Evaluation Instruments

Terminal Competency Form (revised 5-2010)

CoAEMSP has developed a Terminal Competency form that programs can use to provide consistent verification of
each student's accomplishment of program competencies. The form documents successful completion of didactic, laboratory, clinical, and field internship components of the curriculum as well as affective learning domain evaluations. It also includes a section for tracking the outcomes of the individual after graduation. The form provides for the signatures of both the Program Director and the Medical Director.

Graduate and Employer Surveys

For each group of graduating students, programs are required to conduct surveys of those graduates and the employers of those graduates within 6-12 months after graduation using the DataArc system. Use of DataARC for these surveys is at no cost to programs, compliments of CoAEMSP. Contact karen@coaemsp.org if you do not yet have a DataArc account and login.

Resource Assessment

Assessment of program resources is to be performed at least annually (Standard III.D) using the Student Resource Survey instrument and the Program Personnel Resource Survey instrument as well as any other program assessment activities. Programs are to use the Resource Assessment Matrix format to define their assessment system, collate the assessment results, and develop action plans to address deficiencies.

Self Study Report Instruments

Programs preparing a self study report for becoming accredited (ISSR) or for reaccreditation (CSSR) must survey program personnel using the Faculty Evaluation SSR Questionnaire and must survey students using the Student Evaluation SSR Questionnaire.
