Pre-major and health science students are advised by the Office of Student Services. A program manager is assigned as liaison with grad programs. Prof students have both a faculty and student services advisor. Roles of student, academic advisor, and faculty advisor are defined on p. 20-21 of faculty handbook . Honors program is interesting. UG TOPICSUMMARYExploratory StudentsGeneralWebsite does not identify ‘exploratory students’ as a group Services/Activities Responsible party Communication Pre-Major StudentsGeneralPre-major and health science students are advised by the Office of Student Services. A program manager is assigned as liaison with grad programs. Prof students have both a faculty and student services advisor. Roles of student, academic advisor, and faculty advisor are clearly defined. Services/ActivitiesThese are well defined in the Handbook.Responsible party Pre-students are advised by Student Service personnel; once admitted to a program, advising responsibilities are shared Communication This is the clearest description of the advising process and responsibilities of students, staff, and faculty that I found. See p. 20-21 of faculty handbook . The premajor handbook is found at: . Admissions requirements for advanced degree programs (esp. obs/clin/wk experiences for PT and PA)PT – 40 hrs observation of PT – Ohio State does not have PA. Their website offers advice to students interested in applying to PA as follows: Each school will have a different requirement for hours – start earning these hours early because they do take quite a while to build up. Some examples as a way to get those hours include: i. State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) 1. Goodwill Columbus offers a 2 week course 2. Ohio Department of Health ii. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) 1. Tolles Public Safety Courses 2. Ohio Health Emergency Medical Services iii. Phlebotomy 1. Ohio School of Phlebotomy iv. Home Health Aide v. ABA Therapy vi. **Some schools may accept being a scribe or volunteering as direct patient experience** – it depends on the school though, be sure to ask for clarification () OT - App requires 40 hours of supervised obs, volunteer, or work exp in OT in at least 2 designated areas.Hi-Impact: Community (Clinical) EngagementGeneralClinical experiences are available; DPT students are required to complete SL experience.

Responsible party School and Divisions, as far as I can municationInformation provided at: with details for the options provided at: : International/ Cultural DiversityGeneralThere are international education opportunities. There are some international opportunities identified on the web, but little detail is provided. Services/Activities Responsible party Communication Hi-Impact: HonorsGeneralThere is an Honors Program in the School in 3 areas: Latinate (based on GPA); Honors in HRS (based on GPA and a series of activities; Distinction (GPA, these project – does not require that you be in the Honors program). The Honors program is developed to create a breadth of experiences that are aligned with the University Honors Program's GOALS of Global Awareness, Original inquiry, Academic enrichment, Leadership development and Service engagement. Services/ActivitiesTo graduate with Honors, students complete activities across three domains to facilitate development in each of these core areas. These activities should reflect experiences that go above and beyond degree program requirements to ensure a supplemental experience worthy of such distinction.?They are described on the website below.Responsible party It appears to be administered by the SchoolCommunicationStudents are directed to the following for information: Hi-Impact: LLPGeneralThere is a “Future Health Professionals Learning Community;” the LLP info states that the unit is in collaboration with the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

See: webpage on “About Us’ site about commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. Resource links also provided. School has a Director of Diversity and InclusionInnovative Pedagogy (DL, on-line, etc.)Health science UG program has online option for students with Associate’s Degree.New UG programs for considerationGeneralI found no discussion of new programs.UG programs not in CHSBehavior & Health AT Human Physiology Nutrition/ Nutrition Science/Dietetics Public Health StructureGeneralSchool is unique as it is situated within the College of Medicine. The ‘Dean” is the Director of the School. The School has 7 Divisions, typically representing individual disciplines. Location of UG Academic Programsalso found in CHSAT – Division in the SchoolCSD – NAMLS – Division in the SchoolCLM – similar program in Health Services Mgt DeptHHS – Health Science UG program is located within a Division that contains additional programs If there is an RHB PhD, how is it located in the college structure? The location is not clear, but the focus seems to be on OT, PT, & DieteticsAre there AT programs similar to the proposed 3+2? No. However, there are accelerated, combined BS/MS programs (e.g., CSD, Human Physiology) and the combined BS/DPT programs.GENERAL INFORMATIONCOMPARISON OF CHS PROGRAMS TO SHRSExploratory and Pre-studentsAthletic Training (BSAT)Clinical Leadership & Management Communication Sci & Dis (UG)Communication Sci & Dis Human Health Sciences(Health Science BS) newest UG program in the SHRSMedical Laboratory Science (BS) Physical Therapy, DPTPhysician Assistant (Studies)Rehabilitation Science PhD (PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences)SHRS ACADEMIC PROGRAMS NOT FOUND IN CHS Occupational Therapy MS, OTD (master’s is being phased out) Allied Medicine (MS) – may select area of emphasis, such as clinical nutrition, MLS, Health Informatics, etc. UG programs Health Information Management and Systems Medical DieteticsRadiologic Sciences and TherapyRadiographyRadiation TherapySonography/Vascular TechnologyRespiratory TherapyACADEMIC DEGREE PROGRAM STRUCTURESHRS is organized into 7 Divisions.

Professional program is about 2 years; Pre-health sciences students (2 years) apply to program for years 3 and 4. Selective admission; direct admissions available to Honors or Scholars students.

Medical Laboratory Science Rank: in top 1015-40 students per class; 4 tracks available – certification; medical science; MLT articulation; coordinated graduate. Worth a look for the CHS MLS program. . Certification track is 4 semesters; med sci trackd does not require learning lab procedures; graduate program is for those with an UG degree in a major other than MLS and want to pursue a career in MLS. Occupational Therapy . Rank: 12Only offer the clinical doc; MS being phased out. Enrolls over 40 each year. 2 yrs didactic and 6 ms fieldwork. Must already have an UG degree.

Apply for major prior to junior yearRespiratory Tx has 22 per class; accredited; professional curriculum 20 years; selective admissions. ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS: These programs are in the School, but I am not able to determine the Division.Allied Health MS – for students with UG degree who are seeking “expanded roles in research, teaching, administration, and professional practice” There are areas of emphasis – education, leadership, clinical nutrition, pre-PhD Pathway; Health Informatics; etc. I do not fully understand how this degree program works. Rehabilitation Sciences PhD focus seems to be on OT, PT, Dietetics. About 18 students based on webpage; lots of faculty – I assume that primary apt is elsewhere. For admission, potential students must have commitment of advisor or faculty sponsor; consider scope of research DEAN’S OFFICE STRUCTURE (based on org chart on p. 6; Academic Affairs – Director of Academic Affairs answers to the SHRS Director (Dean); Student Services answers to Academic Affairs DirectorStudent Affairs - located within Academic Affairs OfficeResearch - Director of Research and Grants is also the Assoc Dir of the SHRSDiversity – Director of Diversity and Inclusion answers to the Director (Dean) Information Technology – IT consultant answers to Director (Dean)Development – Marketing Office has a Director; Web Development and Communications is under this office.UG and Grad Affairs – There is a Director of Grad Studies for the School who answers to the Director (Dean)Assessment – no separate office apparentClinical Education – Central oversight of clinical education is not apparent ................
