as
a two semester course sequence, with one focusing on macronutrients and the other on
micronutrients. Students are also now required to take either Advanced Topics in Medical
Nutrition Therapy or Nutrition Issues, which address specific contemporary topics such as
obesity or genetics. Undergraduate and graduate students are also now placed in separate
courses for the management and food service courses.
Physical Therapy Graduate Alumni Evaluation: Alumni were surveyed and 37 responded (41%
response rate). With the exception of class size (4.05 compared with 4.40), all Division means
were higher than the University averages. Overall, graduates of the program felt prepared for
entry-level practice. Of the students surveyed, 86% would be interested in continued educational
opportunities with the program (transitional DPT degree). Only 2 respondents had ever served
as a clinical instructor for the program, and that low percentage may be related to the program’s
requirement that clinical instructors have 2 years of experience before assuming that role. The
majority of respondents (82%) were practicing in Georgia in a variety of clinical settings.
Respiratory Therapy Graduate Alumni Evaluation: Graduate alumni responded to 18 questions
with a response rate of 33.3%. Most of the survey was positive with department mean exceeding
university mean. Areas falling below the university mean included class size, availability of
career advisement, development of communication skills. Current area of employment for all
responders included acute care. One comment included more time spent on mechanical
ventilation and critical thinking in the last year of study.
30
Several measures of quality were reviewed in this section. Learning outcome assessments
provide a mechanism of showing evidence of student learning. Appendix D1 provides each
Division’s learning outcomes report for the past 3 years. One measure of curricular quality is
based on the approved writing intensive courses for the two undergraduate programs in Nutrition
and Respiratory Therapy as listed in Appendix D2. Degree requirements are listed in Appendix
D3 for all degree options offered in SHP as listed in the undergraduate and graduate catalog for
Georgia State University. Appendix D6 lists the undergraduate and graduation advisement
procedures for the SHP.
Section E: Student Quality
Student quality includes academic achievement; however, it also includes important factors as
the ability to exercise ethical judgment, integrity, honesty, dependability and accountability.
Student attributes are assessed, not only upon admission into the program, but throughout the
students’ involvement in the program and their capacity to demonstrate these abilities in their
classroom and clinical experiences. Specific attributes of student quality are addressed for
undergraduate programs in nutrition and respiratory therapy, followed by the graduate programs.
Nutrition Undergraduate Admissions Criteria: Applicants complete a formal application to the
SHP and are admitted to the program for the junior and senior years. General education and
basic sciences courses (Biology, Chemistry, Microbiologoy, and Anatomy and Physiology) must
be taken prior to entering the program, with a grade of C or higher. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is
also required. The average GPA of students accepted into the undergraduate program in the last
three years was 3.2, which is higher than the 2.5 of our peer instutitions.
Respiratory Therapy Undergraduate Admissions Criteria: The program admits students during
the spring semester for entrance into the program in the fall semester. The following are the
minimum requirements for admission: file a formal application in the SHP for the RT program,
all general education and basic science courses must be taken prior to entry into the program
which include Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science,
and Mathematics with a grade of “C” or better before acceptance in the program, and a minimum
grade-point average of 2.5 in the lower-division courses. Entry into the program is competitive
and based on space availability. A student who meets the minimum grade point average or other
criteria is not necessarily guaranteed acceptance. Qualified students who initially are denied
entry will be placed on a competitive waiting list. Average SAT scores for entering students for
years 2006-2008 is 2.96. Comparative SAT scores from peer institutions from 2006-2008 are:
LSU Health Sciences Center 2.92, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences 2.96, The Ohio
State University 3.22.
Nutrition Graduate Admissions Criteria: Students entering the MS in Health Sciences with a
Specialization in Nutrition have the following courses as pre-requisites: college-level courses
in Anatomy, Physiology, Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Additionally, a
biochemistry course (NUTR 3700 or equivalent) and a normal nutrition and metabolism course
(NUTR 3500 or equivalent) are prerequisites for graduate coursework but may be taken after
acceptance into the graduate program. The biochemistry and nutrition/metabolism courses must
31
have been completed within 10 years prior to beginning the graduate program if they are not
taken as a part of the graduate program. A minimum GPA of 3.0 in all college-level course work
is required. Other criteria include a minimum score of 1000 on the GRE (verbal and quantitative
scores), two letters of recommendation, and a statement of professional goals. For the MS in
Health Sciences - Coordinated Program, college-level courses in Anatomy, Physiology,
Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and either Psychology or Sociology or Anthropology
are required. A biochemistry course (NUTR 3700 or equivalent) and a normal nutrition and
metabolism course (NUTR 3500 or equivalent) must have been completed within 10 years prior
to beginning the program, if they are not taken as part of the Coordinated Program. Also, a
minimum GPA of 3.0 for all college-level course work, a minimum score of 1000 on the GRE
(verbal and quantitative scores), two letters of recommendation, and a statement of professional
goals are required.
Table E-1a provides information on graduate admission test scores for the Division of Nutrition
graduate programs. Average GRE scores (Verbal and Quantitative) for this review period for
students who applied to the MS program with a concentration in nutrition were 1032, 1054, and
1020, respectively. For students accepted into the program, the GRE scores were 1040, 1091
and 1072 respectively, while the scores of students enrolled in the program were 1023, 1100, and
1063. Table E-2a refers to the average GPA of students who applied to the MS and/or Dietetic
Internship Programs. GPAs for FY 06-08 are 3.28, 3.26 and 3.21, respectively. For students
accepted into the programs, the GPA averaged 3.45, 3.36 and 3.33, while the average GPA of
students enrolled in the programs over this same period was 3.45, 3.36 and 3.32. The quality of
the accepted MS students is comparable to peer instutions based on both GPA and GRE scores
(see Tables B-7a)

