Many of the general education and core courses are required for completion of varied professional health programs. Examples include Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiography, Respiratory Care, and Surgical Technology. The HST provides a smooth transition or career pathway to an allied health or nursing selective admission program once a student is accepted. Supportive Data Currently, there are about 1000 students at JCTC awaiting admission to selective admission health programs. This degree will provide an option and a course of study to identify with, thus enhancing student retention. Many nursing/allied health programs have core general education requirements included in the AAS in Health Science Technology. Thus, this degree will provide a seamless transition into a selective admission program or into the workplace through immediate application of certificate-level skills. The degree will provide a completion degree and a set of marketable skills for employment in the health care field for the many students that await admission to selective admission health programs. Current job market data indicates that employment opportunities in the allied health
iv
and patient care fields are available and will continue to increase. According to Workforce Kentucky, the Louisville area has a projected 1,289 annual job openings in healthcare and technical occupations between 2006 and 2016. This degree will provide employment opportunities as well as educational opportunities via career pathways for nursing and allied health programs. Employment will be available in a variety of health care facilities. Certificates are embedded in the program for Nursing Assistant, Advanced Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy Technician, and Pharmacy Technician Assistant. Resources JCTC currently offers the health science classes. The college has facility space, equipment, and resources to implement the program. No additional funding is required to implement the program Conclusion This proposed program is consistent with the missions of KCTCS and JCTC. The curriculum has been approved through the KCTCS curriculum approval process. Local and state needs support the establishment of this program. Resources are available to implement the AAS in Health Science Technology. The approval of this program will assist JCTC in meeting needs locally and regional

Health Science Technology New Degree/Diploma Request Format
I. Mission, Influence, Organization
1.01 Consistency with Mission
State the relevance of this program to the institution’s mission and to its long- range instructional plan.
An Associate in Applied Science degree in Health Science Technology will provide students an opportunity to improve the quality of their lives both economically and professionally. The proposed Associate in Applied Science in Health Science Technology is consistent with System and institutional mission. The missions Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) include improving the quality of life and employability of the citizens of the Commonwealth by serving as the primary provider of:
• Certificate, diploma, associate degree, and transfer programs • Workforce training to meet the needs of existing and new businesses and industries • Remedial and continuing education • Short-term, customized training for business and industry • Adult education • Associated services
Mission
Jefferson Community and Technical College is a public, comprehensive, postsecondary institution awarding certificates, diplomas and associate degrees. The College provides open access to affordable, quality education and training for a diverse community of students; promotes opportunities for lifelong learning and success through its programs and services; and supports the attainment of statewide educational goals.
Jefferson Community and Technical College is a member of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System with multiple campuses and locations in Jefferson, Shelby, Carroll, Bullitt, Gallatin, Henry, Oldham, Owen, Spencer, and Trimble Counties.
Goals
Jefferson Community and Technical College fulfills its mission through the following goals:
1. Promote excellence in teaching and learning through all College services.
2
2. Provide occupational/technical (AAS, Diploma, Certificate), transfer (AA, AS), and developmental educational programs.
3. Provide seamless education opportunities through educational and community partnerships.
4. Provide a safe and accessible learning and working environment.
5. Exercise efficient and responsible stewardship of the college’s human, fiscal, and physical resources.
6. Provide workforce and economic development through agreements with business and industry.
7. Promote diversity within the college learning and working environment.
8. Increase student access to learning through the use of technology and alternative delivery options.
9. Promote public awareness of the value of postsecondary education and Jefferson Community and Technical College’s role in expanding employment opportunities and enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.
1.02 Internal/External Influences
a. Briefly describe any identified institutional, local, and regional needs to which the proposed program would be responsive (do not include workforce data).
The proposed Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Health Science Technology has several desirable features. It consists of 60-65 credits, 28-32 of these as general education requirements and 32-33 as technical core courses.
This structure has several benefits, one being fulfillment of similar general education requirements for other later degree work within a health career pathway (e.g. entry into the AAS and Bachelor of Science degrees in Nursing). Further, a number of the Allied Health programs (Clinical Laboratory Technician, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Health Information Technology, Medical Assisting, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiography, Respiratory Care, and Surgical Technology) have a similar set of core pre-requisites and/or co-requisites. The Health Science Technology degree will also provide a career pathway degree completion opportunity for the hundreds of students awaiting admission into nursing and allied health programs that are already at capacity.
This strategy of offering a generalist AAS in Health Science Technology will advance our effort to help address key and growing workforce shortages that are well documented. It
3
also provides the student with embedded certificates for valuable skill sets at the completion of each semester, providing additional exit options with credentials that have market value in the healthcare industry.
b. Describe any exceptional circumstances that favor the development of this
program. For example, special facilities, grants, patrons, etc.
JCTC currently employs all faculty members needed to teach within the proposed curriculum; therefore, implementation of this program will not require any funding for additional faculty. Likewise, existing labs are fully equipped to handle the technical components of this new degree program, so additional equipment will not need to be purchased.
c. Identify current issues and anticipated trends that are likely to impact the proposed
program and describe the expected impact.
