while the second-year students are being assessed in the clinical setting by many different therapists. Data will continue
to be evaluated. A future potential action plan may be to have the clinical preceptors evaluate the second-year students to
obtain more consistent inter-rater reliability. This will be analyzed again next year with feedback from the clinical
preceptors.
Goal I, SLO 2: The results for the second-year students for 2021 did not meet the benchmark of 90, but was close with
an average of 88, and overall has shown an increase since 2017. These are very positive since the action plans were
implemented in 2016. It may be time for a new benchmark, this will be considered for the Fall 2023 cohort with the new
incoming students and will continue to be evaluated.

Action Plan based on Analysis: Increase the benchmark for Goal I, SLO 2 for the first-year students to 8.5 from
8.0.
Re-evaluation Date: Fall 2022 at the next assessment committee meeting.

Results/Improvement(s) noted based on the action plans that were implemented: It was reiterated that in 2016, a
new process for evaluating students was implemented. Supervising therapists and clinical preceptors attend a workshop
where simulated competencies and evaluations take place. Discussion occurs so evaluators are grading consistently and
providing constructive feedback to the students immediately. Additionally, students were required to complete more
simulations in the laboratory setting prior to attempting in the clinical setting. They are also required to have a minimum
of three completions of an exam before performing a competency examination. This is reinforced by the department
managers who stated the new graduates are excellent radiation therapists with great clinical skills.