Nutrition Undergraduate Student Performance: The Commission on Accreditation of Dietetics
Education (CADE) uses the five-year pass rate on the Registration Examination for Dietitians for
34
their evaluation of accredited dietetic education programs and requires a pass rate of 80%.
During the five-year period from 2003-2007, the average five-year pass rate for first-time takers
who graduated from the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) was 82%, which was also the
national pass rate for first-time test takers. Of the 69 DPD graduates of the B.S. degree program
during this review period, 45 were accepted into professional programs to meet the requirements
for becoming credentialed as Registered and Licensed Dietitians: 19 were accepted into Dietetic
Internship Programs in Georgia; 17 were accepted into Dietetic Internship Programs outside of
Georgia; 16 were accepted into combined Masters/Dietetic Internship Programs or Graduate
Programs in Georgia; and 3 were accepted into combined Masters/Dietetic Internship Programs
or Graduate Programs outside of Georgia. One undergraduate student has been accepted into a
Doctoral Physical Therapy Program. Based on 31 responses to the question about current
employment on the alumni survey from graduates of the DPD B.S. degree program, eight
(25.8%) are currently employed in clinical nutrition care, three (9.7%) in community nutrition,
two (6.5%) in food and nutrition management, two (6.5%) in consultation and business, and one
each in education and research (3.2%) and other areas related to nutrition and dietetics (3.2%).
Five graduates (16.1%) are employed in fields other than nutrition and dietetics and nine (29%)
are not currently employed. The high percentage of alumni not currently employed is most likely
due to their participation in supervised practice programs in dietetics, which is a requirement to
become a Registered and Licensed Dietitian. In terms of scholarship, one undergraduate student
participated in the Georgia State University Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Respiratory Therapy Undergraduate Student Performance: First-time pass rates for the entrylevel exam – Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) was 100% at Georgia State with the national
average of 80%. First attempt scores for the Written Registry Respiratory Therapist (WRRT)
exam averaged 78% at Georgia State with the national average at 74%. The Clinical Simulation
Exam or the second section of the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) exam was 49%,
national pass rate at 61% during this review period. Since 2005, the faculty of respiratory
therapy have implemented strategies to improve these scores. As stated in Section B, scores for
2008 are greatly improved. Job placement averages 91% for graduates during this review period.
Nutrition Graduate Student Performance: The average five year pass rate for first-time takers
who completed the Dietetic Internship Program and the combined Dietetic Internship/Master’s
Program was 90%, compared to the 82% national pass rate for first-time takers. All 17 alumni of
the M.S. in Health Sciences with a concentration in Nutrition who responded to the alumni
survey report that they are currently employed and only one respondent (5.9%) reported
employment in a field other than nutrition and dietetics. Based on the responses received, one
(5.9%) is employed in community nutrition, two (11.8%) in acute nutrition care, two (11.8%) in
consultation and business, three (17.6%) in ambulatory nutrition care, four (23.5%) in food and
nutrition management, and four (23.5%) in other areas related to nutrition and dietetics. One
graduate student has been accepted into the Physician Assistant Program at Emory University.
Of 13 nutrition graduates of the M.S. in Health Sciences Degree, 11 continued their professional
education to become Registered and Licensed Dietitians, with 8 being accepted into Dietetic
Internship Programs in Georgia and 3 being accepted into Dietetic Internship Programs outside
of Georgia. From 2005 – 2007, the Division of Nutrition had 9 graduate student scholarly
presentations at national professional meetings, and 11 graduate student scholarly presentations
at state professional meetings. During the three year period of the self study, the Division of
35
Nutrition had 3 graduate students accepted for an intensive practicum experience in cancer
provided by the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and 2 students appointed
as dietetic student representatives to the board of the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics
Education, the accrediting body for dietetic education programs of the American Dietetic
Association. Also, one student was elected as a member of the Student Council Advisory
Committee of the American Dietetic Association. We have also had 7 students receive national
scholarships from the American Dietetic Association Foundation and 2 students receive state
scholarships. Four nutrition students have been recipients of the Dietetic Student of the Year
Award from the Georgia Dietetic Association and 12 students have received internal GSU
awards. Seven articles have been published by students in refereed and scholarly publications.
Many of these publications have resulted from graduate students’ thesis or master’s projects and
have been published collaboratively with faculty members.
Physical Therapy Graduate Student Performance: Comparisons for the Division of Physical
Therapy with peer institutions indicate that GSU has the highest enrollment over the past two
years. The GPA of incoming classes has averaged slightly lower (i.e., 3.35 vs. 3.47-3.71) than
the responding peer institutions. GRE scores of incoming GSU students were similar to those of
the responding peer institutions. Student to full-time faculty ratios at the peer institutions ranged
from 2:1 to10:1. At 15:1, GSU has the highest ratio by far. The peer programs report a 91 - 98%
graduation rate, with our program graduating 90% of students accepted into the program. Peer
institution licensure pass rates ranged from 93-100%, while GSU has a 96% pass rate. All
programs report 100% employment rates.
Respiratory Therapy Graduate Student Performance: Student performance during this review
period for traditional M.S. graduates has not been effectively tracked due to the low numbers of
students. These graduates are already registered respiratory therapists who are mostly working
practitioners. As the current IP students complete their degrees, their exam scores, placements,
etc will be monitored the same as the undergraduate alumni. Peer institutions chosen from the
survey results do not have a Master’s program so we are unable to present comparative GPA and
GRE scores.
Section F: Faculty Quality
The activities of the faculty have been discussed extensively in previous sections. It is important
to reiterate that the SHP is a very young and unique school with few direct comparisons to
similar schools at other institutions. The depth and breadth of the faculty’s accomplishments will
continue to grow as the School matures. Overall, the faculty of the SHP have extensive
university teaching experience. Many faculty hold graduate faculty appointments (Appendices
F1 & F2). By desire and necessity, most faculty teach at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels.
During the review period, no T/TT faculty members received tenure or were promoted.
However, two TT assistant professors received favorable third year reviews in the application
process for tenure and promotion. Additionally, one NTT faculty member was promoted from
instructor to clinical assistant professor.
36
The School’s faculty have received numerous honors for their scholarly, teaching, and service
activities. Four examples follow. Dr. Dan Benardot, Associate Professor of Nutrition, received
Georgia State University’s 2007 International Excellence Award. Dr. Benardot was recognized
for his nutritional and hydration plan implemented by the gold-medal winning United States
Gymnastics Team at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and the medal-winning USA marathoners
at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Dr. Chris Rosenbloom, Professor of Nutrition, received the
2008 SCAN Achievement Award from the Sports Cardiovascular Wellness Nutritionists at a
ceremony in April 2008. The award is presented for contributions in the area of sports nutrition,
cardiovascular wellness, and the prevention of eating disorders. Dr. Gordon Warren, Professor
of Physical Therapy, has been recognized by the Thomson Institute for Scientific Information for
his scholarly productivity. His research articles have been cited more than 1700 times in the
scientific peer-reviewed literature. Finally, Dr. Lynda Goodfellow was elected the Education
Section Chair-Elect in 2007 of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC, the
national professional association for respiratory therapists) and will be Chair beginning 2009.
As noted in Section B, faculty have brought in a total of $550K in external funds in the last three
years. Most faculty have acquired funds, either external or internal, taking advantage of the
college and university’s funded research programs (Appendix F3). Faculty publications in
scholarly journals (total of 63) have been more than sufficient with the average number of
refereed publications per T/TT faculty per year equaling 4.2 (Tables B-2 and B-6). In addition
to publications, the faculty have produced 54 other scholarly works and presented 119 papers at
regional, state, national, and international conferences. Though it is somewhat difficult to
compare to peer institutions in terms of scholarly productivity, the school’s faculty appear to
have achieved a comparable level of production in both the area of refereed journal publications
and in the area of external grant and contract awards (Table B7).
Appendix F4 discusses how the SHP faculty were involved in this self-study.
Section G: Resource Adequacy
Faculty Resources: Appendix G1 provides student/faculty ratio for the three divisions. The
student/faculty ratios appear sufficient for advising students and similar student interactions with
the exception of physical therapy. Due to the heavy credit hour requirements for the DPT, the
teaching load of the clinical faculty is very high as well as the faculty/student ratio as compared
to peer data (Section B). With the DPT at full enrollment capacity and with concerted efforts to
grow the graduate programs in nutrition and respiratory therapy, working on independent student
efforts, such as projects and theses is challenging, given the relatively large number of graduate
students. Nutrition is missing critical faculty content expertise in foodservice/clinical
management for our accredited programs and this course sequence has been taught by a part-time
faculty member for many years. With scheduled retirements, nutrition will also be missing food
science content for the 2009/10 academic year. Nutrition has significant effort in teaching
courses for non-majors, including Perspectives courses in the core (PERS 2001 and PERS 2002)
and a required nutrition course for nursing students (NUTR 3200). NUTR 3300 can replace
NUTR 3200 for nursing majors; it is taken by pre-nursing students. NUTR 3100 is a popular
campus-wide elective. The mean student/faculty ratio for these courses is 46:1. As discussed in
37
Section C, the physical therapy 2006 approved Action Plan identified the need for three
additional full-time faculty members. The first, a non-tenure track position, was approved and
filled in August 2007. The second, a tenure-track position, was not selected for funding in this
recent year’s budget, however is positioned well for funding in the next year (FY2010). We
anticipate the final position, an NTT clinical faculty position to be funded that year or the year
after. One staff position was converted to an academic professional to help lower our ratios and
share the teaching load in respiratory therapy. In all divisions, the “right” faculty specialty
complement is needed because it is essential to have sufficient faculty in various specialty areas
to assure quality teaching in specialty tracks. NTT faculty members with certification in specific
specialty areas must teach students in clinical tracks as required by credentialing agencies. Thus,
some NTT faculty members must teach students in graduate programs.
Administrative Resources: The SHP has four full-time staff members, including one Business
Manager III, one Administrative Specialist for Academics, and two Administrative Coordinators.
There is also one Temporary Administrative Coordinator and three student assistants working
under the SHP and two additional student assistants working in the Division of Nutrition.
Providing adequate staff support for the School, as well as for each of the three distinct academic
units, has been a work in progress since the school was formed. The School started with a staff
contraction plan and over the past three years, we have learned that this contraction was too
much. The SHP staff are required to cover two office suites. When our staff numbers are
compared to other units within the College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS), the SHP is
under-staffed by half for a unit of our size. The School is continually working with staff to
improve quality and is working to make the temporary position a full-time position as soon as
possible. To compound this problem, the School’s grant and contract activity is approaching a
level where we will need additional grants management support in the future. This will put us in
line with other units which are similar in size.
Technological Resources: Technology resources are adequate and technology is up-to-date.
Each faculty and staff member has a desktop computer and printer and can be networked to the
copier for larger print jobs. Faculty members are also able to request laptop computers that they
can use at home or for off-site data collection. Specialized software is also purchased on request
for faculty who need it. The School has a schedule for replacing computers for staff and faculty,
but we are also able to deal with emergency purchases that come up unexpectedly. A number of
on-line courses are offered by the faculty of SHP and many students use PDAs as part of their
clinical practicums for easy access to medical information.
Space Resources: As of 2005, all three units in the SHP were moved into newly-renovated space
on the 8th (Nutrition) and 12th (Physical Therapy and Respiratory Therapy) floors of the Urban
Life Building. This move greatly improved the office situation for faculty in both Physical
Therapy and Respiratory Therapy who had been located in Kell Hall. All faculty members
currently have private offices and also have access to conference/seminar rooms on an as-needed
basis, which are shared among the units of the CHHS. However, if the School is expected to
continue to grow, more office space will be needed because there are no empty offices for
additional faculty or staff. While storage space is limited in the School, it is sufficient at this
time. In Nutrition, student assistants and part-time instructors have shared space with four
networked computers and working surfaces. Space for graduate nutrition students will be
38
adequate once the graduate office is available for use; it is currently used as swing space for a
faculty member whose office is being renovated. On the 12th floor of Urban Life, the SHP shares
a graduate computer room which has four computers and work space.
Laboratory Resources: All three units in the School require laboratory space for research and
teaching. Nutrition has three laboratory spaces: the nutritional biochemistry lab, the Laboratory
for Elite Athletic Performance (LEAP), which is shared with respiratory therapy, and the food
science lab. The nutritional biochemistry lab is somewhat cramped, although it does have the
needed equipment. LEAP is sufficient. However, the food science lab is outdated and has
insufficient storage. The space projected for Nutrition in the new science building will meet all
current needs for laboratory space. Physical Therapy has limited laboratory space that is shared.
The unit currently shares a teaching lab with nursing, which is also strapped for space. Research
space is also tight and is shared among faculty. Although more faculty members need access to
lab space than is possible at any given time, faculty work well together and are diligent in
scheduling times to enhance efficient use of the space. The SHP was able to convert lab space for
one faculty member and his research, which is critical, given that his research is funded at a
significant level and involves animals. However, this means that the space is no longer available
for instruction. All physical therapy faculty currently share the biomechanics lab since the
research program for the unit has grown significantly over the past three years. There will be
very little research space in the new Science Teaching building, so we will need to continue to
use the space in Kell Hall as our funded research projects continue to increase. Respiratory
Therapy currently has one instructional lab and one small area where bench lab research is
conducted for aerosol therapy. In respiratory therapy, the instructional lab requires at least two
sessions so that all students have adequate access to the equipment. We have worked through
technology fees to improve the equipment in instructional labs in order to bring the equipment
up-to-date, but resources for instructional labs remain minimally adequate.
GSU Foundation Resources: Foundation resources for nutrition are very limited and we do not
have any endowed scholarships, for example. Physical Therapy has several scholarships for
students, including the Gordon Cummings Scholarship which is endowed, and two programs for
faculty development, including the Marylou Barnes fund and the Lois Statham Simons fund.
Physical Therapy would like to develop more scholarship opportunities for students. Respiratory
Therapy has foundation funds for student scholarships, which has helped us to assist students
financially and improve the perception of our programs.
Library Resources: The School receives sufficient library funds to support the collection, journal
holdings, and audio-visual needs of the School. Both students and faculty report that library
resources are adequate and that our School’s library liaison is excellent (Appendix G2).
Section H: Goals and Objectives
The prioritized goals and objectives are presented in Table H-1. The goals and objectives are
based on the issues identified in this report and on components of the divisions’ strategic plans.
In some cases we have already initiated activities to achieve the goals and objectives. We expect
to achieve these goals if new resources are provided.

