Assessment results: What have the data told us? Met all but 1 benchmark. Meeting departmental SLO assessed. Our benchmark for clinical was too high – 100% had not left for any student to be unsuccessful in clinical, and no matter how much support a student had from faculty – they may not be successful in clinical. Revised benchmarks

Data-driven decisions: How the department has or plans to “close the loop” based on these results. Will continue with remediation efforts for students Benchmark related to clinical outcomes changed from 100% to 95% Continue with reviews

What resources were used or have been requested to close the loop? No additional resources have been used or requested.
