1.00 Credits
The course content is presented in two parts: general pathology and neoplasia. General pathology introduces basic disease concepts, theories of disease causation and system-by-system pathophysiologic disorders most frequently encountered in clinical practice. Neoplasia provides an in-depth study of new and abnormal development of cells. The processes involved in the development and classification of both benign and malignant tumors and site-specific information on malignant tumors is presented. Content is designed to study normal sectional anatomy via diagrams and radiologic images. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-RT program.
-
2.00 Credits
Content is designed to establish a basic knowledge of physics pertinent to developing an understanding of radiations used in the clinical setting. Fundamental physical units, measurements, principles, atomic structure, and types of radiation are emphasized. Also presented are the fundamentals of x-ray generating equipment, x-ray production, and its interaction with matter. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-RT program.

3.00 Credits
Designed for the Biology/Pre-Professional major, this course is structured with focus on medical physiology. All major organ systems are covered as well as an in-depth analysis of the maintenance of acid-base balance as a consequence of renal and respiratory interplay. Students will examine each independent system beginning at the cellular level, followed by organ/system function, and their learning experience will culminate with the complete multi-system functioning of the entire organism. Emphasis is on the normal, non-diseased state. Prerequisite: 02-355.
-
1.00 Credits
Designed to be taken in conjunction with Advanced Clinical Physiology (02-335), this non-traditional laboratory component looks at issues in medical physiology and systems function using the case study approach. Students are given medical/laboratory data from a "patient" and asked to apply knowledge of cell/organ/system function as well as feedback loops to provide potential diagnoses and treatment regimens. Cases are modeled after USMLE Step I (Clinical Board) testing. Lecture notes and outside readings provide the basis for assignments and discussion each class period. Prerequisite: 02-355. Prerequisite: 02-355.
-
3.00 Credits
Content is designed to provide sequential development, application, analysis, integration, synthesis, and evaluation of concepts and theories in radiation therapy. Through structured sequential assignments in clinical facilities, concepts of team practice, patient-centered clinical practice, and professional development shall be discussed, examined, and evaluated. This includes supervised clinical education, which offers a sufficient and well-balanced variety of radiation treatments, examinations, and equipment. Various rotations include: three general radiation therapy treatment rooms, Simulator/CT Simulator, Nursing Department, and Physics/Dosimetry Department. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-RT program.
-
2.00 Credits
Study of root words, prefixes, and suffixes of the medical vocabulary, including singular and plural endings, abbreviations, and applicable symbols. Emphasis is on application of terminology through the use of chapter objectives, learning exercises, and critical thinking exercises. As an independent study, students may choose to progress more rapidly than the assignment schedule outlines. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS or RT program, consent of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Content is designed to establish a knowledge base in factors that govern and influence the production and recording of radiographic images for patient simulation, treatment planning, and treatment verification in radiation oncology. Radiation oncology imaging equipment and related devices will be emphasized. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-RT program.
-
2.00 Credits
Content is designed to provide student with an overview of the foundations, concepts, and theories in nuclear medicine technology and radiation therapy and the practitioner's role in the healthcare delivery system. The interrelatedness of standards of care, law, ethical standards, and medical terminology ( a foundation in the standardized language of medical practice, including its abbreviations and symbols). Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT or BS-RT program.
-
2.00 Credits
Study of anatomy of the abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic cavities, the extremities, and the cervical area. Focus is on the cross-sectional and 3-dimensional relationships. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS program, consent of the instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Supervised practice and procedures for the receipt, handling, transporting, storage, usage, record keeping, disposal, and decontamination of radioactive materials. Emphasis on licensing and regulations set forth by local, state, and federal agencies. Academic and clinical instruction provides students with radiation safety techniques to minimize exposure to patients, the public, fellow workers, and themselves. Regulations regarding therapeutic dosages and follow-up procedures are also considered. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT or BS-RT program.
