ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 2 Two years ago, Suffolk County Community College was informed that there was a need in the health care community for hospital-based education programs in the field of Radiologic Technology. Radiologic technology education has evolved. In order to comply with new standards in this field, it will become mandatory in 2010 for programs previously conferring only a certificate to provide students with an associate’s degree. In cooperation with local hospitals we are proposing a symbiotic relationship, in which case Suffolk County Community College will gain students majoring in science, while they are fulfilling part of their requirements for a career in radiologic technology. The four hospitals requesting to participate in this alliance are: Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola Mercy Medical Center, Rockville Centre Peconic Bay Medical Center, Riverhead South Nassau Communities Hospital, Oceanside It is proposed that SCCC and the four hospitals will construct an agreement to do the following: 1. Develop a curriculum with a total of 71.5-72.5 credits for an associate in science degree with an emphasis on Radiation Science. 2. Assign 29 credits (upon completion) to the existing hospital-based radiologic technology program. 3. Use the National Joint Committee for Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) accreditation held by each hospital as a means to assure continuity among the four hospital-based programs and to validate that each is providing education that is valid for the 29 credits. 4. Affirm that in order for the hospital-based programs to collaborate with Suffolk County Community College, it is required that each program maintain their individual accredited status from JRCERT. 5. Designate 42.5-43.5 course work credits to be taken at SCCC (such that graduates will be well prepared to enter a 4-year educational program in the future, as they are with other majors) 6. Assign a Hegis code to the curriculum. 7. Publish the curriculum on the college website and in the college catalog. It is proposed that this curriculum be approved in accordance with the appropriate college procedures for developing a new program, proposed to the proper New York State educational authorities, and be made available to our students by Fall 2010. It is proposed that students enrolling in this program have access to all of the benefits of matriculating at SCCC, including financial aid, Academic Center for Excellence, library, and counseling. It should be noted that a number of students attending these four existing hospital programs have attended or are currently attending SCCC for their prerequisites. It is proposed that the hospital-based programs will continue to charge tuition for their students as they have in the past and pay their own faculty and costs from the hospital-based portion of the program from that tuition. Students will pay SCCC tuition for liberal arts courses. Students' academic records will be maintained through the SCCC registrar. Hospitals will provide official communication to SCCC registrar regarding students' completion of the 29 credits of radiologic technology education completed at the hospitals required for graduation. It is affirmed that curricula, faculty, and all aspects of the program meet JRCERT's strict standards. Likewise, JRCERT's uniform requirements for academic standards provide a means for the college to confirm that each hospital program is providing an education that merits the 29 credits assigned to the radiologic technology portion of the program. It has been ascertained that there is an existing need for radiologic technologists in the Long Island medical community; therefore, there is a valid need for this program at SCCC. The mission and vision of ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 3 the college are fulfilled by promoting this unique educational opportunity, which supports higher educational standards on Long Island and transforms lives of our local communities. The college will be serving the needs of Suffolk County residents by augmenting existing education opportunities. The college will also continue providing quality education to radiologic technologists in an official manner by giving them a strong liberal arts foundation that grants an associate’s degree and can lead to the pursuit of a baccalaureate degree in the future.

