School of Health and Rehabilitation SciencesPRAC Annual Report 2011-2012Part 2: Graduate Professional ProgramsIUPUI recently adopted the principles of graduate learning which are listed below for both graduate and professional programs. Each of thesegoals is highly correlated to existing program goals for all disciplines within the School. Consequently, each of the goals below is numbered andlinked to existing goals within each assessment data table. Goal association is marked as PGL (Principles of graduate learning) and then thecorresponding number.Principles of Graduate and Professional LearningGraduate students earning an Indiana University or Purdue University Ph.D. on the IUPUI campus will demonstrate the followingabilities related to the research focus of the degree:1. Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and conduct original research, scholarship or other creative endeavorsappropriate to the field2. Communicate effectively high level information from their field of study3. Think critically and creatively to solve problems in their field of study4. Conduct research in an ethical and responsible mannerGraduate students in professional graduate programs on the IUPUI campus will demonstrate the following abilities:1. Demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed to meet disciplinary standards of performance, as stated for each individual degree2. Communicate effectively with their peers, their clientele, and the general public3. Think critically and creatively to improve practice in their field4. Meet all ethical standards established for the discipline7

Program improvements to be implemented in 2012 to enhance student learning1.2.3.4.Based on the 2011-12 year, we decided to make the following changes in the Dietetic Internship Program.We are eliminating mandated pretesting for the internship supervised practice component and will provide the pretests as a self-evaluation tool onOncourse.We are developing a facebook page for internship preceptors to provide them with additional resources and opportunities for continuing education.We are replacing an outpatient clinical experience with the equivalent of a two week supervised practice community nutrition education rotation at the9
School of Health and Rehabilitation SciencesPRAC Annual Report 2011-20125.Indiana State Fair.We will be emphasizing nutrition components of gut physiology in the August-September time frame for courses and then transitioning into researchmethods-critical reading components in late October as this scheduling utilized in 2010 provides a better progression in dietetic intern learning ratherthan emphasizing critical reading first and then moving into medical nutrition therapy.Dietetic and Nutrition Report SummaryThe learning objectives represent a portion of the expected outcomes for the program based upon accreditation standards. Studentshave demonstrated an ability to achieve these student learning outcomes routinely. Although student performance has been successful,the faculty appreciate the need to continue to advance their educational approach. Therefore, the faculty will be making specificeducational changes that will attempt to impact student learning. Follow up data from these changes will be evaluated and reportednext year.10
School of Health and Rehabilitation SciencesPRAC Annual Report 2011-2012Department of Occupational TherapyMission: The mission of the Indiana University (IU) Department of Occupational Therapy (OT) is to provide a nationally recognized entry-level graduateprofessional program and advanced graduate education. Faculty and student scholarship increases opportunities for meaningful participation in individual, familyand community life. Through collaboration with colleagues across IUPUI and the professional community, we explore initiatives and disseminate knowledge andapproaches to improve overall health and quality of life for all persons. To this end, we embrace interdisciplinary and translational research as it relates to health,social participation, and rehabilitation sciences.1.Department of Occupational Therapy Student Educational GoalsIU OT graduates will reflect the values of the AOTA Centennial Vision by being science driven, occupation-focused, evidence-based, professionals who assistindividuals in meeting their occupational needs promoting participation at several levels.
