2009-12-02 Agenda Tab A December 2, 2009 MEMORANDUM TO: State Board of Regents FROM: William A. Sederburg SUBJECT: Weber State UniversityBMaster of Science in Radiologic SciencesBAction Item. Issue Weber State University (WSU) requests approval to offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences, effective Fall Semester 2010. This program was approved by the WSU Board of Trustees in August of 2009, and approved by the Regents’ Program Review Committee on November 18, 2009. Background The WSU Department of Radiologic Sciences proposes to offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) program. The proposed degree will serve students with a bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences who wish to pursue careers in advanced radiologic science clinical practice. The MSRS program will allow students to pursue research and gain additional skills and knowledge. The degree will also credential an individual as an advanced practice radiologic science professional. Historically, the profession of radiologic technology has offered its practitioners few career advancement opportunities. Skilled technologists who want to shift into the educational and research arena or advanced clinical practice have few options, especially in Utah. Most other allied health professions, by contrast, have formal career pathways in the clinical environment. By following these pathways, practitioners move to increasingly higher levels of responsibility, authority and autonomy. The MSRS will meet the demand within the state of Utah for master-level researchers and advanced practice professionals in radiologic sciences. Strong demand for employment in these fields and the availability of a well-prepared student population will produce a strong demand for this degree program. In 1996, the Radiologic Sciences Department at WSU created the first bachelor-level physician extender program in medical imaging in the country. In the most recent year, the department of Radiologic Science awarded 128 bachelor degrees, and over the past decades, the department has produced over a thousand graduates. The Radiologic Sciences Department is one of the fastest growing programs at Weber State University. The department’s production of undergraduates creates a significant demand for a graduate degree. Policy Issues Other Utah System of Higher Education institutions have reviewed this proposal, have given input, and are supportive of Weber State University offering this degree. Commissioner’s Recommendation The Commissioner recommends that the Regents approve the Request to Offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences, effective Fall Semester, 2010. William A. Sederburg, Commissioner WAS/GW Attachment Academic, Career and Technical Education and Student Success Committee Action Item Request to Offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences Weber State University Prepared for William A. Sederburg By Gary Wixom December 2, 2009 SECTION I: The Request Weber State University requests approval to offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) degree, beginning Fall Semester 2010. This program was approved by the WSU Board of Trustees on - August 2009. The Regent’s Program Review Committee approved the program for consideration on November 18, 2009. SECTION II: Program Description Complete Program Description The WSU Department of Radiologic Sciences proposes to offer a Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences (MSRS) program for students with a bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences who wish to pursue careers in advanced radiologic science clinical practice. PROGRAM OUTLINE Hours required for graduation: 36 credit hours All of the courses in the MSRS program are required. Students must complete 36 hours that will prepare them to develop and carry out research, as well as instruct them in the art of advanced clinical competencies. The degree allows for future growth with the addition of similar research emphasis areas in specific imaging professions such as diagnostic medical sonography, nuclear medicine and others. RADT/MSN 6100 Research Methods (3) RADT/MSN 6120 Research and Statistics (3) MHA 6200 Health Behavior and Managerial Epidemiology (3) MHA 6450 Managing Health Information (3) RADT 6130 Functional Hemodynamics (3) RADT 6140 Clinical Laboratory Correlation (3) RADT 6443 Clinical Pathways (3) RADT 6463 Problem Patient Management (3) RADT 6473 Non-Vascular-Invasive Imaging Procedures (3) RADT 6863 Vascular-Invasive Imaging Procedures (3) RADT 6900 Capstone: Clinical Fellowship and Portfolio (3) RADT 6999 Master’s Thesis in Radiologic Sciences (3) The degree candidate must complete 3 hours of thesis work RADT 6999 Master’s Thesis in Radiologic Sciences (3). The master’s thesis will be a complete body of work, either accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in the field or deemed publishable by the student’s committee. The maximum time for completion of the degree, including thesis, will be three years; if the maximum time is exceeded, the student must petition to the program for an extension. 