CATALOG DESCRIPTION/PROGRAM SUMMARY Provide catalog description of curriculum. Explain its relationship to the mission of the College. Winthrop University Hospital, S. Nassau Communities Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, and Peconic Bay Medical Center currently offer a certificate in Radiologic Technology. When these programs join with Suffolk County Community College, graduates will earn an A.S. in Radiation Science. This cooperative program offers the advantage of a hospital-based radiation science program, as well as academic courses for college credit. The college credits granted for the Radiation Science Program allow the student to graduate with an A.S. in Radiation Science and to practice as a radiographer or a radiologic technologist. The program includes the classroom and clinical experience specific to the field of radiologic technology, radiography or radiation science. The Radiation Science component begins after the student has completed the prerequisites to gain admission into the program. The hospital-based portion of the program lasts 24 months. Each hospital program has a long history of providing quality education with a favorable student-teacher ratio, acquisition of clinical competencies, and access to state-of-the art equipment. All four hospital programs have been accredited for many years by the Joint Review Committee for Education in Radiologic Technology. This program promotes further intellectual discovery and economic opportunities through education for individuals on Long Island. In working as partners with area hospitals we assist in maintaining an adequate work force and promote the maintenance of a vital health care profession (needed by our local hospitals and health providers). This is in direct relationship to our college mission and vision of providing education and opportunities for empowerment that transform lives and address Long Island needs. II. EDUCATIONAL/CAREER OBJECTIVES Summarize the proposed program’s educational/career outcomes. Consider the purpose, content, and structure of the proposed program and their relationship to the mission of the institution. The objective of the program is to produce radiologic technologists with an associate’s degree who are able to be hired and practice in the field of radiography. Recent changes in regulations for the field of radiologic technology require that all radiologic technologists have an associate’s degree in the next few years. This program will facilitate this new regulation and also empower our graduates the opportunities to pursue further education in four year and professional programs. An example of such is transferable credits from the A.S. degree program to the degree program at C.W. Post (B.S. degree). Our A.S. general education credits are also transferable to other schools as is currently practiced by articulation agreements. ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 10 As stated before this educational program promotes further intellectual discovery and economic opportunities through education for individuals on Long Island. In working as partners with area hospitals we assist in maintaining an adequate work force and promote the maintenance of a vital health care profession (needed by our local hospitals and health providers). This is in direct relationship to our college mission and vision of providing education and career opportunities for empowerment that transform lives and address Long Island needs. III. INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT A. Identify existing or projected programs at the college in the same or related disciplines and the anticipated impact of the proposed program on them. There are no Suffolk County Community College programs that are the same or related. B. Indicate whether this program replaces any existing program(s). This program does not replace any existing programs. This program adds resources to the four nationally accredited hospital-based programs so that they can continue their programs and students obtain needed associate’s degrees. An associate’s degree is in the process of being required by the accrediting organization JRCERT. The alliance of SCCC with the hospital-based programs assures the survival of these four needed Long Island programs. It also allows students to study radiation science as an option in the science division. C. Indicate whether the program is entirely or primarily a restructuring of existing courses and resources. The Radiation Science Program is a partnership of SCCC and four existing nationally accredited hospital-based programs. The SCCC contribution is entirely composed of existing courses and resources. The four hospital-based programs’ contribution is entirely composed of their existing courses and resources (which have to be taught as stated by the accrediting organization). D. What percentage of courses in the curriculum (either required or elective) will be available to students through a distance education modality? The hospital-based Radiation Science Program courses are not distance education feasible. College academics provided with distance learning include: ENG101 ENG102 PSY101 MAT111 COL101 ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 11 Elective areas that are available through a distance learning modality are: HUM SS HIS VMT Humanities Social Sciences History The Arts: Visual Arts, Music, Theater Up to 37% (up to 26.5 credits) of the curriculum is available to students through a distance learning modality. IV. LEARNING OUTCOMES & ASSESSMENT A. Outline the programmatic goals and outcomes for the program, including a list of the learning outcomes students should demonstrate upon completing the program. Mission Statement and Goals: The Radiation Science Program is committed to graduating students with a well rounded experience in radiologic technology and understanding of their role as members of the health care team. It is designed to provide study and experience for entry level technologists so they become technically proficient and knowledgeable professionals, who will demonstrate radiation protection with accurate technique and positioning. Graduates are expected to take pride in high quality patient care, taking into consideration the needs of all patients they will serve by recognizing the cultural diversity and needs of the aging population. With an A.S. degree, students will have the academic preparation to continue to more advanced academic study. The major goals of the Program are: 1. Students will be clinically competent. 2. Students will communicate effectively in the clinical setting. 3. Students will use critical thinking and problem solving skills. 4. Students will experience the importance of professional growth and development. 5. The program will graduate entry-level technologists. 6. Students will have the academic potential to continue to a baccalaureate program. B. What is the proposed date of the initial periodic assessment of the program? The hospital programs are currently self-assessing, based on Accreditation guidelines from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Students of the R.S. program are anticipated to start graduating in three years with an A.S. degree. At that time it will be possible to begin collecting sufficient data for review of this program. V. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS List admission requirements. Describe how these requirements assure that students are prepared to complete the program. ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 12 While students are taking pre-requisites at SCCC, they must matriculate and go through the admissions process with a delegated member of the admissions department. Applications for admission to the hospital-based portion of the program must be submitted from September to January after the prerequisites are completed. Returning students (those not entering the program directly from high school) must complete prerequisite courses totaling a minimum of 15 credits: 1. Anatomy & Physiology I (BIO130) 2. Algebra II or higher math (MAT111) 3. English Composition (ENG101) 4. Humanities Elective 5. Introduction to Human Communications (COM101) 6.

