3.00 - 36.00 Credits
Provides the student with the opportunity to gain experience in a simulated or actual work setting. Students will be placed in an approved setting(s) throughout the quarter where planning, implementing, observing, and evaluating activities are the focus of their involvement. An evaluation procedure will be used by the designee of the institution and the on-site supervisor to critique the student's performance. Topics include: problem solving, use of proper interpersonal skills, application of developmentally appropriate practice, professional development, and resource file (portfolio) development.
-

(Prerequisites: AHS 1011 or BIO 2113 and 2114, AHS 104, AHS 109, ENG 1010 or ENG 1101, MAT 1012 or MAT 1111, PSY 1010, SCT 100. Corequisite: ECG 105) Introduces the fundamental concepts of electrocardiography. Topics include: cardiovascular anatomy, physiology of cardiac conduction and the normal electrocardiogram and its components.
-
8.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: AHS 1011 or BIO 2113 and 2114, AHS 104, AHS 109, ENG 1010 or ENG 1101, MAT 1012 or MAT 1111, PSY 1010, SCT 100. Corequisite: ECG 103) Provides practical experience in operating and maintaining electrocardiographic equipment and providing recorded data for diagnostic review. Topics include: basic operation and maintenance of electrocardiographic equipment, procedures for conducting ECG tests, and basic interpretations of electrocardiograms.
-
3.00 Credits
This course develops basic imaging skills by imaging normal hearts in the echocardiography lab. Topics include: role of the noninvasive cardiovascular technologist, echocardiographic examination, basic quantification calculations, professional conduct, and ethics.
-
3.00 Credits
Utilizes the fundamentals to evaluate acquired disease states. Incorporates all forms of noninvasive cardiovascular evaluation with emphasis on performance and interpretation of M-mode, 2- dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography. Topics include: cardiac chamber studies, hemodynamic correlates, valvular heart disease, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases, cardiac masses, and diseases of the aorta.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the clinical environment by assisting the technologist in the echocardiography lab in patient preparation and imaging while acquiring electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, stress testing, and pacemaker checks. Students will participate and perform (with assistance) procedures in noninvasive cardiology labs and imaging centers. Topics include: clinical environment; recording medical information; patient preparation for noninvasive cardiovascular treatment; medical ethics; performance of basic normal echo under guidance; proper positioning in Doppler, CW and color; and observation of TEE and stress echo.
-
8.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: AHS 102, DMS 202, ECH 131, ECH 136. Corequisite: 133) Provides hands-on experience in performing noninvasive cardiovascular procedures with emphasis on instrumentation and development of clinical techniques. Topics include: policies and procedures, echocardiographic instrumentation, recording patient information, patient preparation, and performing echocardiographic examinations.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AHS 104 CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111, VAS 110. Invasive Track Corequisite: CVT 102, CVT 104, CVT 108, CVT 109; Echocardiology Corequisite: CVT 104, CVT 108, CVT 109, DMS 136, ECH 155; Vascular Corequisite: CVT 104, DMS 133, DMS 136, ECH 155, VAS 141 ) The purpose of the Case Study is to provide the opportunity for review and reinforcement of theoretical concepts with an evaluation of Echocardiography. The purpose of the Journal Review is to allow the student to study the current formats and methods of professional articles/presentations of echocardiography. Students will be asked to prepare and present interesting case studies to include clinical history, normal anatomy, clinical laboratory test modalities, protocols, techniques and findings. Topics include: identification of resources, literature review, formatting according to audience, citation of sources, written presentation skills, and oral presentation skills. Emphasis is placed on professional growth and preparation to enter the field of echocardiography as a contributing member.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: ECH 133, ECH 137. Corequisite: ECH 236, 240 ) This course offers an introduction to congenital heart disease with instruction on transducer selection, patient care, surgical repair and palliative procedures. Topics include: cyanotic lesions, shunt lesions, sedation, transducer selection, Doppler color flow imaging, research methods, statistics, and quality improvement. Emphasis is placed on the latest modalities and specialties of noninvasive cardiac diagnostic study.
-
8.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: ECH 133, ECH 137. Corequisite: ECH 231, ECH 240) Provides hands-on experience in the clinical setting with an emphasis placed on the development of clinical techniques employed to obtain meaningful data. Continued participation by the student will progressively lead to the student performing diagnostic procedures with less assistance but under the supervision of an appropriately credentialed sonographer. Topics include: echocardiographic instrumentation, logging and reporting information, preparation for echocardiographic examinations, medical ethics, and performing echocardiographic procedures. Students may do a brief rotation through an invasive cardiology lab, pediatric lab and/or vascular lab.
