-
2.00 Credits
Designed to familiarize students with pathology, injuries, and diseases of the human body commonly encountered in a variety of imaging modalities. Research and team skills are enhanced through group projects. Includes review of the radiologic technologist's role in modification of routines in imaging and treatment of the patient with pathologic conditions.
-
2.00 Credits
An in-depth study of radiation protection and the biological effects of radiation exposure. A re-emphasis of radiation safety for the patient and personnel. Also included is registry preparation through comprehensive reviews.
-
6.00 Credits
Provides additional experience in a clinical education setting. Under indirect supervision, students will continue to perform and document exams in which competency has already been achieved. Demonstration of competency will be required in additional procedures performed under direct supervision. Students will be assigned approximately 37.5 hours per week in a clinical education setting on day and evening shifts.
-
2.00 Credits
An in-depth study of radiation concepts and radiobiology. An overview of special X-ray equipment and mammography will be included. The effects of radiation on the human body will be explored including personnel and patient exposure and the minimization of both.
-
8.00 Credits
Provides additional opportunities for practical experience in a clinical education setting. Students continue to perform competencies obtained through Practicums I and II under indirect supervision, focusing on proficiency. Students will be given the opportunity to achieve competency in more difficult procedures performed routinely in medical imaging, under direct supervision. Clinical assignments total approximately 30 hours per week on day and evening shifts and may include modality rotations.
-
8.00 Credits
Provides students with practical experience in diagnostic radiology and special modalities within medical imaging. Students will continue to perform all previously achieved competencies under indirect supervision, and will complete remaining required competencies under direct supervision. Successful completion of this course, as well as RAD 251 and 281, will ensure that the student has been given the opportunity to meet or exceed entry-level technologist requirements. Clinical assignments total approximately 30 hours per week on day and evening shifts and will include modality rotations.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals of Respiratory Care I provides an introduction to respiratory care as a profession, credentialing and licensure. Basic respiratory care procedures, medical terminology, communication, legal and ethical aspects of patient care, patient's rights, vital signs, body mechanics, isolation, disinfection, and sterilization will be presented. The course will also review the production, storage, and safety of medical gases and piping systems. Gas laws and gas physics will be discussed as they relate to respiratory care. Oxygen, hyperbaric, helium-oxygen, and carbon dioxide-oxygen therapies will be presented as well as humidity and aerosolized medication therapies, basic patient assessment, the effects of altitude on patient care and the effects of smoking. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab per week.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals of Respiratory Care II presents basic respiratory care modalities such as hyperinflation and bronchial hygiene therapies, and the equipment needed to perform the procedures. Additionally, sputum collection and the effects of aging on patient care will be reviewed. Common laboratory values, thoracic imaging and airway devices will be reviewed. (Prerequisites: A "C" or better must have been achieved in RCT 101, BIOL 2010 and MATH 1130 or MATH 1530 or MATH 1710.) 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab per week.
-
2.00 Credits
The Respiratory Care Pharmacology course involves the study of different classes of drugs that affect the cardio-respiratory system. Pharmacodynamics, routes of administration, and drug calculations are included. Indications, mode of action, adverse reactions, and assessment of effectiveness will be reviewed for each drug class. (Prerequisites: RCT 101, BIOL 2010, and MATH 1130 or MATH 1530 or MATH 1710.)
-
4.00 Credits
Intensive Care Monitoring involves the study of basic dysrhythmias and their effects on the body and includes hemodynamic assessment and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) provider training will be provided. (Prerequisites: BIOL 2020 and 2230; RCT 102, 120 and 191.) 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab per week.
