Specifically, CoARC Standard 4.01 requires that programs prepare students to meet the recognized competencies for registered respiratory therapists identified in these Standards (CoARC, 2010, p. 23). Further, Standard 4.02 requires programs to define and list the competencies it requires for graduation. The program must employ student evaluation methods that measure all defined program competencies. These competencies and evaluation methods must be written and communicated to the enrolled students (CoARC, 2010, p. 23). Documentation of competencies encompassing knowledge, technical proficiency, and behaviors expected of program graduates as well as evaluation mechanisms designed to monitor knowledge, performance, and behavior are the minimal evidence of compliance associated with this Standard. Programs may select the types of learning activities and assessments that will indicate compliance with recognized competencies. To prepare competent respiratory therapists, the curriculum should be the framework for a deliberate and systematic educational process in the affective, psychomotor, and cognitive domains. It is intended to develop new proficiencies with an application in mind, and is presented with attention to needs, objectives, activities, and a defined method of evaluation. The curriculum should include supervised pre-clinical (didactic and laboratory) and clinical activities, as well as documentation of progress towards achieving competency. The educational competencies for the respiratory care education program should include the preparation of graduates who possess the knowledge, skills and values to practice respiratory care. The evaluation methods used in the program should include process and end-product assessments of student performance (e.g., competency checklists), as well as a variety of objective testing measures. These mechanisms will provide student performance data related to measuring defined program competencies throughout the program for the students, faculty and college administration. The program should provide evidence that each student is made aware of (i.e., written acknowledgment) the competencies required for completion of the program AARC BOD Meeting.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