Current funding supports research

will need to seek external (and internal)
funding. This funding is essential for
providing the release time and other resources
needed for strong research programs.

require additional staff time. The SHP is
understaffed for faculty support in the area of

In summary, the goals of SHP are to improve the first time pass rates of students in our professional programs, to improve the research
environment for faculty and students as a route to increasing scholarly productivity, and to begin serving the public through
development of faculty practice that also will provide teaching and research opportunities for our students and faculty. These goals
can be addressed through infusion of relatively minor resources, largely retention and renovation of laboratory space in Kell Hall, an
increase in staff support, and program planning for the faculty practice.
In concluding this self-study, the SHP offers an excellent education to undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students. The dedication
and expertise of the faculty make this education possible. We are proud of our accomplishments in the past three years as a new
School and of those of our students and alumni. We look forward to continuing our quest to educate the Dietitians, Physical
Therapists and Respiratory Therapists of the future who will make a significant contribution to the health of those they serve.

Appendix B1: Rationale for Choices of Peer Programs
Nutrition
The Division of Nutrition chose the following three institutions as its peers: University of
Cincinnati; University of Memphis; and University of Pittsburgh. All three universities are
currently “Urban 13” institutions. Ten of the 21 “Urban 13” institutions, including Georgia State,
have nutrition and dietetic programs. Of these 10 institutions, we chose three which offered
similar programs to those offered in the Division of Nutrition, including BS, MS and MS
Coordinated Programs, and those not offering doctoral programs in nutrition. Programs not
affiliated with a medical center were also desired, although the University of Cincinnati did not
meet this criterion.
Physical Therapy
The Division of Physical Therapy chose the following three institutions as its peers: University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; The State University of New York, University at Buffalo; and
the University of Cincinnati. The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill is listed as one of
Georgia State University’s Southern University Group peer institutions, and is a Board of
Regents (BOR) Proposed Aspirational Institution. The University of Cincinnati is a current
“Urban 13” Institution. The State University of Buffalo is also a BOR Proposed Aspirational
Institution. Similar to Georgia State University, two of the three programs recently transitioned
from awarding a Master of Physical Therapy to a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Twelve of the current 21 “Urban 13” institutions have physical therapy schools. Of those 12,
seven of the institutions also have medical schools. All of the three peer institutions chosen have
a Medical School.
Respiratory Therapy
The Division of Respiratory Therapy chose the following three institutions as its peers:
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences; Louisiana State University; and The Ohio State
University. These three universities were chosen because they offered similar BS programs to
those offered in the Division of Respiratory Therapy at Georgia State University. These
universities are members of the Southern University Group. University of Alabama at
Birmingham is also an Urban 13 school. These programs do not offer a MS program in
respiratory therapy.
Table B-1a Peer Institution Data outlines information about faculty and students from these
programs.