Hospital-based faculty Each meets JRCERT requirements for radiologic technology practice and education at the Radiation Science Program. Office Clinical Supervisors work out of radiology departments of hospitals and clinics. Each hospital-based Radiation Science program maintains its own contact list of external clinical instruction sites that it works with. ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 17 VII. IMPACT OF NEW PROGRAM A. Justify the need for the proposed program in terms of the students it will serve and the economic and/or educational needs of Suffolk County and New York State. How was the level of need established? In 2007, The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) passed a motion that urges all radiologic technology programs to provide an associate degree. Please note as stated above Radiation Science, Radiography and Radiologic Technology are three accepted terms referring to education in this field. This recommendation is already in the process of becoming a requirement (by ASRT). For this reason, the four hospital-based programs have sought to partner with SCCC in the construction of associate degree programs for their students. Hospital programs that do not join forces with college will be forced to limit their enrollment to students who have associate degrees upon admission. This partnership will facilitate both the survival of the hospital-based programs and help students complete their education in Suffolk. Radiologic technologists are needed. There is an 8% shortage nationwide according to a 2007 study by ASRT. Department of Labor statistics verify an on-going need. Students graduating from the four nationally accredited hospital-based programs have had a 100% employment rate within six months. This program will give educational exposure and access to all communities on Long Island and the addition of radiation science graduates will help alleviate shortages found in the medical community and our local hospitals. B. Identify similar programs at other institutions, public and independent, in the service area, region and state, as appropriate. (Recent enrollment data for SUNY institutions is available from the Academic Programs Information System at http://www.suny.edu/provost/irdocs/irpubs.htm.

RELATIONSHIP TO STUDENTS A. Projected Enrollment: 1. When the program begins: The four hospital programs are functioning and are fully accredited. Full Time_______45-50 (total of the four hospitals in the partnership)_________ Part Time____0____ After 5 years: Full Time____45-50______ Part Time ____0______ Please note: In the future, all students taking the hospital-based radiologic technology program who do not already have an associate’s degree will need to be enrolled in SCCC. Based on future requirements this will give SCCC a total of 45-50 students per year in the hospital-based program. This program will also increase the total number of A.S. student enrollment and increase awareness of the sciences. All students must complete prerequisites before entering the hospital-based programs. Please note that this program also affords our students in the sciences another professional field which pays higher than other two-year degree opportunities. SCCC student estimate taking pre-requisites: 200-400 in a calendar year. Each program interviews 60-100 students (a total of 240-400), with half of those students being applications to multiple hospitals. The hospitals currently accept a majority of our students getting their prerequisites at Suffolk County Community College. Therefore, our burden will not be increased. 2. How were projections determined?_______________________ Projections were determined based on data collected from the four nationally accredited hospital programs, attached in Appendix C at the end of this document. Also be advised the limited seats (per program) are based on the resources at the accredited sites and limits set by JRCERT instructor-to-student ratios. ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY Revised 10/2008 New-Curriculum Proposal Form, Pg. 19 3. What plans have been made for the possibility that anticipated enrollment estimates are not achievable? SCCC is providing education for the academic portions of the curriculum only. These classes are already being offered without the partnership. The college would be unaffected if numbers in the hospital-based programs fluctuate. B. Transferability Proposals for programs leading to an A.A. or an A.S. degree must include documentation that program graduates will be able to transfer into at least two registered baccalaureate programs and complete them within two additional years of full-time study. Letters from the chief academic officers of two baccalaureate institutions attesting to the articulation of the proposed A.A. or A.S. degree must be included with the program proposal.

Indicate the academic leadership of the program by placing an asterisk next to the name of the director or chair. Would additional faculty need to be hired in order to fully the implement program? If so, specify. N/A: no faculty required in addition to faculty teaching at the hospital-based programs. Even if faculty is needed and hired later, that is the obligation of each hospital-based program. * Dr. Janet Haff, academic chair for the Department of Natural Sciences, has indicated that no new faculty members are required for science portion of this program. B. Number of other staff positions required. N/A: no clerical, laboratory staff, etc. Suffolk will be required to provide some administrative oversight in coordinating the aspects of the college-based academic and hospital-based components of the Radiation Science degree seamlessly for the students. The hospital-based programs will continue to manage their programs’ administrations as previously, including accreditation documentation and documents needed for graduates’ certification in the field. Suffolk will track students with existing systems through the registrar. Interface between Suffolk and the hospitals will be developed to facilitate students’ advancement and graduation with an associate’s degree. X.

Though regulations regarding the administration of contrast media and intravenous medications vary in different states and institutions, the official position of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists is that venipuncture falls within the profession’s general scope of practice and practice standards. Therefore, it should be included in the didactic and clinical curriculum with demonstrated competencies of all appropriate disciplines regardless of the state or institution where the curriculum is taught. In states or institutions where students are permitted to perform intravenous injections, the program has specific ethical and legal responsibilities to the patient and the student. The student shall be assured that: Legal statutes allow student radiographers to perform this procedure. Professional liability coverage is adequate. Adequate supervision is provided. Appropriate, structured, laboratory objectives are identified. Evaluation and demonstration of competency occur before this task is performed unsupervised.
