Introduction RowanSOM is dedicated to providing the highest quality medical

education, research, and health care services. The guiding principles of Diversity, Service and Quality & Excellence inform all elements of the institution’s mission. An underlying emphasis on primary health care in all areas of our mission reflects ties to an osteopathic philosophy. The school is committed to developing compassionate physicians from the broadest spectrum of backgrounds, who are dedicated to becoming leaders in their communities and in clinical and academic medicine. In fulfillment of its mission, the school engages in ongoing assessment in search of evidence for congruence between the institutions’ stated mission, goals, and objectives and the actual outcomes of its academic program in order to improve the quality of its education.

The Outcomes Assessment Plan serves as a blueprint for the assessment

of the institution’s education mission. The plan encompasses Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluation 1) reaction, 2) learning, 3) behaviors and 4) results in the assessment of three core areas:

1) Curriculum/Program Effectiveness 2) Student Performance Outcomes 3) Academic Performance Outcomes

Each of the core areas of assessment includes a continuous quality

improvement process in which data are used to inform institutional change and curriculum reform. This process and its components are published on the Assessment and Evaluation website: http://www.rowan.edu/som/education/assess/index.html

A curriculum management software (one45) is used to support data

collection across all four years of the curriculum and to enhance the accessibility of data to key stakeholders. Refer to the Appendix for a summary chart which outlines the assessment targets, outcomes measured, assessment level, data sources, timelines and individuals involved in the CQI process in each of the three major areas.

A a series of Institutional Effectiveness reports is provided to the school’s

leadership by the Office of Assessment and Evaluation; the report series serves to elucidate trends, analysis and outcomes for each of the core areas of assessment. Reports in the series address national board trends, competency tracking, clinical skills capstone performance, mission-based trends, and post-graduate residency evaluation among RowanSOM students, and across time.

In an effort to promote greater transparency of information to all

stakeholders and better support student performance tracking, a new Assessment Dashboard called SOMetrics is currently in place. The Assessment Dashboard streamlines the process of relaying information to key stakeholders, and analyzes key performance indicators (KPIs) on students such as:

What is assessment?

Assessment is the

systematic collection,

interpretation and use

of information about

the effectiveness of the

institution and its

educational programs

in an effort to improve

student learning and

achieve targeted

outcomes. The

assessment cycle begins

with defining the

desired outcomes which

subsequently drives

curriculum delivery and

provides the

foundation for the

assessment process.

• National Benchmarks • Risk Factors • Performance Measures (Grades, OSCEs, COMAT, COMLEX) • Competencies/EPAs • Curriculum Effectiveness/Comparability • Graduate Outcomes (Match, Residency Performance, Board Cert.)

Several distinct dashboard modules have already been released, while other modules are still under development.

The released modules include: 1) Student Performance Profile - Includes individual student grades, board exam scores, pre-medical

school history and performance, and history of changes in a student’s academic status. 2) School Profile - Includes geographic, demographic and performance of entering students, grouped

by academic year of admission. This also includes enrollment trends by academic year. 3) National Benchmarks / Institutional Metrics - Includes comparisons of Rowan SOM vs. national

averages of COMLEX & COMAT performance with trends by academic year. This also includes trends of student feedback to national AACOM surveys as part of the Rowan SOM Institutional Effectiveness Series reports.

Modules under development include: 4) Curricular Analysis - This will include breakdowns of Curricular Mapping (i.e. Competencies, EPAs,

Organ Systems, etc.), student feedback of course/clerkship and instructor/preceptor performance, and course grade histograms and trends.

5) Alumni - This will include student match information, practicing information, and alumni survey results.

6) Other reports - TBD

Curriculum/Program Effectiveness: Courses and Clerkships New curriculum competencies were adopted by the Curriculum Committee in 2017. The school has

identified 37 specific competencies across six domains which are aligned with national standards established by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). Osteopathic manipulative medicine, often separated as a 7th competency, was integrated into each of the six core domains to elevate its importance in the curriculum and ensure integration in all the areas of instruction. Each course, module and clerkship in both the traditional and the problem-based learning curricula is expected to address and provide learning opportunities, which are linked to the established competencies, to develop effective measures to assess student performance, and to ensure satisfactory achievement. Following initial mapping efforts by the Curriculum Committee and Academic Affairs, the Dean for Curriculum has embarked on a comprehensive curriculum mapping project, utilizing one45 to ensure that all the required competencies and course learning objectives are addressed and assessed in the curriculum.

