Update - Tuesday, January 26, 2010

The Medical Assistant alignment process is temporarily on hold, to allow the addressing of questions posed by several institutions. A slightly revised listing of courses designated as "core" vs courses designated as "flex" has been sent to all members of the curiculum committee. This revised list simply moves some courses from core to flex, thus allowing more institutional flexibility. Upon obtaining feedback from the committee members, the process will again move forward, with the next step consisting of seeking input and review by institutional administrators.
