1.00 Credits
This capstone course serves as the culmination of the Lackawanna College learning experience for business and accounting bachelor students. Practical exercises and assignments will provide realistic opportunities for students to assemble professional materials and demonstrate their preparation for success in post-college employment and/or future education. (1 credit)
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents leadership theories and concepts that have emerged over the past several decades. It provides students the opportunity to apply these theories through case analysis and hands on learning and, to enhance personal skill development through self-assessment. Students will examine current leaders and contemporary perspectives on ethics and social responsibilty, organizational culture and design, diversity, business strategy selection, and crisis management. (3 credits)
-
1.00 Credits
Beginning students in the Cardiac Sonography program will gain basic entry-level knowledge of the field of Cardiac Sonography. This integrated clinical rotation along with in-house lab time will introduce the students to all areas of the cardiac laboratory and will include an introduction to equipment and basic scanning techniques through observation and minimal hands-on instruction. Students will meet monthly throughout the semester in group meetings for one hour to compare and contrast individual experiences in the clinical rotation. (1 Credit)
-
3.00 Credits
Students with some working knowledge of the equipment utilized in the Cardiac Laboratory will gain basic entry-level knowledge of the overall operation and function of the Cardiac Lab. Through hands-on experience, the student will learn how the Cardiac Lab functions in the overall assessment and treatment of individuals with suspected or documented cardiac disorders. Students will demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and proficiency in the use of quantitative principles applied to the echocardiogram and flow data including M-mode, two-dimensional imaging, and Doppler (pulsed-wave, continuous wave, color flow and power). The student will apply application of the ultrasound utilities, transducer selection, and preparation and positioning for cardiac examination. Students will document normal findings of the echocardiogram and Doppler flow. Students will identify, recognize, and appropriately document abnormal echocardiogram and Doppler patterns of disease and pathophysiology listed. (3 Credits)
-
2.00 Credits
Students in this course will learn the sonographic applications of cardiac imaging of the adult heart and the responsibility while preparing for the transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). The student will learn application of the ultrasound machine, transducer selection, and preparation and positioning for cardiac examination. Students will be able to demonstrate normal anatomy of the adult heart by utilizing 2D imaging, Color Doppler flow techniques, M-mode applications, routine valve calculations, cardiac dimensions, and diastolic function parameters through the appropriate cardiac imaging planes and windows. (2 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course will have an understanding of the etiologies, clinical manifestations, morphological changes, and sequelae and typical pathways of cardiac diseases covered in this section. Of course the focus will be on the role of the sonographer and echocardiography in identifying and assessing these diseases. Be aware that the pathology dealt with in this section will intersect with that covered in Pathophysiology I; this redundancy (review) is necessary and intentional. Over the course of the class, a large amount of information on cardiac pathophysiology that was not covered in the first section will be presented with using a traditional teaching style. This includes lecture and reviews, scrutiny of still images and echo clips, frequent testing, a student presentation and creation of an outline. Any additional resources will be provided by the instructor, but is recommended that the student consult additional general texts on cardiac disease while preparing their outlines and presentation. (3 Credits)
-
2.00 Credits
Students will learn the concept and skill to perform and read an ECG examination through classroom study and clinical experience. Students will learn the background needed to perform an ECG through recognition of heart anatomy and physiology, including biomechanics and electrophysiology. Students will be able to perform a 12-lead and 3-lead ECG through knowledge of limb and chest leads, electrode placement, and cable connections. Students will be able to analysis normal and abnormal types of rhythms, pacemaker rhythm, and myocardial infarct seen on ECG tracings. (2 Credits)
-
15.00 Credits
Having completed both the observational and limited hands-on scanning during clinical rotations, in conjunction with successful completion of all core ultrasound and general education courses, the student will now focus on obtaining entry-level skills and knowledge in the Cardiac Lab. In this final semester, the students will undertake intensive clinical training utilizing all prior skills obtained in didactic and practical application. The student will refine scanning skills and gain experience. Execution of sonographic examinations will be performed under direct and indirect supervision of the qualified clinical instructor. The student will be solely in the clinical environment preparing for their future career. By integrating didactic and laboratory skills learned in the classroom and lab, the student will improve their practical skills and overall knowledge necessary to obtain an entry-level position in the field of Cardiac Sonography. (15 Credits)

2.00 Credits
Students in this course will continue to advance in the sonographic applications of cardiac imaging of the adult heart and the responsibility while preparing for the transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Students will demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and proficiency in the use of quantitative principles applied to the echocardiogram and flow data. The student will apply application of the ultrasound utilities, transducer selection, and preparation and positioning for cardiac examination. Students will be able to demonstrate normal anatomy of the adult heart by utilizing 2D imaging, Color Doppler flow techniques, M-mode applications, routine valve calculations, cardiac dimensions, and diastolic function parameters through the appropriate cardiac imaging planes and windows. In addition, students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of clinical cardiology. Students will be able to relate the cardiac echocardiogram to the patients history and physical examination including diagnosis for the exam, and differential diagnosis. Students will also demonstrate the knowledge of other cardiac procedures including Transesophageal echo (TEE), stress testing, contrast echo, cardiac catheterization, intraoperative echocardiography, three-dimensional, Echo-guided procedures, radionuclide studies and other tomographic imaging procedures. (2 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Students will obtain the framework of Doppler Physics, intracardiac flow patterns with disease, indications for echocardiography, and identification of cardiac pathologies seen on an echocardiogram. Students will be able to list, describe and identify the basic principles for echocardiographic evaluation of that disease category along with the approach and differential diagnosis. Students will also learn the quantitative evaluations used in echocardiography. (3 Credits)
