Co-requisites: DMS 207 , DMS 210
Description
This clinical course offers the student experience in developing clinical skills in recognizing pathology or abnormal anatomy. The student will have the opportunity to maintain skills previously learned and to continue to develop new scanning skills. The student will continue to develop skills in the progression and completion of the examination. The student will begin to become independent of the clinical supervisor in the performance of the ultrasound examination. The student will assist in portable examinations and special procedures. Gaining skills and confidence in presenting the case before the interpreting physician will continue during this clinical experience.(Three full-time days per week). This course requires a per credit health career fee; check the tuition and fee schedule for the current rate. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
