NUC 260 - Clinical Practicum I

Institution:

Columbus State Community College

Subject:

Description:

In this first clinical practicum, the student will rotate through clinical hospitals and private offices and, while accompanied by a registered Nuclear Medicine Technologist, will become familiar with the care and positioning of the patient and camera. Proficiency requirements are completed using a competency-based format. Students are required to complete a portion of the “Required and Elective Procedures” list that will be reviewed at the completion of each practicum course. This “Required and Elective Procedures” list will need to be 100% completed by the end of Clinical Practicum V. A special form will be utilized to allow the student to list how the study was conducted. This same form will be utilized in the “Projects in Nuclear Medicine” class. Technologist film critique and physician interpretation are incorporated into the form to provide a correlation of all factors that comprise a finished nuclear medicine image(s) to include an analysis of the structure or organ that was imaged/counted, patient positioning, radiation protection, and date processing. A one hour weekly seminar is included in this course.
