    This internship course is dedicated to field experience in a professional job situation and is recommended as a final semester course. Students arrange for placement at an internship site with the departmental supervisor in the semester previous to the actual internship. Site experience requires 120-150 hours, as well as a personal project related to the internship. Prerequisite: Advanced Video Production (VMA241) or permission of department chairperson.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will introduce the student to the field of vascular technology/ultrasound. Topics include the principles of sound, sound transmission and reflection, Doppler principles including spectral display, artifacts, and equipment performance. In addition to the previous mentioned topics, instruction will also include information regarding tissue mechanics, fluid dynamics with attention towards the pressure flow relationship, other testing modalities such as plethysmography, and bioeffects/quality assurance. Prerequisite: Admission into the Vascular Ultrasound Program or permission of Program Director.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will review the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral arterial system. Students will gain knowledge of the scanning/testing protocols for both upper and lower extremities. Instruction will be provided on direct and indirect methods of arterial testing such a 2D ultrasound, Doppler, Spectral Display, color Doppler and Pressure and Waveform analysis. In addition to learning about exam protocols the student will also be exposed to diagnostic criteria for assessing both normal and pathological findings. The student will also review a range of diagnostic and treatment options in the area of peripheral arterial disease. Prerequisite: Admission into the Vascular Ultrasound Program or permission of Program Director.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course introduces the students to the basic techniques of vascular ultrasound/testing and familiarizes the student with the equipment. Students will gain this knowledge through scanning and performing tests in the clinical setting under the supervision of the clinical instructor. Students will be expected to prepare patients for the appropriate exam and take a patient history. The student's performance shall be evaluated through clinical competencies, which the student must demonstrate to successfully complete Vascular Ultrasound Clinical I. This clinical will take place on 3 eight hour days per week. Prerequisites: Admission into the program with a letter of a secured clinical placement with an appropriately credentialed Vascular Technologist/Sonographer. Co-requisite: Vascular Principles and Instrumentation (VSN111) and Peripheral Arterial Testing (VSN113).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will review the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral venous system. Students will gain knowledge of the scanning/testing protocols for both upper and lower extremities including the deep and superficial venous systems. Instruction will be provided on such testing methods as 2D ultrasound, Doppler, Spectral Display, Color Doppler and Plethysmography. In addition to learning about exam protocols the student will be exposed to diagnostic criteria for assessing both normal and pathological findings. The student will also review a range of diagnostic and treatment options in the area of peripheral venous disease. Prerequisite: Peripheral Arterial Testing (VSN113).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will review the anatomy and physiology associated with cerebrovascular disease. Students will gain knowledge of the noninvasive ultrasound techniques used to evaluate the extra and intracranial circulation. Instruction will be provided on such testing methods as 2D ultrasound, Doppler, Spectral Display and TCD. In addition to learning about exam protocols the student will be exposed to diagnostic criteria for assessing both normal and pathological findings. The student will also review a range of diagnostic and treatment options in the area of cerebrovascular disease. Prerequisite: Peripheral Arterial Testing (VSN113) or permission of the Program Director.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a continuation of scanning and testing technique and interpretation of exams. Student's skill in performing vascular exams will be further defined. Students will continue to gain knowledge through scanning and testing patients at their clinical site under the supervision of the clinical instructor. The student's performance shall be evaluated through clinical competencies. This clinical will take place on 3 eight hour days per week. Prerequisite: Vascular Ultrasound Clinical I (VSN115) and a verified letter of clinical placement with an appropriate credentialed Vascular Technologist/Sonographer. Co-requisites: Peripheral Venous Testing (VSN211) and Cerebrovascular Testing (VSN213).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a continuation of scanning and testing technique and interpretation of exams. Students will continue to gain knowledge through scanning and testing patients. Students will be required to document their findings by writing concise preliminary findings under the direct supervision of their clinical instructor. Students will be expected to make clinical correlations and present findings to the appropriate medical personnel. The student's performance shall be evaluated through clinical competencies. It is recommended that this clinical take place on 4 eight-hour days. Prerequisites: Vascular Ultrasound Clinical II (VSN215) and a verified letter of clinical placement with an appropriate credentialed Vascular Technologist/Sonographer.
