Description:

4 credits This course includes the first supervised clinical experience by registered diagnostic medical sonographers in a diagnostic ultrasound imaging department of a hospital or clinic. The student will develop competencies in professional qualities particular to health care services, interpretation of medical requests, patient history intake, briefing, and preparation. Ultrasound scanning protocols appropriate to the patient's clinical status are learned while normal and abnormal anatomy is recognized and produced with a beginner's "hands-on" imaging experience. The student assumes accountability through accurate documentation and verification of professional qualities and clinical development as determined by the SCAN. Meticulous attention to this tool sponsored by the S.D.M.S. Educational Foundation represents the backbone of this competency-based training and is a critical requirement for success in the program. Co-requisites: DMS200, 201,202.
