All health science programs are required by accreditation standards to report proper credit for the participation of all faculty (with proper credentials). However, the mapping of health science curriculum participation by clinical faculty has been inaccurately represented in these reports. Unlike lectures, where all students are involved at the same time with the same faculty member(s), clinical encounters involve differing clinical times, complexities and faculty. ECU Patented a process (U.S. Patent 10,878,359) for mathematically calculating an accurate reporting of clinical faculty participation in the curriculum that satisfies institutional accreditation and provides data for faculty promotion and tenure.
