This program covers the basic and advanced positioning and scanning protocols for the vascular system. Terminology specific for hemodynamics for the vascular system including arterial, venous,cerebrovascular, and physiology non-invasive testing. Pathologies of the vascular system will be presented as well as interpretations of medical reports. This program is available to students who have previously completed the DMS program with CRC and to other active RDMS approved sonographers seeking the certificate and training to meet the requirements for the National Registry Testing (RVT) offered through the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Students must earn a letter grade with a "C" or better in all courses to receive the Certificate of Achievement. This program will give the individuals the ability to perform the specific advanced vascular sonography that is required for higher level of care in the health care industry. It meets the prerequisites for applying for and sitting the vascular board test offered through ARDMS.
It is estimated that approximately 10 students will earn the certificate annually during the first year of the program. Growth will continue relative to the availability of mentors who are ARDMS vascular scanning approved in order to supervise students through their clinical experience coursework. There is substantial demand for this program.
Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to:
Course | Title | Units | Year/Semester (Y1 or S1) |
---|---|---|---|
SONOG 331 | Advanced Vascular Ultrasound | 2 | F1 |
SONOG 333 | Clinical Experience Adv I | 6 | F1 |
SONOG 334 | Clinical Experience Adv II | 6 | S1, 1st 8 weeks |
SONOG 336 | Clinical Experience Adv III | 6 | S1, 2nd 8 weeks |
SONOG 337 | Clinical Experience Adv IV | 6 | Su |
This program will complete the request that was given to CRC by the Imaging Advisory Board Committee concerning advanced vascular scanning, how the area hospitals can benefit their current employees with continuing education, and gives the individual student the ability to takeand pass the RVT test required to perform the advanced vascular studies needed in this geographic area. The Program’s courses will be offered over a 12-monthperiod, with the first two courses offered together in the Fall, the third course offered during the first 8 weeks of Spring, followed by the fourth course in the second 8 weeks of spring. The final course of the program will be offered in the summer.
