The UAB School of Optometry offers three academic programs. These are its first professional degree program (Doctor of Optometry), its graduate programs in vision science, and its post-doctoral residency programs in seven specific clinical areas. The residency program results in the conferring of certificates rather than degrees.
The remainder of this self study report relates specifically to the UAB School of Optometry Professional Program.
The UAB School of Optometry publishes and maintains a current statement of its mission, goals and objectives. Its goals include teaching, research and scholarship, patient care and service. These goals provide emphasis to a professional program whose purpose is to produce graduates with the appropriate knowledge, skills and values required for entry-level practice of optometry as has been defined by the program. The School uses a variety of outcome measures to assess the program’s effectiveness and to modify it as necessary. The School has an ongoing process of planning and self-study that reviews its mission and the professional program’s goals and objectives on an annual basis and revises them as necessary.

Program’s definition of entry level
The mission, goals, and objectives give emphasis to a professional optometric degree program whose graduates possess the attributes, knowledge, skills, and ethical values required for entry level practice of optometry as defined by the School of Optometry. Indeed, the mission statement begins as follows:
“The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry adds value to the state of Alabama, the Southeast, the United States, and the world through excellent, effective, and efficient optometric and vision science education, . . .”.
Stemming from the mission statement, the following goals exhibit the School’s aforementioned commitment:
1. Prepare students
for excellence in the practice of optometry.
2. Instill in
students knowledge of the arts and sciences related to optometry.
3. Develop in
students interpersonal skills for the sensitive and responsive delivery of eye
care.
4. Prepare students
for lifelong career satisfaction.
5. Provide the
opportunity for students to develop their potential for leadership in their
profession and community.
6. Encourage and
support interdisciplinary programs of health care training and delivery
including eye care.
7. Develop programs
of community outreach.
8. Develop clinical
programs that serve the public with outstanding merit and recognized
excellence.
9. Create programs
of public and professional eye health education that will contribute to an
understanding of eye health problems and their prevention, diagnosis,
treatment, management, and rehabilitation.
10. Prepare
clinicians for careers in specialty service or education.
11. Provide resources to stimulate faculty and students in
the pursuit of new knowledge in clinical eye care, in basic vision science, and
in public health and community aspects of eye care.
12. Prepare vision scientists for careers in vision research
and education.
Fulfillment of the objectives related to each goal listed above
allows the School to produce graduates who possess the attributes, knowledge,
skills and ethical values required for entry level defined by the School.
The School has defined basic competency for entry-level optometrists as the knowledge, cognitive and motor skills and professional and ethical values required of its graduates.
A document entitled “Basic
Competency for Entry-Level Optometrists” was created by the School’s
Curriculum Committee and approved by the Executive Committee in 1999. The condensed
version of the document is posted on the School’s website at http://main.uab.edu/Sites/optometry/about/programs/9696/
and in the UABSO Catalog on page 10. An expanded
version of the document is also available.
In summary, the Basic
Competency for Entry-Level Optometrists requires that:
“These individuals {i.e., the entry-level optometrists} must be capable of independent optometric practice and demonstrate the following:
· Knowledge of basic biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences, especially as it relates to vision and the eye;
· Cognitive and motor skills; and,
· Professional and ethical values.”
The document further specifies seven areas of
knowledge and skill and three areas of professional and ethical values required
of graduates of the School.
Knowledge & Skill
Knowledge is understanding a given area. The entry-level optometrist must be knowledgeable in the basic biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences, especially as they relate to vision. Skill is ability, proficiency or expertise in using knowledge to perform within a certain context. The entry-level optometrist must have appropriate cognitive and motor skills in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of clinical conditions within the scope of optometric practice. These include:
· systemic conditions and processes which relate to vision
· ocular conditions and processes
· optics and lens systems and their application to vision
· anomalies of vision using contact lenses
· sensory and motor processes of vision
· public health, ethical, legal and administrative issues as applied to optometry
· issues concerning clinical care of patients.
Professional and Ethical
Values
Professional and ethical values describe qualities necessary for the full and appropriate application of knowledge and skills to the scope of optometric practice.
The entry-level optometrist must demonstrate appropriate:
·
personal professional and personal ethical
values
·
values towards people
·
community-related values
The document contains two additional levels of
detail that develop these competencies to a degree appropriate for assessment
and course outlines. Defined by the
Curriculum Committee over a period of approximately one year, this document was
developed subsequent to an examination of the content of current courses in the
professional program curriculum of the School, the content outline for all
parts of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry examinations, the
Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) Basic Competency for
Entry-level Optometrists and vigorous discussions of faculty in the
School. The Curriculum Committee uses
the Basic Competency document in its ongoing assessment and modification of the
professional program.
The Curriculum Committee is involved in the continual process of integrating
the current professional program courses to this basic competency document. This
ongoing process is designed to provide a frame of reference for the Committee
in assessing the content of all courses offered in the professional program.

