Description

This course is a continuation of SONO 135 and SONO 235. Students will gain further hands on experience on abdominal, pelvis, obstetrical, vascular, superficial and cardiac sonographic imaging in a variety of health care settings. At the end of this course, students will independently perform complete sonographic examinations on patients with common pathologies with minimal assistance. Effective written and verbal communication, creation of safe practice environments, safe patient care and professionalism are emphasized.

Description

This course is a continuation of SONO 245. The consolidation of theoretical knowledge of general and cardiac sonography, application to the clinical setting and competency in skill will be the focus of this course. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to independently perform complete patient examinations with consistency and accuracy in all patients. Demonstration of all competencies of entry level practice as described by Sonography Canada in the National Competency Profiles is required.

Description

This course builds on SONO 131. The focus of this course is on the abnormal sonographic findings in carotid arteries and the extremity veins. Concepts include clinical signs and symptoms of vascular disease, abnormal hemodynamics, peripheral arterial Doppler and vascular grafts. Students will apply theoretical concepts from this course to simulations in the lab.

Description

This theory course is a continuation and integration of PHYS 170 and PHYS 173. The focus is on the relationship between the physical principles of fluid motion and Doppler imaging. Tissue harmonic imaging, contrast imaging, and elasticity imaging in sonography are also covered. Students will learn about the quality assurance and control responsibilities of the sonographer. Students will apply theoretical concepts from this course to simulations in the lab.

Description

A study of contemporary Aboriginal authors. Students study novels, plays, and poems that reflect the experiences of Aboriginal people in Canada from the 1940s to the present. Students consider regional/ personal concerns as well as the universal themes developed in the writings.
