Faculty Perceptions of Facilitators and Barriers in Holistic Admissions for Graduate Clinical Health Professions Programs

Purpose: To promote holistic admissions, the focus was on graduate clinical health professions faculty’s perceptions of facilitators and barriers in admissions practices. This evaluation sought to add to existing knowledge of how current holistic practices could be best utilized and implemented in the College of Public Health to effectively support staff and students involved in these programs. Methods: An anonymous online survey was distributed to the graduate clinical programs within the College of Public Health. The invitation to participate in the survey included the link to the survey, which consisted of 17 multiple choice questions. This was aimed at gaining knowledge of faculty’s knowledge, attitude, and practices related to holistic admissions. Results: Faculty knowledge, attitudes, and practices of holistic admissions were analyzed using a KAP-based survey. Results indicated faculty perceptions and values being positively aligned with CPH’s, but also needs such as increased time, resources, and a more comprehensive model.