Vision
To be recognized nationally for nutrition issues relevant to urban communities with a focus on
obesity and related disorders.
Mission
To prepare professionals who enhance individual and community health through dietetics
practice and to contribute to professional and scholarly knowledge in the fields of nutrition and
dietetics.
Goal #1: Teaching, Clinical Training, and Program Evaluation
The department will enhance its teaching and clinical training activities to ensure that
students in our programs are meeting established learning outcomes and are competent
health care professionals meeting the needs of society by:
1. Identifying quality student placements for clinical training and seeking interested and
qualified clinical preceptors to ensure students are provided with relevant and cuttingedge practice experiences prior to entering the profession.
2. Offering accredited and career relevant programs that meet the needs of our students.
3. Monitoring student outcomes to assess teaching effectiveness and need for curriculum
revision.
4. Using technology to make educational opportunities more accessible to students and
to enhance the learning experience of students.
5. Maintaining accreditation of the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and the
Dietetic Internship Program (DI) with the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics
Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA).
6. Conducting ongoing and systematic program evaluation by surveying current students
and alumni, clinical preceptors, and employers who hire our graduates and using
input from the Department Advisory Committee.
7. Collecting and disseminating information about the professional activities of our
alumni (i.e. publications, leadership positions in professional organizations, and local
and national presentations at professional meetings).
Action Items for Goal #1:
A. Evaluate DPD and DI curriculum every two years using the Commission on
Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) Standards of Education to assess
curriculum relevancy, comprehensiveness, and overlaps and/or gaps (Undergraduate
Team; Dietetic Internship Team).
B. During the 2004-2005 academic year, evaluate the department policy of awarding
9
DPD verification statements only to students who receive degrees at GSU
(Undergraduate Team).
C. During the 2004-2005 academic year, review data from recent graduate students
surveyed about the MS program (Graduate Team).
D. During the 2004-2005 academic year, design and implement survey to administer to
RDs in metro-Atlanta to identify those who desire MS degree and determine the kinds
of courses/program they are seeking (Graduate Team).
E. Develop student learning outcomes for each program and develop a system to assess
progress in meeting learning outcomes by the end of 2004 (Dietetic Internship Team;
Graduate Team; Undergraduate Team).
F. Develop the nutrition course for nursing students as an on-line course over the next 3
years.
G. Post all nutrition course syllabi on the department’s website.
H. During the 2004-2005 academic year, begin systematic evaluation of DPD and DI for
5-year interim report for CADE for accreditation (Dietetic Internship Team;
Undergraduate Team).
I. Revise current surveys used to evaluate all programs during the 2004-2005 academic
year and develop a system for administering surveys on a regular basis (Dietetic

f. Technology
B. Elements of Assessment
a. Communication
i. All students begin a thorough self-assessment of their verbal and
nonverbal communication style in their first semester of the DPT program
(PT 6709).
ii. Assessment of communication is a part of every clinical course. Students
are evaluated on their verbal and nonverbal communication skills during
practical examinations.
iii. Case presentations Spring Semester of third year. Each student presents a
comprehensive case study of a patient including relevant evidence for
interventions and expected outcomes to faculty and students.
iv. Research Presentations in Fall semester third year. Students present their
original research in poster and platform formats to faculty and students.
They also produce a manuscript of their research.
v. Written Communication is assessed for grammatical and scientific
accuracy through research papers, research matrices.
b. Collaboration
i. Exit Interviews: Each student is encouraged to meet with the Division
Head and/or faculty advisor to provide in-depth discussion on the
strengths and weaknesses of the program.
ii. Focus groups: Upon returning to campus following 8-week affiliations,
students participate in faculty-led focus groups to discuss their clinical
experience and self-assess their preparedness. Students participate in
these focus groups three times during their program of study.
iii. Clinical Site Visits: The ACCE and PT Faculty visit each student at least
once during their clinical affiliations. Student, faculty member, and
facility clinical instructor meet to discuss the student’s clinical
performance based on the standardized instrument, the Clinical
Performance Inventory. during Summer 2005, 36 clinical sites were
visited. Over 100 phone consults were held.
c. Critical Thinking
i. Comprehensive Written Examinations: At the completion of each Spring
Semester, students take a comprehensive examination. Each year’s
28
examination has progressively complex questions. At the completion of
year one, the examination consists of 50 questions and students must pass
with a 70%. At the completion of year two, the examination consists of
100 questions and students must pass with a 75%. At the completion of
Year three, students take a 200 question cumulative and comprehensive
examination to assess their competency in specific content areas of
Physical Therapy. A satisfactory passing score of 80% is required to
complete the program and graduate. This standardized exam is
administered on-line in a manner that simulates the national licensure
examination.
ii. Practical Examinations: Each patient management course includes
practical examinations where each student, acting as the physical therapist,
must effectively complete a patient examination, evaluation, intervention,
and assessment based on the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice.
iii. Clinical Performance Inventory: Each student must pass each clinical
affiliation according to the nationally-used inventory for assessing student
competence. 2005 data show that 99% of the students met or surpassed
those criteria.
iv. FSBPT Pass Rate: Upon graduating, students must sit for the national
licensure examination. Georgia State’s ultimate pass rate for the FSBPT
exam is 94.14%.
v. Graduate Survey: Six-months after graduation, students are asked to
evaluate their satisfaction with the program preparation and the strengths
and weaknesses of the program.
vi. Employer Survey: Following graduation from the program, students are
asked to provide employment status and location, and a nationally
standardized survey instrument on their clinical ability is sent to the
clinical employer.
d. Contemporary Issues
i. Cultural competence is threaded throughout the curriculum in each patient
management course.
ii. Contemporary health issues are threaded throughout the curriculum in
each patient management course.
e. Quantitative Skills
i. Students are proficient with basic statistical software as evidenced by
successful completion of data management of research projects.
f. Technology
i. Upon graduation students are able to effectively navigate electronic
medical records and scheduling systems.
ii. Students are exposed to and show proficiency in current electrotherapeutic
modalities.
iii. Students are proficient in using computer-based literature databases.