With the passage of health care reform, everyone in the industry is looking closely at how they do business, in order to deliver services in an efficient and cost-effective manner to an expanding client population. New or increased coverage for millions of patients nationwide will place increased demands on existing health care systems, and the existing healthcare workforce will not be sufficient. This program will provide graduates that are cross trained to fill a variety of employment positions within a variety of healthcare facilities and other locations, and who are well-prepared for additional cross-training and life-long learning.
1.03 Relationship to Organizational Structure
Describe the placement of the program within the institution’s department/division structure.
The Health Science Technology Program will be located within the Allied Health Division, and will be offered primarily in the Health Sciences Building on the Downtown Campus. The Allied Health Division currently offers programs in these areas:
Clinical Laboratory Technician Diagnostic Medical Sonography Health Information Technology
Medical Office Radiography Medical Assisting
Medical Billing and Coding Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Technology
Occupational Therapy Assistant Pharmacy Technician
4
Phlebotomy Physical Therapist Assistant
Radiography Respiratory Care
Surgical Technology
The Health Science Technology Degree will complement current offerings, enable greater resource sharing, and allow JCTC to better meet student and community needs.

b. Provide evidence of intra- and inter- institutional collaboration as specified in the
KCTCS Policy on Collaborative Program Development. KCTCS has developed policies for cooperative efforts between KCTCS colleges, such as the Policy on Collaboration Program Development (9/16/98, revised 12/5/03, 6/12/09), which ensures that collaborative program development processes shall meet criteria specified by the accrediting bodies of the respective community and technical colleges and any required programmatic standards, and the Policy for Consortial Relationships and Contractual Agreements (Credit Courses or Programs) (5/27/99, revised 1/4/07, 11/20/09), which ensures that agreements meet the accreditations requirements of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In support of these policies, the HST program within KCTCS has a system-wide curriculum committee whereby a representative from each college offering the credential serves on the committee. The curriculum is developed / revised via the KCTCS curriculum approval process. This committee/process promotes consistency of curriculum and the ability of students to transfer among the KCTCS colleges and also to four-year colleges/universities.
10
III. Supportive Data 3.01 Workforce Requirements
Complete Section 3.01 only if the proposed program will prepare graduates for a specific occupation or profession. a. Is this program designed to prepare students primarily for the local, state, regional,
or national market?
Students graduating with an Associate in Applied Science in Health Science Technology can compete for entry-level healthcare jobs locally, statewide, regionally and nationally. Local employers include community hospitals and health care agencies, in particular outpatient and long term care settings, which also participate as clinical sites for students completing the Health Science Technology program.
b. Provide evidence of strong and compelling community/workforce needs that will be
met by this program (e.g., survey results of potential employers, letters from business and industry on company letterhead, advisory committee minutes signed by members, etc.).
Employment opportunities in the allied health and patient care are available and are expected to increase with implementation of the provisions of health care reform. Kentuckiana Works is projecting a need for 2600 additional home health aides (a 55% increase), 1840 nurse aides, orderlies and attendants (a 22% increase) and 1873 personal and home care aides (a 63% increase) by 2018.
In addition to the survey results, letters of support were received from local healthcare organizations (Appendix E).
3.02 Similar Programs in Kentucky
a. Identify similar programs available elsewhere in the state. Please provide a five-year productivity history.
There are currently only two other Health Science Technology degree programs in KCTCS, one at Ashland Community and Technical College (approved 3/10) and one at West Kentucky Community and Technical College (approved 3/10).
b. Explain how the proposed program avoids unnecessary duplication.
Although the program will exist at three colleges within the KCTCS system, JCTC, ACTC and WKCTC will each be serving the needs of students and employers within their respective geographic districts.
11
a. Have you examined the possibility of collaborative and/or sharing of resources with similar programs within the state? What were the results of your examination?
Health Science Technology programs within KCTCS and the system curriculum committee will share ideas, explore distance learning courses/methodologies, and share a common curriculum. Collaboration exists in the offering of general education by sharing of courses through the KY Virtual Campus (KYVC) and KCTCS Online.
b. Discuss the transferability of this new program through actual or probable
articulation agreements with other secondary or post secondary institutions. Include articulation agreements or letters of intent in the appendices.
General education courses may transfer to any public Kentucky four-year institutions by virtue of the statewide general education transfer agreement. Students may obtain a completer baccalaureate degree at most Kentucky public universities. Additional transferability and articulation to baccalaureate programs will be explored and developed.
3.03 Comparative Programs in Other States
a. Identify nearby institutions in adjacent states that have comparable (similar) programs.
Investigation of other institutions inside Kentucky showed no existing program comparable to the Health Science Technology program. There are other Health Science programs, but the focus is on general hospital administration or on a specific area within health care. This research further supports the Health Science Technology degree as it provides the graduate with broad-based skill set. Further research found only one institution outside the state of Kentucky that had a program similar to the Health Science Technology, University of Alaska, Southeast.
b. Explain why the proposed program is not unnecessarily duplicative. Not applicable as there are no similar programs in the surrounding out-of-state area. 3.04 Enrollment/Productivity a.
