Catalog description and Pre- and Co-requisites (Same as taxonomy and catalog)

|Students receive supervised clinical work experience in an approved clinical education center. This course provides basic scanning opportunities, patient |

|interviewing techniques, professional attitudes and ethics, and other basic patient/professional situations under the direct supervision of a registered |

|diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS). Completion of professional and technical scanning proficiencies are required. A minimum of 515 hours are required to |

|complete this course. Prerequisite: DMS 101 |

Knowledge, skills and abilities Students Acquire from this Course (Educational Objectives)

|1. Student s will establish a working knowledge of where other relevant departments are located with their clinical education center. ie, central supply, |

|clinical laboratory, radiology, CT, MRI, etc. |

|2. Students will learn the names of fellow workers in ultrasound, radiography, CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine, including the radiologists |

|3. Student s will observe clinical instructor (CI) or staff sonographer’s scanning of patients whenever possible. |

|4. Students will assist the staff in as many ways as possible, including if necessary transporting of patients, processing of images, restocking of supplies|

|and linens, and disposal of used linens and or |

|5. It is expected that students are observing, pre or post scanning or scanning with assistance for most of their cases at this point in the program. |