I.
For the undergraduate program BS degree, six outcomes were assessed.
A. Outcomes assessed
1. communication skills both orally and in writing
2. advanced respiratory therapy skills
3. technical performance of advanced skills
4. professional behaviors expected of advanced-level therapists
5. use of technology
6. critical thinking skills within the context of professional respiratory care
practice
For the graduate program (MS degree) five outcomes were assessed.
1. Utilize critical thinking skills in the interpretation and application of research
2. Demonstrate entry-level competence in the design, interpretation and ethical
conduct of research
3. Demonstrate technical and scientific oral and written communication skills;
4. Design and evaluate respiratory care case management plans and interventions
for health promotion and disease prevention for individuals and subpopulation
groups based on the efficacy and strength of scientific evidence
5. Evaluate contemporary principles of health policy in the U.S. and other
countries to better understand the essential components of delivering health
services
B. Elements of undergraduate assessment and Data Collected
1. Case presentations
For outcome 1 – all students must successfully orally present a case study to the
faculty and students at least once during the clinical seminar as part of their
clinical practice. Twenty-nine senior RT students during fall semester scored from
30
0 to 4, mean 3.4. During spring 2005, junior RT student scores ranged from 0 to 4
with mean of 3.1.
2. Capstone course
For outcome 1 – RT 4085 “Professional Trends to Extend Long-term Care” is a
writing intensive capstone course that concentrates on a series of reflective
assignments designed to allow the senior student to demonstrate their proficient
writing skills in respiratory therapy. Forty-two students enrolled for a class
average for written assignments of 89.6%.
3. Mid-Program comprehensive exam
For outcome 2 - Upon completion of the first year of the respiratory care program,
graduates will demonstrate competent understanding of advanced skills by
scoring >75% of this exam. This exam is given at the end of the summer
semester. Scores ranged from 101 to 134 out of 140 with average score of 122
(87%).
4. NBRC Entry Level CRT
For outcome 2 – all students must successfully complete the National Board for
Respiratory Care’s (NBRC) Entry Level Exam, and obtain the “Certified
Respiratory Therapist” credential to demonstrate cognitive mastery of entry level
skills. The pass rate during spring semester for first time attempts was 92%
(36/39) and all students passing prior to graduation. For comparison, the national
average for passing on the first attempt in 2005 was 58%.
5.
NBRC Written Registry Exam
For outcome 2 - NBRC Written Registry exam is a measure of cognitive mastery
on advanced therapist skills and procedures taken after graduation, and involves
predominantly ‘application’ and ‘analysis’ items. The class of 2005 had an 88%
pass rate (14 of 16 graduates). The national average for this cohort was 75%. For
the class of 2006, we gave the students the option of taking the registry exam
instead of the exit final (use the registry exam as the exit final). There were 32 of
39 students who attempted the written registry exam for a first attempt pass rate of
81%. These percentages may change as the remaining students will attempt the
exam after graduation.
6.
NBRC Clinical Simulation Exam
For outcome 2 - NBRC Clinical Simulation exam is another measure of cognitive
mastery on advanced therapist skills and procedures taken after graduation, and
31
involves demonstration of higher-level patient management ability, including
therapeutic procedure initiation and modification. The class of 2005 has a 56%
pass rate (9 of the 16 graduates) on their first attempt. For the class of 2006, we
gave the students the option of taking the clinical simulation exam instead of the
exit final (use this as part of the exit final). There were 12 of 39 students who
attempted the clinical simulation prior to graduation for a first attempt pass rate of
39%. These percentages may change as the remaining students are yet to attempt
the exam.
9.
Departmental Exit Exam
For outcome 2 - a cumulative and comprehensive assessment of understanding
and minimal competency of content areas in Respiratory Therapy is required.
Since we piloted the option of students taking the NBRC written registry as
opposed to a self-assessment on-line exam, only the scores for the written registry
are used. This is a computer-based written exam administered by the NBRC. A
passing score is determined by the NBRC based on all candidates across the
country attempting the exam. Of the graduating seniors in May who opted for this
exam (32/39), scores ranged from 60 to 88 with the mean at 81%.
10.
Employer Survey-Psychomotor
For outcome 3 -following graduation from the program, a nationally standardized
survey instrument on students’ clinical skills is sent to the clinical employer. For
each item, a score of >2 on a 1 to 5 scale is needed to indicate minimal
acceptability. Responses were received from 5 employers who hired graduates of
the class of 2005. No scores < 3 were reported on clinical proficiency (mean 4.5).
11.
Graduate Survey-Psychomotor
For outcome 3 – six-month post graduation students are asked to evaluate their
satisfaction with the program preparation for performance of clinical skills in
Respiratory Therapy. For each item, a score of >2 on a 1 to 5 scale is needed to
indicate minimal acceptability. Responses were received from three graduates of
the Class of 2005. No scores < 3 were reported regarding clinical proficiency
(mean 4.6).
12.
Summative Psychomotor Evaluation
For outcome 3 - in order to complete the program, each student must demonstrate
adequate clinical skills as rated by an instructor. Grading is Pass/Fail. All
graduating seniors (100%) in May scored satisfactorily on their final clinical
externship skills check-off.
32
13.
Employer Survey-Affective
For outcome 4 - following graduation from the program, a nationally standardized
survey instrument on students’ professional behavior is sent to the clinical
employer. For each item, a score of >2 on a 1 to 5 scale is needed to indicate
minimal acceptability. Responses were received from 5 employers who hired
graduates of the class of 2005. No scores < 3 were reported regarding behavioral
skills (mean 4.9).
14.
Graduate Survey-Affective
For outcome 4 – six-months post graduation students are asked to evaluate their
satisfaction with the program preparation for professional behavior in Respiratory
Therapy. For each item, a score of >2 on a 1 to 5 scale is needed to indicate
minimal acceptability. Responses were received from three graduates of the class
of 2005. No scores < 3 were reported regarding behavioral skills (mean 4.8).
15.
Summative Affective Evaluation
For outcome 4 - in order to complete the program, each student must demonstrate
adequate professional behavior as rated by an instructor. Grading is Pass/Fail.
All graduating seniors in spring 2005 (100%) demonstrated adequate professional
behavior in their clinical practice.
16.
Entry Level Self Assessment Exam
For outcome 5 - all students must complete this exam at the end of fall semester
of the senior year, as a formative exercise to prepare for the first phase of the
national board exam (Entry Level CRT). This secure exam given via the Web
and feedback is provided on each content area. Fall semester 2005, scores were
from 105 to 138 with the mean score of 126.
17.
NBRC Clinical Simulation Exam
For outcome 6 - this exam is a measure of cognitive mastery on advanced
therapist skills and procedures taken after graduation. The exam consists of 10
separate patient management problems. The clinical setting and patient situation
for each problem are designed to simulate reality and be relevant to the clinical
practice of respiratory care. This exam also involves demonstration of higherlevel patient management ability, including therapeutic procedure initiation and
modification. A passing score is required on this exam in addition to that on the
Written Registry, to obtain the credential of ‘Registered Respiratory Therapist’
(RRT). The class of 2005 has 14 of the 16 graduates (88%) who earned the RRT
credential.
33
For the graduate outcomes, one graduate student graduated in fall 2005 and
another started the master’s track in fall 2005. It is difficult to adequately
measure outcomes with 2 students, however, the following was assessed.
For outcomes 1 – 3: To demonstrate appreciation of the research process, one
student’s work on comparing End-tidal CO2 and PaCO2 values in the NICU was
accepted as a abstract publication in the Respiratory Care Journal and presented
at the Respiratory Care International Congress as a poster presentation.
For outcomes 3 & 5, all students completed RT 6030 Advanced Topics in
Ventilator Support and RT 6040 Advanced Cardiopulmonary Monitoring with a C
or better. Also, all students completed HHS 8000 Trends Affecting Health Policy
with a grade of C or better.
C.
Data Analysis
Data was analyzed by review of reports from the NRBC for examination results,
clinical evaluations for skills check-offs and professional behavior, student
grades, and descriptive details of standardized forms from the national accrediting
agency for respiratory therapy (Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care
– CoARC).
II.
Achievement of Departmental Objectives for Students and Learning Outcomes in the
Major
A. Undergraduate
1. Communication skills both orally and in writing
Students successfully achieved objectives in communication skills through case
presentations and written expression through a Writing-Intensive Course RT
4085.
2. Advanced respiratory therapy skills
Overall, students successfully achieved objectives in advanced respiratory therapy
skills as evidenced by 92% pass rate for CRT exam on the first attempt. One
student has yet to graduate due to failing to apply for graduation. NBRC written
registry and clinical simulation scores for the class of 2005 are higher than the
class of 2004 but still less that anticipated, particularly the clinical simulation
exam.
3. Technical performance of advanced skills
34
Students successfully achieved objectives in technical performance.
4. Professional behaviors expected of advanced-level therapists
Students successfully achieved objectives in professional behaviors.
2. Use of technology
Students successfully achieved objectives in use of technology by completing
web-based exams through the NBRC and via the clinical monitoring tool DataArc
located on their PDA.
3. Critical thinking skills within the context of professional respiratory care practice
Approximately 90% (14/16) of the class of 2005 has successfully achieved objectives
in critical thinking as evidenced by obtaining the RRT credential.
B. Graduate
The graduate curriculum is structured to cover all of the learning outcomes in required
coursework. All students are required to maintain a 3.0 or better GPA, with no course
credit for a grade lower than a C. The three core RT courses include completion of a
significant project, or development and completion of a thesis. The thesis experiences
requires establishment of a three-person committee, approval of a proposal prior to
beginning the thesis, and communication of the thesis in written and oral form to
graduate students and faculty. The thesis committees must approve the final written and
oral reports.
III.
Changes to Procedures or Curriculum on Assessment
A.
Undergraduate
In spring 2005, RT 4075, Patient Care Management, was revised to emphasize
analysis of patient care management strategies for the respiratory therapist. After 2
offerings of this revised course, the first time pass rates on the written RRT went from
88% to 82%. The option of allowing students to take the first part of their registry
exam before graduation resulted in 26 of 39 students (66%) completing this exam
prior to graduation and not afterwards.

