The course provides students with an in depth study of the issues and impacts of the residential school system on Aboriginal culture, language,spirituality, community and social structures. The historical context of the development of the Canadian government's policy with regard to the First Nations education will be examined. Students will also explore interventions that will assist individuals, families and communities addressing the results of traumas.

Description

The course provides students with an in-depth study of the issues and impacts of the school systems on Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Students will explore the effects of Euro-Canadian education systems on First Nations in the past century and today. They will learn about the many ways First Nations are working to recreate educational systems that reflect their values and world views as well as prepare young people for success in the larger Canadian context.

Description

Aboriginal communities across Canada are increasingly collaborating with or controlling resource development in their territories. This course examines theory and practices of traditional and contemporary resource and land use planning. In particular, this course examines the community led processes in pursuit of economic development as well as environmental management of lands and resources. This course develops student's research and writing skills as well as critical thinking and engages in critical debates on Canadian resource issues and in British Columbia specifically.

Description

In this course, students are introduced to the Carrier language, spoken and written, including pronunciation, basic conversation, and culturally important vocabulary. Considerable emphasis is placed on the grammar so that the student will learn to produce and understand utterances beyond memorized rituals. The Carrier Linguistic Committee (CLC) writing system will be used.

Practicum

Description

This course introduces the student to the clinical environment. The focus of this course is on preparing the student for the transition from theory and laboratory simulations to working in a demanding health care environment. Method of delivery may include lecture, tour of a health care facility, review of health authority general policies/procedures, and other related online activities.

Description

This course introduces the student to pathophysiology relevant to sonography. The focus of this course is on common pathologies of the abdomen. Concepts include disease terminology, mechanisms of disease, the inflammatory process and common clinical presentations of disease. Content is delivered online and applied in a clinical setting.

Description

This first clinical experience provides students with the opportunity to integrate theory from term 1 and 2 courses into clinical practice. Students will work in a variety of clinical settings under direct supervision. Learning the role of the sonographer in the context of safe patient care, therapeutic communication, professionalism and collaboration will be emphasized. At the end of this course, students will be able to satisfactorily perform portions of normal and abnormal general and cardiac sonographic assessments with supervision and guidance.

Description

This course builds on SONO 120 with a focus on more complex pathological conditions of the adult and paediatric abdomen, pelvis, and superficial structures. Concepts include sonographic assessment of the abnormal abdominal wall, associated musculoskeletal and superficial structures, scrotum, thyroid and relevant abdominal Doppler studies. Students will also perform sonographic assessment of the carotids and peripheral vascular system.

Description

Lab more complex pathological conditions of the adult and paediatric abdomen, pelvis, and superficial structures. Concepts include sonographic assessment of the abnormal abdominal wall, associated musculoskeletal and superficial structures, scrotum, thyroid and relevant abdominal Doppler studies. Students will apply theoretical concepts from this course to simulations in the lab.

Description

This course is a continuation of SONO 135. Students will work in a variety of clinical settings under direct supervision. The focus of this course is on the integration of theoretical knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology into sonographic examinations. Students will continue to apply the concepts of safe patient care, therapeutic communication, professionalism and collaboration. At the end of this course, students will be able to satisfactorily perform portions of general and cardiac sonographic assessments on patients with common pathologies with supervision and guidance.

Description

This course is intended to prepare the sonography student for accreditation with Sonography Canada. Concepts covered include the Canadian Clinical Skills Assessments (CCSA), certification examination process, and how to develop a professional resume and cover letter. This course will be delivered online.

Description

This theory course is a continuation of SONO 125. The focus is on complex pathology and pathophysiology of the female (pelvis and all stages of pregnancy) as relevant to sonographic assessment. The emphasis is on performing quality sonographic images, integrating relevant clinical findings and patient history to formulate and communicate a clinical impression. Students will apply theoretical concepts to simulations in the lab.

Description

This course is a continuation of SONO 123. The focus is on the pathophysiology of cardiac disease and the integration of hemodynamics and clinical findings with sonographic features. Concepts include heart failure, cardiomyopathy, pericardial and pleural disease, cardiac masses, disease of the cardiac vessels and congenital abnormalities and surgical corrections. Students will apply theoretical concepts from this course to simulation in the lab.
