Audience: Budget, Deans, CEMC, PRBC
Purpose: To recommend changes in FTEF allocations for subsequent academic year and guide Deans and CEMC in the allocation of FTEF to units.
Instructions: In the area below, please list your requested changes in course offerings (with reference to corresponding change in FTEF) and provide your
rationale for these changes. Be sure to analyze enrollment trends and other relevant data (http://help/EMC/). Please seek your dean’s assistance as needed.
The Dental Hygiene Program is requesting an increase in CAH from .75 to .8 for our first semester radiology labs. This increase in CAH will increase
the load for one of our full-time instructors.
Our accrediting agency requires a complex set of didactic and pre-clinical lab CLO’s that involve a large amount of Faculty time to administer and grade.
The CLO’s developed for the pre-clinical lab require that the instructor spend time monitoring each individual as they complete the competencies require to
meet the CLO’s.
In our radiology labs, the pre-Clinical Requirements consist of 3 full mouth series with of 20 films each. It takes a minimum of 30 minutes to grade each set
for 20 students (total of 60 full mouth series which take a total of 30 hours to grade). In addition, there are 6 timed, supervised proficiency exercises that take
15 minutes each to grade for a total of 30 hours. In summary, over 60 hours of grading outside of the lab time is required in addition to prep time. The total
number of hours for grading currently is 15 hours/lab.
It has become increasingly difficult for the lead instructor in radiology to meet the demands of our accrediting agency as they pertain to assessing and grading
student competency. Therefore, an increase of CAH for the pre-clinical lab is necessary to meet the requirements for accreditation.

Program Review — Proposal for New Initiatives
Discipline: Dental Hygiene
Division or Area to Which You Report: Health, Physical Sciences and Athletics
Name of Person Completing this Form: JoAnn Galliano MEd., RDH
Date: 1-26-11
Audience: Deans/Unit Administrators, PRBC, Foundation, Grants Committee, College Budget Committee
Purpose: A “New Initiative” is a new project or expansion of a current project that supports college goals. The project will require the support of additional
and/or outside funding. The information you provide will facilitate and focus the research and development process for finding outside funding.
Instructions: Please fill in the following information.
Educational Master Plan and/or Strategic Plan Goal/Objective Addressed:
The dental hygiene program will be undertaking four new initiatives this program review cycle. The first initiative will be to supplement existing
equipment in the radiology segment of the dental hygiene program with digital radiology. The second initiative is to implement a computerized
tracking system for our clinical CLO’s. The third and fourth initiatives are ongoing and were part of the previous program review initiatives. These
two initiatives were stalled in the previous program review cycle due to the need to update the clinical facilities. With completion of the new clinical
facility, the program will be working to meet the goals set in these two initiatives.
First, the dental hygiene program is requesting the funds needed to supplement existing technology currently being used in our radiography
courses with new digital technology. The Educational Master Plan highlights the dental hygiene program supporting the need for programs like
the dental hygiene program that have high student success rates and that graduate students that are employable upon graduation and successful
completion of their clinical board exams.
In order to maintain the level of success that we have had in the past with graduating dental hygienists that have the skills to meet the needs of
employers, we need to purchase the equipment needed to provide the students with the education and training in the area of digital radiography.
Without knowledge of digital radiology which is becoming the standard of care for most dental offices, the graduates from our program with have
distinct disadvantage when compared with the other dental hygiene programs in the state that have the equipment and technology to teach digital
radiology.
Training the students with digital radiographic imaging would enable students to integrate the information and knowledge in the dental office.
Since the college serves as an educational leader and recognizes that learning is a lifelong journey, we need to provide this opportunity to ensure
student success, student marketability in the current job market, and so members of the community can benefit. With the rapidly changing
technology and advancements in dental radiography, we need to adapt to the evolving techniques and new innovations. Skills in digital
radiographic imaging have become a “general workforce skill” in dentistry and will be in demand by private practice dentist employers. According
to the “Master Plan 2005-2015, dental hygiene is listed as one of the industries with the “high growth projected between 2002-2013.”
