Each class consists of group discussions and critiques to further explore the topics. This approach allows observational and interpretive skills to evolve so that students can develop a more discerning eye and keener judgment when scanning. Course Prerequisite: Module IV. This sonography course, part of a series of classes, is the first part of a course of study designed to provide the student with a thorough comprehension of normal and pathological cardiac structures and processes using echocardiographic techniques.
Hunter Business School students are exposed to 2D, M-mode, and Doppler procedures and learn the benefits and limitations of both transthoracic and transesophageal scanning. This sonography course provides the echocardiographic student the opportunity to practice techniques learned in cardiac lectures in a supervised classroom laboratory setting.
Hunter Business School students employ transducers designed specifically for the 2D, M-mode, and spectral and color Doppler evaluation of cardiac structures to obtain images of each other. Competency is determined based upon specific proficiency levels. Laboratory work includes answering questions based on normal anatomical findings imaged and correlation to disease states discussed in lectures both in class and using the MedaPhor practice modules.
This laboratory scanning course covers the vascular system. Students are exposed to vascular sonography topics, including renal vascular ultrasound, transcranial Doppler TCD , and other forms of testing for peripheral artery disease and peripheral venous reflux testing. During this fourth clinical externship of hours, Diagnostic Medical Sonography students begin their exposure to cardiac sonography in a rotation through a cardiology department.
This three day per week rotation affords an additional clinical day for students who have already completed more than half the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
As in the previous rotations, students strive for independent scanning always with the permission of the clinical instructor and patient. Competency levels are attained and documented by an appropriately credentialed clinical instructor, while attendance and progress is tracked through online and paper logs. This course provides the participants with the knowledge and skills to carry out emergency first aid for life threatening injuries in the workplace.
Hunter Business School students are familiarized with identification and measurement of vital signs, management of choking and other breathing emergencies, shock, severe allergic reactions, bleeding and wound care, infection control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and automated external defibrillators.
The goal of this course is to provide a framework for graduating sonographers that assists them in bridging the gap between being a student and an employee. The importance of obtaining CME Continuing Medical Education requirements and other professional obligations are stressed.
Course Prerequisite: Module V. Part two of the course of study designed to cover echocardiographic topics continues with a discussion of normal and pathological structures and processes affecting the cardiac tissue.
Students employ transducers designed specifically for the 2D, M-mode, and spectral and color Doppler evaluation of cardiac structures to obtain images of each other. This course provides a review of the topics of cardiac sonography adult echocardiography to assist students in preparation for their registry examinations.
This is the last clinical externship for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography students. At this point in the program, students should be knowledgeable and experienced in performing a variety of independent sonographic evaluations always with the permission of the clinical instructor and patient.
This rotation runs three days per week for 16 weeks. Hunter Business School reserves the right to add, discontinue, or modify its programs and policies at any time. Are you interested in working with computers?
