Southern Maine Community College

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is twofold: 1) as a continuation of Clinical Practicum I V for the 24 month students; and 2) as a continuation of Clinical Practicums IV and V for students in Advanced Standing. Students will benefit from the summer internship by participating in patient care, providing treatment planning and delivering a planned course of radiation therapy under direct and indirect supervision. The team approach should provide an atmosphere where students can grow in self confidence, precision and accuracy in delivering a planned course of radiation therapy. In addition, students shall demonstrate the following skills: 1) technical skills (quality and quantity of work); 2) dosimetric and treatment planning skills (clinical applications); and 3) nursing skills (psychological and routine nursing skills). At this level, the advanced standing student will be evaluated on overall clinical competency and a decision will be made as to whether an additional three months of clinical experience is necessary for advanced standing students only. Prerequisite(s): RDT 209.