Learner objectives:
•
•
•
The learner will demonstrate his/her comprehension of food science vocabulary,
concepts, and calculation problems by answering questions of the types found in the
course practice tests and in class demonstration. Examples of questions from class
demonstrations will include construction of a Nutrition Facts panel from data in the
USDA nutrient database; recipe conversions for metric, serving size, and format changes;
and calculations of Cost of Food at Home. Online tests with examples of short answer
questions are available, can be taken as often as the learner wishes, and do not count
toward the final grade. The short answer questions for the course tests will be taken from
the same databases that support the practice tests. These questions cover the following
topics:
o Consumer food choices
o Recipes
o Sensory qualities of food and their evaluation
o Food economics
o Food composition
o Food safety
The learner will demonstrate his/her community participation by making at least two
substantive contributions to class discussion during the semester. These contributions
may be made verbally in class sessions or online in class discussion boards. A substantive
contribution is a question or a comment that moves the class discussion forward or
provides insight into an issue closely related to the class discussion. The instructor will
recognize these contributions by e-mail to the student who makes them.
Using nutrient data for several items in various product categories, class participants will
assign each product category to a food group in My Pyramid and provide a written
39
justification for that assignment based on key nutrient comparisons. To accomplish this
objective, the learner will:
o use food label information on the class data table to answer questions about
nutrient composition
o compare the nutrient contents of the product categories to nutrient contents of
groups on My Pyramid
o designate a My Pyramid group placement for the product categories based on
nutrient factors
o justify the My Pyramid recommendations for the product categories
o analyze and describe the process for making the My Pyramid group
recommendations
This project is further described in class as we work together to make the assignments.
•
The learner will complete a research project that requires comparison of two food
products using a difference test or a paired comparison test. To accomplish this objective,
the learner, in partnership with other classmates, will
o formulate a question about two food products that can be answered by using a
difference test or a paired comparison test.
o design a sensory scorecard for collecting data from panelists.
o administer the test during the assigned class session during a ten-minute time slot.
o analyze the data from the test using the table appropriate to the test.
o write a project report that includes the objective of the project, the methodology
used to answer the question posed about the food products, the results, and the
conclusions.
o write a consumer-focused news item on the problem, its outcome, and its potential
significance to the reader.
o make an oral presentation to the class on the outcome of the research
This project is further described by the assignment Organoleptic Evaluation of a Food
Product.
•
The learner will construct a kitchen inspection form to record problems in sanitation and
food handling practices in a consumer kitchen. Using the kitchen inspection form, the
learner will conduct an inspection and write recommendations to the consumer/owner for
correcting identified problems. To accomplish these objectives, the learner will
o participate in a class discussion of potential problem home food sanitation and
food handling practices.
o develop a kitchen inspection form.
o record inspection results on form.
o write recommendations for correcting all problems documented by inspection.
This project is further described by the assignment Kitchen Inspection Project. Ellen
Steinberg, MS, RD, will assist with this project.
40
•
Writing is an important component of this course. You will have several opportunities in
this course to write for lay and professional audiences and to answer discussion questions
on examinations. Please note that each assignment (except for examinations) includes
points for grammar and spelling. Poor grammar and misspellings distract the reader,
making it harder for him/her to understand what you are trying to communicate.
Sometimes it is helpful to have a "writing buddy" who can critique your paper before you
submit it. Word processing programs include grammar checks and spell checks, too. The
course writing assistants are Gabriela Foghis and Gabrielle Washburn.
•
The learner will demonstrate his/her professional behavior by showing respect for all
class participants. Examples of professional behavior include silencing cell phones,
coming to class prepared and on time, and sharing helpful information. One way to
demonstrate this behavior is to ask questions about assignments or course content on the
class bulletin board so that others will have access to the information. When the
instructor responds to an individual question asked face-to-face, by telephone, or by email, she will send the question and answer to the class, unless the question is personal.

Organoleptic Evaluation of a Food Product
Scenario:
Many questions about product quality and acceptability can best be answered through sensory
testing (organoleptic evaluation). Choosing an appropriate sensory method is crucial to
successfully answering these questions. This assignment is a short research project similar to one
you might conduct in a professional setting. Your submission will include both a report written
for professionals and a report written for consumers.
Goals:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Formulate a question about two food products that can be answered by using a difference
test or a paired comparison test.
Design a sensory scorecard for collecting data from panelists.
Administer the test during the assigned class session during a ten-minute time slot.
Analyze the data from the test using the table appropriate to the test.
Write a professional project report that includes the objective of the project, the
methodology used to answer the question posed about the food products, the results, and
the conclusions.
Write a consumer-focused news item on the problem, its outcome, and its potential
significance to the reader.
Procedure:
•
•
•
Choose a product. Identify a question you have about the product that could be answered
by a difference test or a paired comparison test. You need to plan a minimum of one twoproduct comparison, i.e., a home-baked oatmeal cookie versus a packaged oatmeal
cookie.
Choose the appropriate sensory test to answer your question. You will need to describe
your reason for selecting the test over other possible tests in your paper; this is the
"justification."
Determine how you will analyze your data (statistical analysis, use of analytical tables,
etc.).
44
•
•
•
•
•
•
Outline your proposed project, including the above information in one well-written
paragraph, and e-mail it to Dr. Cody for approval by noon on September 14.
After approval, develop your sensory scorecard and your plan for administering the test.
You will be able to do this during class time on September 18.
Using the test techniques available to you, administer your test to classmates during class
on September 20.
Analyze the results of your test, and draw conclusions based on your results.
Write a project report for a professional audience that includes the following elements:
problem statement that includes relevance to consumers, methodology, statement of
findings, conclusions, copy of scorecard. This report should be no longer than 1000
words, excluding the scorecard.
Write a consumer-focused news item on your findings. The news item should be a single
paragraph with a 100-word maximum. The item should focus on the problem and the
findings. While the focus is not on the methodology, a professional should be able to tell
how the findings were reached and who to contact for additional information.
Submissions:
•
•
•

