CLINICAL EDUCATION I

COURSE DESCRIPTION: HSCU 2002 provides several orientations; the July orientation will cover topics to be addressed prior to the start of fall semester, CPR class will also be provided prior to the beginning of fall, as well as the Hospital orientation and the Department of Imaging orientation. While in the Department of Imaging, there will be direct supervision of students in clinical room rotations through diagnostic, fluoroscopic, specialized, emergent, and portable/operative Imaging. Students also rotate through other facets of the imaging department including the front office, and file room. Lab Demonstrations consist of examinations of the upper and lower extremities. Preliminary Imaging Examination Competencies and Imaging Examination Competencies are required. Written examinations and assignments are required. Professional adjustment is evaluated. One evaluation of the student by an attending qualified radiographer is required. REQUIREMENTS: Class attendance and participation are essential. Students are not permitted to miss classes during the orientation period of this course. Students who miss class are responsible for all covered material. Students must earn a passing grade (85%) in each segment of the radiographic clinical courses and a passing grade (75%) in the segment of the radiographic didactic course. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade for the entire course as stated in the Student Handbook and immediate dismissal from the program. Plagiarizing or cheating on any assignment, quiz, or test will not be tolerated. In the event this behavior is identified the resulting grade will be “zero”.
