This course is an introduction to fluid power systems involving pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical control. This course satisfies 5 embedded hours toward specified programs and certificates for AAS Human Relations, 5 embedded hours toward specified programs and certificates for AAS Math, and 5 embedded hours toward specified programs and certificates for AAS Science General Education requirements
This course is designed to apply concepts learned from the first semester of the paramedic program and incorporate the knowledge gained in that time to a set number of hours in field time with an assigned agency and clinical time in an assigned hospital. This will help students practically apply their knowledge and skills to build on their experience and critical thinking skills for the second semester. This course satisfies 12 embedded hours toward specified programs and certificates for AAS Human Relations General Education requirements.
A planned clinical experience is provided which gives the student the opportunity to improve and perfect clinical skills while applying theoretical principles to radiographic procedures being performed under supervision of the clinical staff. Progression in the program is dependent on the student demonstrating clinical competence on a specified number of competency evaluations (the number to be identified in the syllabus) and demonstrating continued competence on examinations in which competence has already been demonstrated.
A course designed wherein students will apply knowledge to real life situations in cooperation with the clinical education site and a faculty advisor to maximize learning experiences. A planned clinical experience is provided which gives the student the opportunity to demonstrate clinical skills in performing competency examinations in accordance to ARRT specifications in advanced modalities such as MRI, CT, Mammography, CVI, etc. These skills should include analysis, synthesis and evaluation of the examinations performed. Competency evaluations are based on ARRT standards for the specific modality in which the student is applying for advanced certification.
This is the final course in a two-part series focusing on Inter-professional education. This course is designed to give students the opportunity to take concepts learned in DH 410 Foundations of Inter-professional Collaborative Practice and apply skills and knowledge during external clinical enrichment rotations in the community. Clinical rotation sites may include but are not limited to, hospitals, medical offices, short and long-term care facilities. This course will give the students the opportunity to present their inter-professional collaborative practice team experience to their classmates as a way of self-reflective practice to improve upon professional growth.
An externship allowing students to participate in every aspect of a companion animal, food animal and equine practices. Students will participate in all aspects of a working clinic, under direct supervision. Externships will allow valuable exposure to the reception area, treatment and surgical areas, radiology, laboratory, kennel and stables. Prerequisite: Completion of all required courses in the veterinary nursing program.
This course enables students to supplement coursework with practical work experience. Students will observe the daily functions of a variety of area veterinary hospitals and practice the skills of a veterinary assistant under direct supervision. Students have a set rotation schedule for attendance at a specific facility on a weekly basis. The schedule may include weekend rotations.
A planned clinical experience is provided which gives the student increased responsibility to function more independently under direct and/or indirect supervision while performing radiographic procedures. Progression in the program is dependent on the student demonstrating clinical competence on a specified number of competency evaluations (the number to be identified in the syllabus) and demonstrating continued competence on examinations in which competence has already been demonstrated.
A planned clinical experience is provided which gives the student the opportunity to build upon previous clinical experience and apply theoretical principles while performing radiographic procedures under supervision of the clinical staff. Progression in the program is dependent on the student demonstrating clinical competence on a specified number of competency evaluations (the number to be identified in the syllabus) and demonstrating continued competence on examinations in which competence has already been demonstrated.