Kitchen Inspection Assignment
Scenario:
Food processing and retail food establishments operate under strict regulations governing
sanitation and food safety procedures. Food processing establishments are inspected for
compliance with food safety regulations by the FDA. Retail food establishments are inspected by
52
local public health agencies. No such inspection is carried out for home kitchens, although a
large proportion of foodborne illness in the U.S. occurs in homes. Inspection of home kitchens
may become a role for dietitians in home healthcare as a component of their work with clients
and caregivers.
In this assignment you will develop a kitchen inspection form that can be used by dietitians as a
data collection tool for documenting observations and recommendations. You will conduct an
inspection of a consumer kitchen using your kitchen inspection form as your data collection tool.
Using the data from the form, you will write a referenced report to your client describing your
observations and recommendations.
Goals:
•
•
•
•
•
To have a focused classroom discussion on HACCP
To develop a kitchen inspection form that incorporates HACCP principles
To conduct an inspection of a consumer kitchen that identifies problems in sanitation and
food handling practices
To write a client-focused report that describes problem areas and provides referenced
recommendations for correcting the identified problems
To reflect on your activities in this assignment to show what you have learned and how
you would improve future efforts
Procedure:
1. Develop a list of inspection criteria. This step will be carried out in class. Before coming
to class on October 23, take the FDA's kitchen safety test and read the accompanying
article (1). Read On the Home Front (2), Home Cookin' (3) and Food Safety in the
Kitchen: A HACCP Approach (4). Also review the food safety consumer objectives from
Healthy People 2010 (5), the FightBAC! campaign (6), and the Home Food Safety: It's in
Your Hands campaign (7). You may also be interested in comparing some of the home
recommendations with the HACCP recommendations for retail establishments (8).
2. Using the inspection criteria developed in class as a guide, construct an appropriate
inspection form. You may work with other students to construct your form.
3. Conduct an inspection of a consumer kitchen, using the kitchen inspection form as a tool
for recording problems and recommendations.
4. Using the data on the kitchen inspection form, write a client-oriented report giving your
recommendations for corrective measures. Reference your recommendations.
5. Review your inspection form and reflect on your observations. How could you improve
your form for another inspection? Were your observations and records limited by your
form? Write your reflections on what you have learned and your recommendations for
improving upon this experience (one page).

Accreditation of Dietetics Education (CADE) program director is the initial advisor. For those
planning to meet Didactic Program in Dietetics requirements to apply to an internship, the
undergraduate program director (DPD director) serves as the advisor. The graduate program
director serves as the advisor for students accepted into the MS degree program with a
concentration in nutrition and the director of the MS Coordinated Program is the advisor for
students accepted into the coordinated program, until they establish their thesis/project/portfolio
committees.
Graduate students select a faculty portfolio advisor or a thesis/master’s project committee
(advisor plus at least two other qualified members) by the time they have completed 12 semester
hours of graduate coursework. This faculty advisor or committee then becomes the student’s
advisor/advisory committee for coursework and curriculum issues in conjunction with the
student’s CADE program director, if applicable. Each student meets with his/her faculty
advisor/committee prior to registering for courses and receives approval before enrolling in
courses each semester.

Graduate
Each student will be assigned to one faculty member for advisement (a list will be furnished at
orientation). The Office of Academic Assistance for the College of Health & Human Sciences
will monitor the student's academic record and completion of all requirements so that the student
may graduate.
By University standards, faculty must be available for appointments with students for a total of 5
hours per week. This means that the time available to each student may become quite restricted.
These limitations are necessary to ensure the faculty has time for their other academic and
administrative responsibilities. You can best assure help by making appointments for
advisement. This will help the professor by allowing them to set aside uninterrupted time for you
187
and for their own work. Faculty will post hours available for advisement. Students will not be
seen without an appointment, except in cases of extreme urgency. Students can request a change
of advisor by contacting the Director. In addition to their advisor, students should feel free to
meet with the ACCE, educational instructors, the Director, and the Dean.
Each student will be assigned an academic advisor for the duration of their enrollment at Georgia
State University. The Academic Advisor will:
• Assist the student in achieving/maintaining appropriate academic standards.
• Assist the student in identifying educational and professional resources.
• Guide, direct, and mentor the student.
• Be available during advisement hours to provide assistance.
• Assist students in becoming active in student organizations, community services, and
professional associations.
• Communicate the student's concerns to the Director and/or faculty as appropriate.
• Advise students about petitions for waivers or unusual circumstances and bring petitions
to faculty meeting for action and reply to the student following the faculty meeting.
The student is encouraged to meet with his or her advisor regularly as well as with any
professors they have in specific courses and also with the Director of the Division, Dr. Leslie
Taylor.

Definition for Graduate Faculty and Criteria for Selection of Graduate Faculty
Revised Policy
Policy for Graduate Faculty Designation
BACKGROUND
The College document for Graduate Faculty Designation follows section 306.07 of the GSU
Handbook (http://www.gsu.edu/%7Ewwwfhb/fhb.html).
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR GRADUATE FACULTY STATUS
A graduate faculty member must:
• Hold an appropriate terminal degree as determined by the college and academic unit,
• Have an appointment at the assistant professor level or higher,
• Demonstrate current scholarly competence, and
• Demonstrate effective graduate teaching.
Current scholarly competence for a graduate faculty member means that he/she is presently an
active, productive scholar and an effective teacher at the graduate level. Activity that suggests
being an active and productive scholar includes several accomplishments during the past five
years from among the following:
• Scholarly books,
• Refereed articles in scholarly journals,
• Chapters in scholarly books,
• Abstracts/presentations in scholarly conference proceedings,
• Research grant applications, and
• Editorships of scholarly journals.
Examples of activity that suggest an effective teacher at the graduate level include:
• Awards for outstanding teaching, which include graduate courses,
• Instructional innovation grant submissions,
• Student evaluations indicating graduate teaching excellence,
• Graduate student accomplishments (professional organization awards, thesis topic
accepted for presentation at professional conference, etc.),
• Guidance of graduate students’ research projects,
• Innovations in course design or delivery,
• Publications in the area of pedagogy, and
• Other activities deemed appropriate by individual academic units.
190
DUTIES OF FULL GRADUATE FACULTY AND PROVISIONAL GRADUATE FACULTY
Full graduate faculty can:
• Teach doctoral courses,
• Teach research oriented masters courses 1 (as identified by the academic unit head),
• Serve as a chair, member, or reader of doctoral dissertation committees, 2
• Direct masters theses.
Provisional graduate faculty can:
• Teach doctoral courses,
• Teach research-oriented masters courses1 (as identified by the academic unit head),
• Serve as a member, or reader of doctoral dissertation committees2,
• Direct masters theses.
PROCESS FOR GRADUATE FACULTY APPLICATION
I. Application
Faculty requesting consideration for graduate faculty status should submit their application to the
chair of the Graduate Faculty Committee during the Fall or Spring semester call for graduate
faculty applications. Application materials vary as follows based on the stage and/or level of
graduate faculty status for which the applicant applies.
A. Initial Application
Faculty applying for graduate faculty status for the first time should provide a full application
packet that includes the following materials:
1. Cover Sheet
2. Current curriculum vitae
3. Three (3) samples of scholarly work (refereed journal articles, books, book chapters,
and invited papers, and grant submissions) published during the past five years. Only
copies of the front material, which includes the publication source, author/s, and
abstract/or introduction of the publication, should be submitted.
4. A list of graduate courses taught over the past five years (including the semester and
year and the course prefix and title)
5. Course evaluations documenting teaching effectiveness in graduate courses over the
past five years
6. A list of graduate committees chaired or served on over the past five years (including
student name, thesis/dissertation title, and indication of position as chair or member
of committee).
1
It is understood that most graduate courses at the master’s level have a research orientation. It would be the
exception if a course did not.
2
An exception can be made in that one member of a doctoral committee who is not a member of the graduate
faculty can be included as part of a doctoral dissertation committee if he/she brings special needed expertise to that
committee.
191
Faculty who have never taught a graduate course or never served on a graduate thesis or
dissertation committee will be considered for provisional graduate faculty status with the
submission of items 1 through 3.
Provisional graduate faculty status will give the faculty member the opportunity to teach
graduate courses and to serve on graduate committees, enhancing their future application for full
graduate faculty status.
Faculty seeking full graduate faculty status at initial application should provide materials
described in items 1 through 6.
B. Application to Full Graduate Faculty Status from Provisional Graduate Faculty Status
An appointment to provisional graduate faculty status is for a term of up to five (5) years and is
not renewable. Faculty with provisional graduate faculty status may apply for full status at any
time within the five-year provisional term. Faculty with provisional graduate faculty status
applying for full graduate faculty status should provide a full application packet that includes the
materials described in items 1 through 6 above (e.g., coversheet, current curriculum vitae, 3
exhibits of recent scholarly work, graduate level courses taught, graduate course evaluations, and
a list of membership/leadership on graduate student committees).
C. Application for Renewal of Full Graduate Faculty Status
An appointment to full graduate faculty status is for a five-year term, which is renewable by reapplication.
Faculty applying for renewal to full graduate faculty status should provide the coversheet and a
current curriculum vita for review. A listing of graduate courses taught, with semesters/years
delineated, as well as a listing of graduate committees served on, delineating semesters/years and
position (i.e., member, chair), should accompany the vitae if this information is not clearly
included within the vitae.
II.
Review, Recommendation, and Notification
The Graduate Faculty Committee will review applicants’ materials during the semester of
submission. A recommendation will be provided to the Dean of the College of Health and
Human Sciences no later than six (6) weeks following the submission deadline. Applicants will
be provided with a copy of this recommendation to the Dean. A rationale for the committees’
decision to not recommend graduate faculty status (either full or provisional) should be provided
in the recommendation letter. College recommendations will be forwarded through the Dean to
the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs for final approval of the graduate faculty
appointment. The Dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences will provide notification
of final appointment to the applicant.

