Performance Enhancement Scheme
The paramount focus within the academic realm is achieving excellence, serving as the primary key performance area for both faculty and students. A pivotal metric in gauging academic excellence is attaining a 100% success rate, coupled with distinctions and university ranks. To ensure such excellence, academic rehabilitation initiatives are implemented. These involve conducting departmental reviews during Parent-Teacher meetings to identify students facing challenges, monitoring their progress, and devising individualized remedial actions.
Within this framework, high-performing students, as identified by their First Formative Assessment scores, are chosen to be part of a privileged batch. Members of this batch enjoy additional advantages, including increased access to faculty, departmental libraries, personalized exam paper settings, and one-on-one feedback sessions throughout the academic year. The results of this academic rehabilitation program have been notable, with all participating students successfully passing on their first attempt, and a considerable number achieving distinctions.
Notably, the majority, ranging from 95% to 100%, of students in the privileged batches have not only secured distinctions but have also earned university ranks. This holistic approach to academic support has proven effective in fostering success and excellence among students.
Clinical Competency Assurance
Ensuring the competence of graduating nursing students is a crucial concern in healthcare, directly impacting professional standards, patient safety, and the overall quality of nursing care. Each year, Clinical Competency Assurance coordinators collaborate with class coordinators, Heads of Departments (HODs), and the Principal to develop a comprehensive competency assurance calendar.
Clinical Competency Assurance sessions primarily focus on micro skills development, utilizing procedure videos, and allocating additional time for handling complex equipment. To further enhance students’ clinical skills, exposure to advanced medical technology labs at Covedien is provided. These labs offer hands-on experience with sophisticated instruments, allowing students to familiarize themselves with cutting-edge healthcare technology.
At the conclusion of each session, evaluations are conducted through supervisor and peer assessments, utilizing standardized checklists. This comprehensive approach ensures a thorough assessment of students’ proficiency. The feedback from students indicates a high level of satisfaction, particularly appreciating the extra time dedicated to hands-on experience in laboratories.
Preceptorship
To enhance and showcase their skills, students undergo practical training in various clinical specialties. The ratio of preceptors to preceptees is maintained at 1:3, ensuring effective mentorship. Specialized experts closely supervise the mentoring process in their respective clinical fields, and feedback is gathered through practical exams, as well as evaluations from both students and teachers.
Walk with Scholars
Recognizing that the most effective preparation for success in one’s professional life involves mastering the arts of attentive reading, clear and persuasive writing, quantitative and analytical reasoning, effective evaluation of evidence, and critical thinking, our program introduces the innovative “Walk with a Scholar” initiative. This flagship endeavor provides students with firsthand exposure to experts from diverse fields, serving as a personalized enhancement strategy. Through this initiative, experts share their wealth of knowledge, resources, values, skills, perspectives, and proficiencies to foster the holistic development of students. “Walk with a Scholar” serves as a platform for learners to acquire skills and knowledge aligned with their career goals. The primary objective is to cultivate generic skills, non-technical competencies, and attitudes that contribute to an individual’s sense of self and personal well-being.
