Augusta Technical College's Medical Terminology for Allied Health Sciences
Receives Quality Matters Certification for Course Design Quality
Augusta, GA - September 16, 2025
Augusta Technical College’s ALHS 1090 - Medical Terminology for Allied Health Sciences, earned the Quality Matters (QM) Certification Mark following a rigorous review process. The QM Certification Mark is the internationally recognized symbol of online and blended course design quality and represents ATC’s ongoing commitment to creating learning environments that provide learners with a clear pathway to success.
The certification is the result of ATC’s dedication to continuous improvement, including the innovative work of Alberta Mobley, Department Head of Health Care Assisting, in the School of Health Sciences. The course is now listed on the QM directory of certified courses.
According to Instructor Mobley, "I am truly overjoyed by successfully completing the Quality Review process for a second time. This opportunity gave me another chance to create a course designed to make sure students have a clear and consistent learning experience."
The QM Official Review provided independent validation of the quality, learner-focused course design found in ALHS 1090. Reviews are conducted by QM-Certified Reviewers and use the Quality Matters Rubric and associated Standards, which are based on research and best practices. A course earns the QM Certification Mark once it meets QM Rubric Standards at the 85% threshold or better and meets all Essential Standards.
