         Student Learning Outcome 1.1
         Analysis: The results of the 1.1 SLO is showing that our students have strong communication skills. 17 out of 21 students
         in the class received an “above average” or “excellent” rating on their Clinical Preceptor Evaluation regarding patient
         communication for Clinic II. 3 students received a rating of “average” and one student received a rating of “below
         average.” The goal was 4.0 and the class as a whole scored an average of 3.95. This is the student’s second semester of
         being in clinic, and the student’s ability to communicate is expected to continually increase as they progress through the
         program. In semester IV, students get the opportunity to work in small groups made up of radiation therapy, nursing, and
