Self-assessment with YHU quality assurance tool at the Human Resources Department
On 12 June, the Human Resources Department had quality assessment discussions with the participation of the head of the department M. Ghazaryan, Development and Training Coordinator E. Kazhoyan, teachers and trainers H. Yepremyan and A. Shamyar, as well as Vice-rector for Development and Education Quality Assurance H. Kazhoyan, and Development and Quality Assurance Coordinator M.

The participants discussed and summarised their standards-related observations. They decided to make changes, including those in the following areas:
- training teachers and students on the effective use of the simulation centre
- the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) preparation
- training on the University’s strategic goals, study programmes, the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) and the Recognition of Prior Learning and Work Experience (APEL) system
- monitoring and discussion of SPs with group leaders
- conducting a student survey on teaching efficiency
- conducting professional orientation conversations
- more international meetings and networking for the professional development of teaching staff
- creation of a student support department
- contracts with clinics, NGOs, or other organizations, e.g., treatment at university clinics or home care services provided by YHU students under the supervision of teaching staff.
The annual self-assessment cycle aims to identify strengths and weaknesses and make improvements.
