DOCTORATE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY |
The Faculty Senate recommends approval of the Doctorate in Physical Therapy, as described below:
Executive Summary
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Proposal
The Department of Physical Therapy in the College of Health and Human Services at Sacramento State proposes offering the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) on the Sacramento campus beginning in fall 2012.
Rationale:
The
program is developed in response to changes in entry-level professional
education requirements by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy
Education (CAPTE). It is the intent of
this proposal that the new DPT curriculum will replace the MPT curriculum. MPT degrees will soon (2015) no longer meet
accreditation standards, and therefore licensing requirements. This new
DPT program will establish a pathway for CSUS students to become
graduates of an accredited program of professional physical therapist
education, and to continue to be eligible for licensure. This will advance
Program
Description:
The program is a professional doctoral
program, similar to MD and DDS programs, designed to prepare generalist
practitioners grounded in evidence-based practice in physical therapy. It consists of a combination of lecture,
laboratory, and clinical experiences over 3 years that fully integrates
evidence-based practice into these experiences through the use of case-method
teaching. A complete description of the
program as well as the design of courses by semester and summer term are included
in the full proposal in section 2 with year by year charts of the course
structure beginning on page 12. A copy
of all syllabi with assignments and sample exams accompany the Form As.
Governance
Structure:
The overall governing group of the program is the Department Council composed of members of the core and associated physical therapy faculty where all curricular and policy decisions are decided by a vote of all members. The Department is an equal and representative member of the College of Health and Human Services Committees, is represented in the Faculty Senate, and faculty serve on a variety of committees across the campus. Department faculty are fully engaged in and contributing to the activities of the campus.
Faculty:
Faculty teaching in the doctoral program and serving on doctoral committees meet all of the expectations consistent with university and CAPTE expectations. Policies and procedures are outlined in the Department’s updated Appointment, Retention, Tenure, and Promotion policies, and meet the expectations of the Chancellor’s Office governing documents.
Students:
Admissions
requirements for students entering the program will continue to require
evidence of the ability to do graduate work through careful review of
applications according to high standards.
All department requirements are iterated in the full proposal for review
in section 5 beginning on page 24. In
keeping with the
Research Capacity:
The proposed program expectation is that core doctoral faculty will have 3 units of release time each semester to devote to their scholarship. In addition they will have the responsibility of mentoring student doctoral projects/culminating experiences. Students are expected to become critical consumers of research literature and to be proficient with deriving evidence for clinical decision-making. This expectation is reinforced throughout the curriculum and with doctoral projects/culminating experiences. The department currently has space that is adequate to accommodate the research needs of faculty and students.
Internal Funding and Resources:
Internal funding resources arise from the usual sources: marginal cost funding from the state and student fees. The chart below identifies the 5 year projected budget with resultant gains expected. More complete information about this is addressed in the full proposal beginning on page 37.

IMPLEMENTATION OF KBOX |
The Faculty Senate recommends an alternative approach to the monitoring and reporting needs associated with IRT’s KBox implementation plan be recommended to the President for consideration:
The alternative approach:
·
IRT
in consultation with College and Library Deans and the Academic IT Committee
identify and document the specific security and appropriate usage needs that
will be met through the remote monitoring and access capabilities provided by
IRT’s intended use of KBox as a System Management
Appliance.
·
Colleges
and the Library Deans be given the option of meeting
these needs locally or ceding that responsibility to IRT. Those that choose the local option will
assume the responsibility of providing IRT with the appropriate information
that ensures that the security and appropriate use of IT resources are being
maintained.
·
The
decision on which System Management Appliance to be purchased by those that
select the self-monitoring option be based on the specific security and
appropriate usage needs and that different alternatives be considered (Altiris Endpoint Management, Kaseya
IT Department Edition, KBox, LANDesk Management
Suite, Microsoft Systems Management Server, etc.).
· Kbox administration concerns

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WORKGROUP, ENDORSEMENT OF |
The Faculty Senate endorses the establishment of a Learning Management System workgroup, as described below:
Charge: The workgroup advises both the
Provost and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) on matters related to changes
in the campus Learning Management System (LMS) as Sacramento State transitions
its LMS (SacCT) from WebCT
to Blackboard Learn. The workgroup has no policy-making capacity. Policy issues
of a shared- governance nature that may arise from LMS Workgroup discussions
will be referred to the Faculty Senate.
The
responsibilities of the workgroup include:
·
Evaluating potential features of Blackboard Learn that should or should
not be adopted at Sacramento State.
·
Evaluating the potential campus impact of Blackboard Learn 9 upgrades
(hardware & software), new feature releases, service packs, and updates.
·
Facilitating consultation among and integration of various perspectives on
LMS transition: users, system administration, and support.
·
Providing clarification and advice on such LMS transition issues as
migration timeline and course migration (with shared governance issues going to
Faculty Senate).
·
Facilitating test groups of faculty members regarding development and
evaluation of training materials to support and facilitate teaching and
learning elements of LMS transition.
Duration: Workgroup will function from
present until the end of the fall 2012 semester, at which time the LMS
transition is expected to be complete.
Meetings: It is anticipated that the LMS
Workgroup will meet every other week initially. Much Workgroup activity will
occur via electronic means.

AIRC
1016 be available for student use at
times when the classroom is not scheduled to be “closed for testing”.
·
Notices
be appropriately displayed to inform student when AIRC
1016 will be “closed for testing”.

Data
be collected during the fall and spring semesters to assess the usability of ARC 1016 and
the need for dedicating additional facilities for one-time uses in meeting the
instructional needs for administering exams for large on-line and
hybrid classes.
·
IRT
provide regular maintenance to ensure
that sufficient numbers of workstations
in AIRC 1016 are available for use on days when the classroom is scheduled to
be “closed for testing”.