Analysis of outcome measures
·
Description of actions taken as a result of analysis
The School currently uses a variety of outcome measures to assess its
effectiveness and to improve its performance. Annual evaluations are performed
by the Curriculum Committee, the Strategic Planning Committee and the Offices
of the Provost and President through the School’s Scorecard.
The Strategic Planning Committee performs a regular review of the
program’s outcomes measures to determine the extent to which its goals and
objectives have been met. The Committee’s
most recent report covered the period from October 2006 through July 2008. The report dated July 30, 2008 and titled Strategic Planning
Committee Review, indicates that “all goals and objectives were
fulfilled and no program modifications are needed” (see Standard
1.5 for more details).
The Curriculum Committee is primarily responsible for the outcomes
assessment process for the professional program. The Committee utilizes the tools listed below
to help track the achievement of curricular goals and objectives. These tools ensure that graduates of the
professional program are meeting specific basic competencies as outlined in the
“Basic Competency for Entry-level Optometrists”.
1. Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) Surveys: The School requires that SET questionnaires be completed by each student at the end of the term before they are permitted to take final exams or receive final grades. These surveys cover instructors, coursemasters, didactic and clinic courses. Students are considered to be a valuable source for judging teaching effectiveness.
2. National Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) Scores: NBEO examinations are designed by nationally recognized panels to assess a candidate’s knowledge and skill in specific curricular areas. UABSO considers NBEO performance to be a key indicator of student achievement of curricular outcomes. Students are required to pass Parts I and II of the NBEO Examination prior to graduation.
3. Externship Preceptor Grades and Surveys: Externship preceptors are in a unique position to judge student effectiveness in a well-defined clinical setting external to the institution. External practitioners often present a more impartial opinion of a student’s abilities, due in part, to the short duration of the externship.
4. Student Exit Interviews and Surveys: This process provides an opportunity to examine program effectiveness from a graduating student’s perspective.
The School does not utilize state licensing and career placement information as part of the outcomes assessment process. State licensing statistics are not, to the School’s knowledge, published or accessible in one location. However, in view of the fact that nearly 50% of the School’s professional program graduates take the Alabama Board Examination, the School does have access to that information. The Alabama Board of Optometry provides unnamed results of overall pass/fail rates upon request. Only one UABSO graduate did not pass the Alabama Board Examination in the past seven years.
Each year, the UABSO Alumni Office assists the Professional Development Program (PDP) by surveying graduates who have been out of school for one year. The survey asks questions about their expectations, practice demographics, indebtedness, and what the school could have done to better prepare them for practice. Statistical data from these surveys is shared with students in the PDP.
In 2002, the University of Alabama at Birmingham implemented a “scorecard” system for measuring outcomes of all school/units on campus as well as the University as a whole. The School of Optometry scorecard includes the following areas:
· First Professional Student Education
· Graduate Education
· Research and Scholarship
· Service to Community and State
· Community/Financial Support
· Work Environment
Each category includes a number of areas in which the School has been given a goal. A partial list of examples includes student enrollment and demographics, graduation rates, NBEO results, research funding, faculty publications, community vision screenings and financial support. The School’s administration is held accountable for the achievement of each goal and exceptions require a written explanation to the university provost, president and the UA Board of Trustees. The scorecard is available to the public on line at: http://www.iss.uab.edu/Scorecards/opt.pdf
Both the Curriculum and Strategic Planning Committees use the scorecard to help in their outcome assessments. In addition, they communicate with each other to ensure that they are in agreement when areas of concern are identified, suggested solutions formulated and the necessary change implemented.
One example of the Curriculum Committee using the assessment of outcome measures to implement change was in the Public Health curriculum. Below average performance by the students on the Public Health portion of NBEO brought about an extensive review of the existing Public Health courses. An external peer review committee was named, which included faculty members in this subject area from other schools of optometry. The committee report, which included a review of the Public Health course content, was presented to the Curriculum Committee in January 2007. The report resulted in development of two new courses and coursemasters – Public Health I (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) and Public Health II (Health Policy and Environmental Vision). It is anticipated that these changes will improve NBEO scores.
Standard II of this Self-Study report addresses other changes to the curriculum that were based on assessment findings.