RowanSOM’s curriculum assessment plan examines the effectiveness of its traditional and problem- based learning (PBL) academic programs in the context of the expected competencies and includes distinct strategies for 1) Courses and 2) Clerkship education. As the number of students enrolled in the Problem-Based Learning Curriculum increases, additional distinct strategies are likely to evolve in order to sufficiently monitor and continuously improve PBL performance standards and outcomes. Initial methods to assess PBL include existing strategies for the traditional curriculum. Outcomes that are measured as part of the overall assessment of the curriculum include reaction and performance measures:

1) Course and Clerkship Evaluation – students rate each course and clerkship on learning objectives,

content, instruction/learning experiences, administration/organization, feedback, and overall quality through an online survey administered at the end of each course/clerkship (see Appendix). Mean course and clerkship ratings are reported and tracked over time and compared to overall mean ratings as a component of the annual curriculum review process. Similarly, students evaluate the Problem Based Learning on effectiveness of case-based learning modules, and courses (On Doctoring and OMM), as well as the overall effectiveness of PBL program in terms of program objectives, program content, learning resources, feedback, assessment, program administration and overall experience.

2) Instructor, Preceptor, and Facilitator Evaluation – students rate each faculty instructor and preceptor on preparation, content, teaching skills, teaching environment, student participation and feedback, as well as overall effectiveness (see Appendix). Instructor and preceptor evaluation are new components of the schools’ evaluation process. Mean faculty performance is compared to overall mean performance. Problem-Based Learning and Small Group Facilitators are evaluated in a similar fashion, on a number of skills and traits related to effective facilitation of learning.

3) Course and Clerkship Performance – mean final grade performance, pass rates, and trends in grade distributions are analyzed to evaluate the overall effectiveness of courses and clerkships. Trends in COMAT and COMLEX performance by discipline and content area are compared across years and to national benchmarks. PBL students performance are also tracked and compared across years to both traditional students and national benchmarks.

4) Comparability Analysis (Clinical Education Plan only) – a detailed analysis of key performance indicators for each of the major clinical hubs is conducted annually. The specific indicators that are compared include student survey mean scores, clinical evaluation mean performance, national exam performance (COMLEX, COMAT), and departmental assessments (written exams, OSCEs). Differences by hub are compared for statistical significance. An overall analysis of these differences is summarized by clerkship.

5) AACOM Graduation Survey- annual graduation survey results are examined for trends in satisfaction with amount of content by subject area, satisfaction with clinical training, and self-reported confidence among other indicators. School data are compared to national benchmarks to identify areas of relative strength and/or weakness.

Curriculum Review Process

RowanSOM has a Course and Clerkship Review Policy and Procedure, which provides an in-depth

explanation of the process and the forms that are used. Following is a brief summary of the components of the annual and comprehensive reviews that are completed.

An annual review of individual courses and clerkships for both the traditional and PBL curricula, is conducted at the end of each academic year. The Office of Academic Affairs completes a detailed review of all courses and clerkships, as well as instructors and preceptors based upon student survey data. The results are individually reported to the Directors, Department Chairs and faculty. In addition, the Office of Assessment and Evaluation prepares an annual report on the curriculum based upon a focused review of survey results, grade distributions, COMLEX and COMAT results and PESA findings. The report includes recommendations to the Assistant Dean for Curriculum, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Curriculum Committee.

A comprehensive review is conducted on all required courses and clerkships once every three (3) years by the PESA committee. The review is conducted by PESA members who utilize a standard checklist. The comprehensive review process is designed to be an in-depth holistic evaluation of course/clerkship performance based upon multiple data sources including program data, student performance data, and student feedback as described below.

Affairs] The PESA lead reviewer presents a summary report with recommendations to the full committee for

discussion. Based upon the results of the comprehensive review, a course receives an overall rating of: met standards, met standards in some areas, or did not meet standards; each overall rating is further distinguished with commendations, recommendations or required actions. A rating of ‘did not meet standards’ is given if required actions from the previous PESA course review are not met, or if there is a required action in each of the three domain areas reviewed (Course Content, Student Performance, Student Feedback). Item Review Process

PESA also conducts a post-hoc exam item review for internally-developed exams on a scheduled basis. A

designated PESA reviewer evaluates the effectiveness of sample (a minimum of 50%) of exam items in a given course/clerkship utilizing standardized review criteria established by the committee. Exam reliability, item difficulty (p value), item discrimination (point biserial), distractor analysis, overall item performance, as well as item mix (level of difficulty, clinical cases, requiring critical thinking) are reviewed. Items are also critiqued with regard to format, and institution-wide category tagging, including competencies. Exam reviews are presented at monthly PESA meetings and a detailed report indicating items in need of review, and a summary report with overall metrics is compiled and sent to Course Directors. Continuous Quality Improvement Process

Evaluation findings are disseminated widely, in an effort to promote transparency, which is critical to

ensuring the data supports continuous quality improvement efforts. Student survey reports are disseminated individually to Course and Clerkship Directors and Department Chairs. A follow-up survey is then disseminated to track quality improvements that were implemented, or are planned; the feedback survey allows course and clerkship directors to report proposed changes in content, format, instruction methods, and other curricular innovations.

