Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Health Science 351 personnel. Critical analysis of the different methods of teaching and training health care professionals is accomplished through discussion, research, investigation, journal development, and assignments. (4 credits) DHS 8195—Academic Health Program Development This course explores the major steps to be undertaken when considering the development of new academic health programs at a college or university. Special emphasis is given to the needs assessment and how to conduct the needs assessment. Budget will be discussed and developed; the course will highlight the development of faculty and the specific qualifications of faculty needed for a particular program specialty. Emphasis will be placed on the resources needed and resources available in the targeted community. Through the completion of various projects, the student will be expected to demonstrate mastery of the subject matter via application of the material and information presented in the assigned readings, participation in the discussion board, and participation in the course activities. (4 credits) DHS 8196—Theories and Principles for Health Care Educators This course explores some of the major learning theories that are utilized in health professions programs with emphasis on adult learning theory. The use of Bloom’s Taxonomy in creating curriculum is explored. Students will be exposed to various methods of delivering material to be learned in their respective health discipline. The knowledge gained in this course will enhance the seasoned instructor and give invaluable insight and guidance to those transitioning from clinical practice to education in the health professions. (4 credits) DHS 8197—Traditional and Competency-Based Curriculum and Implementation The course will expose students to the traditional tenets of curriculum development and the facets of curriculum development of the aspects of competency-based instruction. Students will gain knowledge in the area of instructional implementation in the education of health care professionals. Subject matter will include, but not be limited to, student assessment, utilization of technology in education, course development, writing test questions that accurately assess learning outcomes, incorporating simulation methods, and problem-based learning. (4 credits) DHS 8199—Interprofessional Health Care The changing landscape of health care delivery systems will continue to be more challenging as patient care becomes more complex. The health care team involves multiple disciplines, whose providers form the health care team along with the patient and caregivers. Health care providers must be able to transition into clinical practice settings prepared to participate in relationship-centered interprofessional and intra-discipline teams. This course prepares the learner to gain experience in applying strategies that promote a collaborative-practice style that has the ultimate goal to improve the quality of an integrated and comprehensive, medical and oral, patientcare delivery system. Using a competency-learning approach to coursework, the student will acquire the skills of patientcentered care that is relationship focused, process oriented, and applicable across professions and practice settings. Students will develop a comprehensive health care plan that includes oral health considerations for a patient case study. (4 credits) DHS 8200—Independent Study A This course is supervised by a faculty member and is a selfdirected experience for the student. The student will be required to develop a proposal regarding the topic of study, a learning contract with specific objectives, and a plan of action to include methods of obtaining the information and the material produced to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the subject areas. A faculty member will be assigned to the student for the supervised study and will follow the approved learning contract for successful completion of the course. The purpose of this course is to allow the student to explore an area of interest in the field of health care or health sciences. The secondary benefit of the course is to allow the student, with the assistance of the faculty, to develop and complete a doctoral-level course of study. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to develop a proposal regarding a particular area of health sciences sufficient for doctoral level of study, develop a learning contract and self-directed course of study at the doctoral level, develop curriculum components for an educational program using self-directed study, describe information research during the completion of the objectives, and describe the methods of developing and successfully completing a self-directed course. (1–4 credits) DHS 8250—Independent Study B This course is supervised by a faculty member and is a selfdirected experience for the student. The student will be required to develop a proposal regarding the topic of study, a learning contract with specific objectives, and a plan of action to include methods of obtaining the information and the material produced to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the subject areas.