name and program in the student newsletter, Eye Witness
News. In the residency match for 2008-2009, 41% of
UABSO graduates were selected for residency programs. Student award winners are recognized
throughout the year by email to all faculty, staff and students. In addition, they are published in the student
newsletter (Eye

The
UABSO is planning its first Scholarship Recognition Reception in March
2009. The purpose of this reception will
be to recognize each recipient of the professional program’s significant annual
as well as its endowed scholarships. In
addition, the donors of these scholarships will be invited to meet the
scholarship recipient. This special
event will also serve to assist the school in fulfilling its commitment to
stewardship for its donors.
The
school currently has 30 endowed scholarships of which 23 are fully funded; the
remainder are progressing towards full funding.

The Strategic Planning Committee is responsible for reviewing the vision, mission, goals and objectives of the School. The Committee was introduced as a permanent part of the School’s organizational structure in 2002. The initial Committee was co-chaired by the two Department Chairs (Drs. Jimmy Bartlett and Paul Gamlin). Dr. Joe Fleming served as chair from 2005-2007. In 2006, the Committee rewrote the School’s mission statement and reviewed the goals and objectives.
The Committee completed its most recent review on July 30, 2008 and produced a report that detailed specific outcomes for each objective. It is the Committee’s responsibility to determine if any changes are to be made to the vision and mission statements. Likewise it can, if necessary, redefine the goals or objectives, and make recommendations to the Curriculum Committee for curricular changes to help achieve the new goal/objective. The most recent review found that all objectives were fulfilled during the past year and “no program modifications are needed”. Strategic Planning Committee reports prior to July 2008 are available for review on site.

School Survey Outcomes
Survey Questions Relating to 1.5 (Goals for
Practice)
As part of the self-study process, UABSO stakeholders were asked to complete an online survey. The stakeholders surveyed included all alumni, all faculty, all staff, and students in the classes of 2009, 2010, and 2011. Two questions were directly related to Standard I.
|
“The
School is achieving (alumni "achieved") its goal to prepare
students for excellence in the practice of optometry.” The mean score is based on the following scale: Strongly Agree = 5, Agree = 4, Neutral = 3,
Disagree = 2, Strongly Disagree = 1, Cannot Make a Judgment = omitted. % J = percentage of respondents who “could
make a judgment” (that is, had the requisite knowledge or experience of the
subject of the question to make an informed judgment). All percentage values were
rounded to the nearest whole number. Raw

Alumni responses to both questions were limited to: Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly disagree. Faculty, staff and students had an additional option: Cannot make a judgment.
Responses to this question were very favorable, with 96% of faculty, 98% of alumni, 92% of students and 97% of staff answering with a “strongly agree” or “agree”. This equates to mean scores of 4.42, 4.55, 4.33 and 4.41 respectively. Sixteen percent of the staff felt they could not make a judgment. Alumni have consistently agreed over the years that the school is achieving its goal to prepare students for excellence in the practice of optometry.

Responses to this question were somewhat less positive. The mean score for alumni was less than 3.00 (2.90), while faculty and students were 3.86 and 3.36, respectively. The question was not presented to staff. The more favorable response by faculty and current students versus alumni may be due to the introduction of the Professional Development Program in 2001. A formal process for career planning and placement was not available for many of the alumni.