Annual Curriculum Review report is disseminated to the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Assistant Deans for Curriculum and for Clinical Education, Chairs, Course and Clerkship Directors,

Page 6: RowanSOM Outcomes Assessment Plan - Rowan University · 2020-04-08 · The Outcomes Assessment Plan serves as ablueprint for the assessment of the institution’s education mission

Curriculum Committee, PESA and the Director of Academic Affairs. Presentations on the review findings are presented annually to Academic Chairs and the Curriculum Committee including student leadership.

The comprehensive course and clerkship reviews completed by PESA are summarized in a final report. The report is disseminated by the PESA Chair and the Associate Dean for Assessment to the Course or Clerkship Director, Department Chair, and the Assistant Dean for Curriculum. A 360 review meeting is then conducted with the course or clerkship director, the Assocaite Dean for Assessment, the Assistant Dean for Curriculum, and the PESA Chair. Department Chairs and the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs are invited to join the meeting on an ad hoc basis. The meeting provides a forum to discuss the comprehensive review findings and recommendations, as well as discuss areas of challenge. Outcomes from the meeting and specific action plans are documented in a summary table that is distributed back to all participants. The 360 follow up is important component of the quality improvement process and is a method for documenting efforts to improve program effectiveness. A summary report of the recommendations and final course rating is provided to the Curriculum Committee on a semi-annual basis.

The item review findings and summary reports are disseminated by the PESA Chair and Associate Dean for Assessment to the Course or Clerkship Director. A 360 review meeting then takes place, wherein the particulars of a courses’ exam item review are discussed, and questions answered about how to best modify and improve the quality of future exams. Course and clerkship directors are then required to report corrections and modifications that were made to exam items.

Student Performance Outcomes The assessment of student performance outcomes focuses primarily on measurable student and

graduate outcomes linked to the school’s overall mission and the RowanSOM learning competencies. Longitudinal datasets and the SOMetrics dashboard have been established to track student performance measures across all four years and to analyze predictors of success. Data collected on each student include admission data (MCAT, GPA, etc.), medical school performance (grades, competency scores, COMSAE, COMAT, COMLEX, etc.), graduate medical education placement data and residency performance measures. These outcome data are examined at the level of the student and the school.

1) Competency and EPA Performance

RowanSOM competencies are specifically linked to assessments across the curriculum in both courses and clerkships and include both knowledge and performance components. This allows the school the ability to track individual student performance and overall competency outcomes across all four years of the curriculum. Competency data is currently reported annually as part of the Institutional Effectiveness Series and is under development to be included in the SOMetrics dashboard for individual student counseling.

a. Knowledge Component – Knowledge-based competency performance is assessed through internal exams. RowanSOM competencies are specifically linked to exam items in all courses using ExamSoft. The SOMetrics dashboard is currently being expanded to include a visualization of student competency-based knowledge performance over time to an established benchmark and in comparison to peers (e.g. box and whisker plot, spider graph). Individual student performance by competency domain and specific competencies is recorded at the end of each academic year and as a composite at the end of pre-clerkship training. Overall mean performance and the percentage of students performing above the cut score of 70% are reported annually.

b. Performance Component- Performance-based competency performance is assessed through standardized patients (SP) encounters/OSCEs across all four years and clinical preceptor ratings in MSIII/IV clerkship training. Graded SP encounters in On-Doctoring, OMM and Geriatrics provide competency-based performance measures in MS I/II. Duirng MS III, Objective

structured clinical examinations (OSCE) are graded requirements in 7 of the 8 core clerkships. At the end of the MS III year, all students are also required to pass a Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam (CSCE). The 8-station OSCE assesses minimum competence in history taking, physical examination, interpersonal and communication skills, documentation, clinical reasoning and OMT. The competency-based clinical preceptor form (see Appendix) provides competency-based reporting for each student by clerkship and longitudinally across all clerkships in One45. Performance data from both SPs/OSCEs and preceptor ratings will be combined in the SOMetrics dashboard to reflect student performance compared to an established benchmark and in comparison to peers (e.g. box and whisker plot, spider graph). Overall mean performance and the percentage of students performing above the cut score of 70% are also reported annually.

c. Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) – EPAs are mainly assessed through multiple occasions during clerkship training. For all MS III core clerkships, clinical preceptors also rated their entrustment levels on students using Preceptor Evaluation of Student Instrument. Elements of the CSCE checklists are tagged to the RowanSOM competencies and the 13 core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). In addition, three separate instruments have been developed to assess EPA-based skills. Entering and Discussing order and Prescription (EPA 4) is assessed during MS III Geriatrics and Pain OSCEs; Oral presentation of clinical case (EPA 6) is assessed during Geriatrics and OMM clerkships; patient handover (EPA 8) is assessed dring Geriatrics clerkship.