2 Purpose of Degree Historically, the profession of radiologic sciences has offered its practitioners few career advancement opportunities. Skilled technologists who want to shift into the educational and research arena, or advanced clinical practice have few options, especially in Utah. Most other allied health professions, by contrast, have formal career pathways in the clinical environment. By following these pathways, practitioners move to increasingly higher levels of responsibility, authority and autonomy. As the radiologic technology profession attempts to recruit and retain larger numbers of people, the lack of a clinical career path has become an obstacle. Many potential recruits may be deterred from pursuing the profession because they believe a career in radiologic technology leads nowhere. To overcome this perception, radiologic technology must develop realistic career pathways both at the institutional level and within the profession. Advancement within a professional hierarchy tends to be more formalized than advancement up an institutional career ladder. At the professional level, an advancement hierarchy typically is linked to additional education and additional certification or credentialing. Although experience and skill remain important, it usually is necessary for the employee to achieve a certain level of education or earn a specified credential before advancing to the new position. Institutional Readiness The proposed Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences will not affect the administrative structure of the department. The department is based on a career ladder concept. In 2008 the department graduated 157 Associate of Applied Science and 128 Bachelor of Science students. The proposed master’s degree would become a new part of this career ladder and be overseen by the department chair. The institution is well positioned to implement this proposed degree. Faculty and Staff Robert Walker, PhD, Professor and Department Chair Radiologic Sciences Lloyd Burton, DM, Professor and Department Chair Health Service Administrative Valerie Gooder, PhD RN, Assistant Professor and Director Master of Nursing Ken Johnson, PhD, Associate Dean and Professor Health Administrative Services Diane Kawamura, PhD, Professor Radiologic Sciences Carol Naylor, DMD, Associate Professor Health Sciences Kathleen Sitzman, PhD RN, Associate Professor Nursing Pat Shaw, Med, Associate Professor Health Information Technology Yasmen Simonian, PhD, Dean and Professor Clinical Laboratory Sciences Paul Eberle, PhD, Professor and Department Chair Respiratory Therapy Library and Information Resources The Stewart Library provides a broad range of information resources and services in support of WSU’s mission and goals. Library services are provided at the Stewart Library at WSU Ogden and at the WSU Davis Library/Information Commons. Collections include print, electronic, and audio-visual resources as well as access to an increasingly large number of electronic databases, full-text journals, and books. Day, evening, and weekend hours are maintained to accommodate patron needs at both campuses. The Stewart Library is open 105 hours per 3 week; the WSU Davis library is open 75 hours per week. Off-campus access to resources and services is available 24/7 through the library’s website: library.weber.edu. To ensure that the library’s online and on-site resources are relevant to curricular needs, a librarian is assigned to each college. These subject librarians collaborate with faculty in developing the collection and consult regularly with them to assess their library needs. In addition to their collection management and faculty liaison responsibilities, subject librarians provide course-integrated instruction to inform students and faculty of library resources and services available in their areas of interest. The library’s resources and services are well used. During 2006-07, visitors to the library’s website numbered more than 2,200,000; circulation transactions totaled nearly 132,000; more than 13,500 patrons received reference/research assistance; and information literacy instruction was provided for nearly 5,400 students. Admissions Requirements: Advanced Radiologic Science Clinical Practice Emphasis Admission to the program requires a bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences and certification as a Radiologist Assistant (RA) and/or Radiology Practitioner Assistant (RPA) or certification in vascular imaging. Criteria to be considered for acceptance into the program include: • Undergraduate

    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.

    Finding Aid for the Daily Utah Chronicle; prepared by Christian Gomez Issue Date: February 9, 1961 Volume: 70 Number: 80 Page: 1 Articles: “Senate Will Hold ‘Evaluation’ Poll”: The Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) Senate announced a motion that declared the Senate would conduct research for the evaluation of ASUU activities. The ASUU also passed a bill abolishing trading stamps, mainly because the additional costs and higher prices didn’t reflect the benefits that should typically come from redemption. Students at the University of Utah represented a considerable purchasing group in the state, and that played a role in the decision to eliminate trading stamps altogether. The senate also named Gamal Arafa, ex officio member of the ASUU Senate, as a voting member and representative of the foreign students on campus. Photo of Senators Linda LeCheminant, Lee Case, and Bill Casaday included. “Doctor Talks on Dead Sea Scrolls”: Dr. Jacob Geerlings will be hosting a lecture at 8 p.m. in the Union Little Theater.
