1 | Curriculum and Assessment (First Review) - RES Respiratory Therapist | Completed | Needs Revision | 08/27/2024 | Andrea Wange | What is the evidence for change? The change in credit hours from 2 to 4 is a big change, what justifies this? Change in credits will also require a Program Modification. This course needs a course learning sequence document to see the alignment with the PSLOs and key assessments. |
2 | Curriculum and Assessment (First Review) - RES Respiratory Therapist | Completed | Approved | 10/11/2024 | Andrea Wange | I find it challenging to support curricular changes without evidence of their necessity, especially when the course has not yet been taught. |

Catalog Course Description: | This course focuses on an overview of Respiratory Care, and the anatomy and physiology of the cardiopulmonary system and associated structures. Includes: ventilation and diffusion of pulmonary gases, the circulatory system and transport of respiratory gases, and the control of ventilation for acid base balance. Also includes disease processes and their effects on the cardiopulmonary system and structures. |
