    Description
    This course is the third semester, after a prior summer semester, of a clinical externship/internship where students continue to observe staff Sonographers in the clinical environment, scan with assistance, and begin to complete ultrasound exams unassisted with preceptor review of the final exam images. Clinical training provides the student with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience under the guidance of a trained preceptor in a sonography department at an affiliated hospital or medical center. The student will learn through observation, scanning with assistance, and scanning unassisted: the functions, procedures, and protocols of an ultrasound department. This clinical course will also include reviewing physician orders, comparing prior imaging exams, lab results, exam protocols, observing a sonographer complete an ultrasound examination, completing the requested examination with sonographer assistance, or completing an ultrasound examination unassisted. The student will demonstrate proper sterile technique, universal precautions, and patient centered care. (formerly DMS-124)