2) National Testing Data Performance on the national osteopathic licensure written examinations (COMLEX I, II and III) and subject exams (COMAT) serve as an objective assessment of basic science and clinical knowledge. COMLEX IIPE provides an objective assessment of interpersonal, communication, and clinical skills. The Assessment Office monitors pass rates and mean performance, analyzes school trends and national benchmarks. Data are shared with curriculum directors, Chairs, and Deans. Results are used by department education committees to inform curriculum reform. Scores, including performance by specialty, are used by the assessment committee, curriculum committee and the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs to target curricular improvements. The data is also reported in the annual curriculum review which is disseminated to all Chairs and Course and Clerkship Directors.

3) Graduate Medical Education Placement Rates

Student success in the osteopathic and allopathic national residency match is an indicator of the competitiveness of our academic program and student success. The percentage of students who placed is compared to the national rate as a benchmark. The percentage of students placing into primary care residencies is also collected as an assessment of the school’s primary care mission. These data are collected and analyzed by the Department of Academic Affairs and presented to the Deans, PESA, Curriculum Committee and Academic Chairs.

4) Residency Performance Student’s preparation for and success in their first year of residency is also an important indicator of the effectiveness of the academic program. A Residency Director evaluation form is sent for each graduate at the end of their PGY I year of training. The survey assess graduate performance on the 13 core EPAs on a standard entrustment scale. The results of the survey are reported to the Deans, PESA, Curriculum Committee and Academic Chairs.

Continuous Quality Improvement Process

Student performance outcomes in each of the areas are widely disseminated to promote transparency,

which is critical to ensuring that data supports continuous quality improvement efforts. The Dean, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Associate Dean for Assessment, Assistant Deans for Curriculum and

Page 8: RowanSOM Outcomes Assessment Plan - Rowan University · 2020-04-08 · The Outcomes Assessment Plan serves as ablueprint for the assessment of the institution’s education mission

8

Clinical Education, Chairs, Course and Clerkship Directors, the Curriculum Committee and PESA all serve a critical role in monitoring outcomes to ensure the effectiveness of the academic program, identify predictors of success, and ensure students are competent to graduate.

Academic Performance Outcomes Academic performance measures are primarily focused on the institutional success related to admission,

matriculation, retention, and graduation. It is the goal of SOM to recruit the best and brightest students and provide them with the environment and institutional support leading to high rates of retention, graduation, and program completion within a four year period. In addition, SOM is dedicated to maintaining its success in matriculating a gender-balanced class, who is ethnically and academically diverse, while focusing its recruitment pool within the State of New Jersey and its medically underserved areas.

The following outcomes are collected annually and tracked across years by the Admissions Office, the

registrar and Alumni Affairs. Admissions Outcome Measures

1) Academic rigor of accepted students: data are collected on admission GPA and MCAT scores to assure that academically highly qualified students are matriculated. Data are also used in an analysis of predictors of student success.

2) Diversity of accepted students: admission data are monitored to ensure the school fulfills its mission of diversity. Percentage of female students is utilized to assure a gender-balanced class; percentage of under-represented minority students is tracked to assure an ethnically diverse class.

3) Percentage of students from New Jersey and medically underserved communities- data are tracked to assess the school’s success in recruiting in-state residents especially from underserved areas that would allow future placement of physicians in the state as a component of the schools’ mission.

Retention Outcome Measures

1) Graduation rate for class admitted 5 years prior- this outcome is used to assess overall student retention and academic success.

Alumni Measures

An Alumni Survey is sent to graduates in order to assess the effectiveness of our academic program and accomplishment of our school’s mission. The specific outcomes tracked by the alumni office are:

1) Percentage of graduates who complete residency training 2) Percentage of graduates with medical licensure 3) Percentage of graduates with board certification 4) Percentage of graduates who practice as primary care clinicians 5) Percentage of graduates who practice in medically underserved areas/sites 6) Percentage of graduates who practice in state and overall geographic area of practice The administration of this survey begins 5 years after graduation, allowing respondents the time and

experience of clinical practice to reflect their satisfaction and preparedness. The office of Alumni Affairs administers the survey and prepares a summary report for the assessment committee, curriculum committee, and the Deans.

Implementation of the Plan The Outcomes Assessment Plan is developed by the Associate Dean for Assessment and the Assessment

Specialist in collaboration with the PESA committee. The plan is viewed as a living document that is adapted to respond to innovation in the field and changing needs within the school. Data in each of the three core areas is monitored by a number of key stakeholders (refer to Outcomes Assessment Plan summary table). These individuals ensure the implementation of the process and the analysis and dissemination of the resulting outcomes.
