- To measure the impact on healthcare-related certification and employment rates.
Main Methods:
- A comparative case study analyzed two undergraduate interior design capstone cohorts.
- One cohort followed the existing curriculum; the other used a revised curriculum focused on healthcare design practice.
Main Results:
- The revised curriculum cohort achieved a 30% increase in Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification exam pass rates.
- This cohort also demonstrated a 40% increase in healthcare-related internships and employment within three months of graduation.
Conclusions:
- The revised curriculum shows promise for preparing interior design students for healthcare environments.
- This approach can enhance professional competence and attitudes, improving quality of life through better healthcare space design.
