OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY LAB EQUIPMENT PROJECT - OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY REQUESTS $1,168,000 THROUGH THE CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING (CDS) PROGRAM TO IMPLEMENT THE HEALTH SCIENCES LABORATORY MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE. THE PROJECT WILL MODERNIZE THE UNIVERSITY'S HEALTH SCIENCES INSTRUCTIONAL LABORATORIES THROUGH THE ACQUISITION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, SIMULATION TECHNOLOGIES, INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES, AND LABORATORY SUPPLIES THAT STRENGTHEN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND WORKFORCE PREPARATION. FEDERAL FUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE PURCHASE OF ADVANCED ANATOMY VISUALIZATION SYSTEMS, VIRTUAL SIMULATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGIES, PATIENT SIMULATION EQUIPMENT, CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT, EXERCISE SCIENCE AND HUMAN PERFORMANCE EQUIPMENT, INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY, AND LABORATORY INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE INVESTMENTS WILL CREATE MODERN LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE USING TECHNOLOGIES REPRESENTATIVE OF TODAY'S HEALTHCARE SETTINGS WHILE EXPANDING INSTRUCTIONAL CAPACITY ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY'S HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRAMS. THE PROJECT WILL ENHANCE LABORATORY INSTRUCTION BY INTEGRATING ADVANCED SIMULATION AND TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED LEARNING INTO THE CURRICULUM. STUDENTS WILL GAIN PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE USING CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGIES WHILE DEVELOPING TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY, CLINICAL REASONING, DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS, AND WORKFORCE-READY COMPETENCIES THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN THE UNIVERSITY'S ABILITY TO PREPARE GRADUATES FOR EMPLOYMENT IN HOSPITALS, OUTPATIENT CLINICS, REHABILITATION FACILITIES, COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, WELLNESS PROGRAMS, AND OTHER HEALTHCARE SETTINGS. THE 12-MONTH PROJECT PERIOD WILL FOCUS ON EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT, INSTALLATION, INSTRUCTIONAL INTEGRATION, FACULTY TRAINING, AND IMPLEMENTATION. PROJECT ACTIVITIES WILL BE DIRECTED BY THE UNIVERSITY'S PROVOST, WHO WILL SERVE AS PROJECT DIRECTOR, WITH ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATION PROVIDED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY & GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. NO FEDERAL FUNDS WILL BE USED TO SUPPORT PERSONNEL COSTS. UPON COMPLETION, OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY WILL HAVE ESTABLISHED A MODERN HEALTH SCIENCES INSTRUCTIONAL ENVIRONMENT THAT EXPANDS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, ENHANCES HANDS-ON LABORATORY INSTRUCTION, AND STRENGTHENS WORKFORCE PREPARATION FOR STUDENTS PURSUING CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE AND RELATED PROFESSIONS. THE EQUIPMENT ACQUIRED THROUGH THIS PROJECT WILL BECOME A PERMANENT INSTITUTIONAL RESOURCE SUPPORTING HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH SCIENCES EDUCATION FOR YEARS TO COME.
