Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
1.) Students need only one Terminology course that incorporates the previous information from the
two courses.
2.) The Medical Administrative Procedures course was recently removed from the scope and
sequence in Medical Assisting. New Faculty is saying that it is a benefit to students and is
requesting that it be returned to the program.
3.) The Board of Regents has made the Transfer Initiative a priority for Montana Students and
Medical Assisting was one of several Health Professions Programs that has been approved to
date.
What other programs are affected by your proposal?
None
