NCHSTE

• The National Consortium on Health Science and
  Technology Education (NCHSTE) is a national
  partnership of individuals and organizations with
  a vested interest in health science and
  technology education.
• Organized in 1991, its purpose is to stimulate
  creative and innovative leadership for ensuring a
  well prepared healthcare workforce
• Primary strategies include fostering
  collaboration among educational agencies, the
  health care community, policy-making bodies, and
  labor

Communication Standard

• Health Occupations Professional Essentials
• Foundation Standard 2 Communications
• Health care workers will know the various methods
  of giving and
• obtaining information. They will communicate
  effectively, both orally
• and in writing.
• 2.1 Oral Communications Skills
• 2.11 Adjust communication to others ability to
  understand
• 2.12 Apply the elements of communication using
  the sender-receiver model
• 2.13 Apply active listening skills using
  reflection, restatement, and clarification
• techniques
• 2.14 Demonstrate courtesy to others including
  self introduction
• 2.15 Interpret verbal and non-verbal behaviors to
  augment communication and
• within scope of practice

Communication Standard

• 2.16 Demonstrate interviewing skills
• 2.2 Written Communication Skills
• 2.21 Report relevant information in order of
  occurrence
• 2.22 Report subjective information
• 2.23 Report objective information
• 2.24 Analyze communications for appropriate
  response and provide feedback
• 2.25 Organize, write and compile technical
  information and summaries
• 2.26 Use medical terminology within a scope of
  practice in order to interpret, transcribe and
  communicate information, data and observations

10
Standards and Accountability Criteria

• Determine how good is good enough
• Postsecondary and employer validation
• Establishes Performance Measures
• Assessments and Certificate Recognition

• PLTW will pilot with six states over the 4 years.
• States have the option of developing their own
  course materials.

12
Pilot Project Proposal

• The Pilot Project will address
• Develop Medical Anatomy and Physiology (MAP)
  course
• Individual needs of students.
• The Health Science Career Pathways
• Alignment with Appropriate Academic Standards
  (Life Sciences)
• National Health Care Foundation Skill Standards.
• Health care leadership and technical skills.
• Postsecondary education requirements.
• Employment needs of the health care community.

13
Pilot Project Proposal

• Medical Anatomy and Physiology CIP Code 51.1315
  Outline
• Description MAP is a full-year course that will
  provide students with an in-depth study of health
  careers aligned with the national health care
  foundation standards and the five health care
  career pathways.
• Instruction will include intermediate anatomy
  physiology, medical terminology, diseases and
  disorders, medical ethics and first aid. The
  course will be designed to prepare students for
  Advanced Health Science courses and/or for a
  variety of Health Technology programs at the post
  secondary level.

14
Pilot Project Proposal

• Introduction to Health Science and Technology
  Education or Biology are suggested as
  prerequisite courses. Students will have the
  opportunity to obtain skill certificates for
  Anatomy Physiology and/or Medical Terminology
  and options for concurrent enrollment.
• Health Science Students of America (HOSA) is the
  student organization sponsored by HSTE education.
  It is a critical component of the HST
  curriculum, including MAP. HOSA activities will
  be included in the course to provide students
  with opportunities to attain the knowledge,
  skills and leadership characteristics necessary
  to succeed in a health care profession.