Briefly, this three year fellowship provides support to Post doctoral fellows and trains them in
both research and teaching. Each fellow is guided by a research mentor and a teaching mentor.
According to the guidelines of this fellow ship the teaching has to commence at a local minority
undergraduate school. After a needs assessment, another fellow and I developed a class on
Bioinformatics at Clark Atlanta University, Atlanta. The development of this class involved the
following:
•
Application to the Curriculum Committee at Clark Atlanta University with
supporting documentation for the need to introduce a class in Bioinformatics to
Juniors and Seniors
• Development of Syllabus
• Formal Evaluation of the class
• Teaching the class in the Spring semester of 2003 and 2004

Responsible for teaching the research methodology sequence of courses in the doctor of physical
therapy (DPT) curriculum in addition to teaching exercise physiology and musculoskeletal pathophysiology
to the 1st year DPT students. Also teach advanced masters level courses in muscle, bone, and connective
tissue physiology. As of Fall 2004, responsible for directing the MS in Health Sciences (PT option) program.
Research focus is a continuation of that described below for 1990-1998. More recent research efforts have
focused on how cellular- and molecular-level inflammatory processes modulate the functional recovery
following traumatic and exercise/work-induced skeletal muscle injuries.
1993-1998
Research Scientist
and Assistant Director,
Muscle Biology Laboratory
Texas A&M University
College Station, TX
Supervised daily operations of the laboratory as well as planned and executed the laboratory's longterm research plan. Co-taught a senior-level exercise physiology course for one semester as well as graduatelevel muscle mechanics and histochemistry labs for three years. Supervised two post-doctoral fellows, one
graduate student, one undergraduate student, and one research technician. Research focus was a continuation
of that described below for the years 1990-1992. Directed studies concerned with determining: 1)
muscle:bone mechanical inter-relationships and how specific muscle training and estrogen affect those
relationships, 2) the structural sites of failure associated with the loss of excitation-contraction coupling
resulting from eccentric muscle contractions, 3) the effect of eccentric contractions on localized and whole
fiber free cytosolic calcium concentrations while at rest and during tetanic contractions, 4) the effect of
protein metabolism on muscle function following the initiation of eccentric contraction-induced injury and
the relationship of phagocytic cells to the protein metabolism, 5) the effect of injurious eccentric contractions
on muscle basal metabolic rate and contractile energetic costs and how mitochondria respond to the insult,
and 6) the neural contribution to the adaptation that occurs following a bout of injurious eccentric
contractions.
1992-1993
Assistant Director
Athens, Georgia
Taught two doctoral-level courses in exercise biochemistry and muscle physiology. Supervised daily
operations of the laboratory as well as planned and executed the laboratory's long-term research plan.
Research focus was a continuation of that described below for the years 1990-1992. Directed studies
concerned with: 1) determining the influence of fiber type and chronic activity on a muscle’s susceptibility to
eccentric contraction-induced injury and 2) the effect of contractile activity on plasmalemma and T-tubular
membranes as determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy.
502
1990-1992
Post-Doctoral Research Associate
Athens, Georgia
Directed studies investigating work/exercise-induced muscle fiber injury; these studies focused on the
initiating event(s) and the early degenerative processes. Emphasis was placed on the contribution of
mechanical factors and the calcium-mediated processes. Specific aims included: 1) to test the hypothesis that
muscle fiber injury occurs in skeletal muscles as a function of the specific tension imposed on the fibers; 2)
to test the hypothesis that these high mechanical forces cause disruption of the normal permeability barrier
provided by the sarcolemma; 3) to test the hypothesis that an elevation in intracellular calcium concentration
resulting from the disruption to sarcolemma is a critical step in the exercise-induced muscle fiber pathology;
and 4) to test the hypothesis that activation of the phospholipase A2 pathway in the muscle fibers by elevated
intracellular calcium, with associated production of arachidonic acid and its metabolites, plays a central role
in the etiology of work/exercise-induced muscle fiber injury.
1987-1989

SCHOOL OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS REVIEW
LIBRARY RESOURCES
Summary: Strengths and Weaknesses of the University Library Collection and Services
Currently, the University Library’s health professions holdings adequately support the research
areas of the faculty and undergraduate/graduate/doctoral degree candidates in the three health
professions divisions: Nutrition, Physical Therapy, and Respiratory Therapy. Collection
development for related departments, including Kinesiology and Health Education, Nursing, and
Public Health, also supports the health professions collection. Notable strengths in the health
professions monographs collection include physiology, internal medicine, therapeutics, diet
therapy, and sports medicine. Some possible gaps in the monograph collection include
physiological aspects of nutrition-related processes such as appetite and thirst, pediatric
respiratory care, and general respiratory therapy. However, very few monographs were published
in these areas during the previous fiscal year, which may explain why no books were purchased
in these call number ranges during the review period. The librarian for the School of Health
Professions has noted this weakness and will make a concerted effort to add appropriate books in
these areas, as they become available.
In addition to monographs, the University Library has a strong collection of electronic databases
and journals to support the needs of Health Professions faculty and students. The electronic
databases used by the department are made available via GSU Library subscription and
GALILEO, a state-wide initiative to provide access to electronic resources. The University
Library provides access to the major databases in the field (see chart below showing electronic
resources accessible to GSU students and faculty via the University Library website).
Journals are available in both print and online formats, with increasing emphasis on electronic
access as many databases increase their full-text content. Only one (1) journal was canceled
during the last three fiscal years while three (3) electronic journals were added. Several titles in
nutrition and physical therapy ceased publication, but overall, the library continues to maintain
its solid health professions journal collection. One title that has been requested in electronic
format by physical therapy faculty is Spine (ISSN 0362-2436). The Library was unable to
purchase this title at the time it was requested due to budget constraints and timing issues.
However, if funding becomes available the Library will make an effort to add this electronic
journal to the collection.
In terms of library service to the department in the form of instruction and individual
consultations, there is moderate usage of services provided by the librarian for the School of
Health Professions. Nutrition Division students and faculty have especially taken advantage of
these library services. This year, the librarian established regular office hours within the School,
and, as a result, the number of research consultations among health professions students and
faculty has increased. With continued outreach to each Division, usage of these services should
continue to increase.