In addition to the need for access to training in the area of digital radiology for our students, the program directly serves the community supporting
the Strategic Plans Goals to engage the community. Digital radiology has become the safest and most economical way to provide radiographic
images for our patients. These patients are members of the community that lack access to traditional dental offices due to lack of insurance or
lack of moneys needed to pay for dental hygiene care.
2
The second initiative deals with the need to be able to better track the CLO’s for the clinical component of the program. Our accrediting agency’s
requirement for program to be able to demonstrate how CLO’s are measured, tacked and evaluated has led the program to investigate
computerized tracking systems. As was stated above, the program indentified a system that we felt would enhance our ability to successfully
monitor students completion of CLO’s. A request for funding is predicated on the ability of the program to obtain ITS support. Unfortunately, the
program has not been able to get the college ITS department to lend assistance to make the changes that are needed to utilize the system.
The remaining two initiates will directly meet Goals A and C of the Strategic Plan. By expanding the scope of programs that will be offered in the
clinical facility, the program will not only build awareness of Chabot’s academic excellence, but it will provide a new avenue for ensuring access to
education for all who seek it (2009-12 Strategic Plan Goal A). Also, these new initiatives support Goal C-“Work with local business and industry to
support the goals of Chabot students.” The program will be networking with dental hygienists and dentists the community to enhance the level of
care that patients will receive in the community and in our clinical facilities.
Project Description:
First, we are requesting a digital panoramic system which has the best image quality and can be upgraded to 3D Cone Beam in the future. There
are 9 anatomical programs; Standard, Hemi-Panoramic, Frontal Dentition, Sinus, TMJ Open and Closed, Incisor Clear, Orthogonal, Clear and
Maxillary Clear.
We are also requesting 9 SuniRay Sensors (size 1 and 2), Prof Suni Master Software with 1 master server license and 6 workstation licenses.
This includes free lifetime technical support and software updates. The size 2 sensor is the standard size of dental x-ray film for the adult dentition
and the size 1 sensor is used for the anterior teeth and or pedodontic patients. Funds are also needed to purchase nine computers for the
operatories and the viewing station for the students.
Second, we are requesting funds to purchase the software for a computerized tracking system for our clinical CLO’s. This software will assist the
program and the students to better monitor and evaluate student success. Utilizing this tracking system, the program will be able to better
evaluate the effectiveness of the CLO”s in meeting the CLO’s established.
Third, will be to establish a continued competency segment to our program offerings. The program will be developing coursework for graduate
dental hygienists who need to take additional clinical coursework to enhance the skills that they have already learned. This initiative directly
serves the community in that it will provide much needed clinical courses for dental hygienists that have been in practice and need to update
clinical skills.
Fourth, will be to expand the scope of the services that the dental hygiene clinic will offer to the community. The program, though partnerships
with public health, will be investigating avenues of funding that will support a dental component. The goal will be to expand our services from
being only dental hygiene services to providing dental services as well.

Equipment Requests [Acct. Category 6000]
Please note: Equipment requests are for equipment whose unit cost is over $200
Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Digital Radiography
Building/Location: 2200
Request Amount (include tax and shipping): $102,000
Description of the specific equipment or materials requested:
We are requesting a digital panoramic system which has the best image quality and can be upgraded to 3D Cone Beam in the
future. There are 9 anatomical programs; Standard, Hemi-Panoramic, Frontal Dentition, Sinus, TMJ Open and Closed, Incisor
Clear, Orthogonal, Clear and Maxillary Clear.
We are also requesting 9 SuniRay Sensors (size 1 and 2), Prof Suni Master Software with 1 master server license and 6
workstation licenses. This includes free lifetime technical support and software updates. The size 2 sensor is the standard size
of dental x-ray film for the adult dentition and the size 1 sensor is used for the anterior teeth and or pedodontic patients. This also
includes 9 desktop computers needed for the operatories and viewing station.
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
7
This equipment would support the dental radiology department within the dental hygiene program at Chabot College. The digital
radiography by Suni will reduce radiation exposure to patients and increase diagnostic quality for interpretation by the dental
hygiene students.
Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Educational Master Plan and the Strategic Plan Goals and support the goals and
outcomes detailed in your Unit Action Plan (Part II, Section 2)?
The Educational Master Plan states one of the suggestions for improvement was to “form partnerships in order to best train and
match employers and employees.” Training the students with digital radiographic imaging would enable students to integrate the
information and knowledge in the dental office. Since the college serves as an educational leader and recognizes that learning is a
lifelong journey, we need to provide this opportunity to ensure student success, student marketability in the current job market, and so
members of the community can benefit. With the rapidly changing technology and advancements in dental radiography, we need to
adapt to the evolving techniques and new innovations. Skills in digital radiographic imaging has become a “general workforce skill” in
dentistry and will be in demand by private practice dentist employers. According to the “Master Plan 2005-2015, dental hygiene is
listed as one of the industries with the “high growth projected between 2002-2013.”
Why is this equipment necessary?
X Immediate health, safety, or security issues
Increases enrollment
Prevents further deterioration of facilities
Replaces deteriorated equipment or facilities
X Shows cost advantage due to rising prices
Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
Implementing a digital radiography system would decrease the amount of radiation exposure per patient by 80-90%. Use of digital
radiographs not only benefit the patient, but also the environment. A digital radiographic system, for example, would minimize lead
foil, fixer solution, and developing solution. Digital images rendered through computer software have the advantage of preventing
further deterioration of the x-ray processors which are costly to maintain, operate and purchase. Furthermore, there is a long term
8
cost advantage by adopting digital radiographs. One of the most obvious examples is the costly purchase of films as well as solutions
would be very minimal or eliminated. Digital radiography would thus benefit the students, community and the environment.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
Not funding the equipment would directly impact the student success in the dental hygiene program. With the advancing technologies
in dentistry, it is most crucial to prepare our students for the job market. With most private practices converting to digital radiography,
it is imperative that our students be prepared, trained, and marketable in the latest and current digital radiographic technologies.
These are the students of the future and these are the students that will be looked upon for the most current and up to date
technology in the field. By not funding digital x-rays, the students in the dental hygiene program at Chabot College would not be as
marketable as other candidates competing for the same job position. The students would not have had the experience in working
with the current technology in private practices.
What alternative approaches have been considered to meet programmatic demands for this equipment?
Alternative approaches that have been considered and implemented is through lecture and discussion of digital x-rays. In the field of
radiography, student success is in part due to continual practice and actual “live” experience. Radiology is very visual and hands on.
Lecture and discussion alone will not be sufficient for student learning, comprehension, and familiarity in digital radiographic imaging.

Description of the specific equipment or materials requested:
We are requesting 4 DxttrIII Dental X-Ray Trainers (3 plastic (#546001), 1 human (#546002)) which is the most realistic substitute
patient available. The DxttrIII is a standard plastic skull made of special plastic that emulates the radiographic characteristics of
natural materials. The DxttrIII has realistic teeth, gums, skin and tongue which provide students with a realistic experience in
exposing dental radiographs. The human skull DXTTRs are ideal for radiographic interpretation and filled with tissue-equivalent
material for appropriate absorption.
What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
This equipment would support the dental radiology department within the dental hygiene program at Chabot College. The
DXTTRIII will allow unlimited, consistent instruction of all types of intraoral photography, eliminating the concern for patient
overexposure. This dental x-ray trainer is ideal for teaching positioning and radiographic interpretation.

Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
Training students with the DXTTRIII Dental X-Ray Trainer is ideal for teaching positioning and radiographic interpretation. “High
repeatability makes possible series of radiographs, varying exposure factors to demonstrate how they influence results. Comparisons
can be made of various film placements and projections.” The dental trainer would eliminate the amount of radiation exposure on a
clinical patient. The DXTTRIII offers the most realistic patient experience without concern for overexposure.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
Not funding the equipment would directly impact the student success in the dental hygiene program. With the current employment
outlook in dentistry, it is most crucial to prepare our students for the job market. Employers are seeking dental hygienists with
proficient radiographic skills, in addition to clinical skills. It is imperative that our students be prepared, trained, and marketable.
