Emergency Care & Rescue
Results of Assessment
1999-2000 (submitted 4/10/01)
The Emergency Care and Rescue program offers both certificate of completion
and A.A.S. at Weber State University. National Accreditation has required the
process of Outcomes Assessment as a tool for program evaluation, validity and
reliability for the past six years. Each year provides an update of information.
The EC&R program uses evaluations from faculty, employers, graduates and
standardize examinations for state certification as tools to measure outcomes in
the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The outcomes are discussed
with faculty, preceptors, advisory committee, and reported to the programs’
accrediting agency. The program will continue to monitor all areas of the
assessment plan.
The EC&R program has experienced excellent retention of students
throughout the years, and 100% placement into jobs within 3 months of
graduation.
