VU402–UpperExtremityVenousSystem–36ClockHours/3.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of Module I, II, and III courses with a “C” or better is required. Concurrent enrollment is required with all Module IV VU courses. Upper extremity venous vascular protocols are the main focus of this course. Vascular hemodynamics and physical principles are reviewed and practiced. Scanning skills and techniques are taught to recognize the normalandabnormalanatomyanddisease(anddiseaseprocesses)oftheupperextremities. VU402L–UpperExtremityVenousSystemLab–36ClockHours/1.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of Module I, II, and III courses with a “C” or better is required. Concurrent enrollment is required with all Module IV VU courses. Upper extremity venous protocols will be demonstrated, practiced, and evaluated. Students will learn scanning techniques of required anatomy and what is required to prove normal vs. abnormal. VU403–UpperExtremityArterialSystem–28ClockHours/2.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of Module I, II, and III courses with a “C” or better is required. Concurrent enrollment is required with all Module IV VU courses. Upper extremity arterial vascular protocols are the main focus of this course. Vascular hemodynamics and physical principles are reviewed and practiced. Scanning skills and techniques are taught to recognize the normalandabnormalanatomyanddisease(anddiseaseprocesses)oftheupperextremities. VU403L–UpperExtremityArterialSystemLab–28ClockHours/1QuarterCreditHour Prerequisite: Completion of Module I, II, and III courses with a “C” or better is required. Concurrent enrollment is required with all Module IV VU courses. This course will review Doppler sonography within the lab setting. Students will learn techniques and skills for optimizing the upper arterial vascular examination. Students will be taught upper arterial extremity protocols. Indirect assessment of the arteries will also be introduced and taught with the lab’s ABI machine. This will introduce and prepare students for peripheral vascular disease. VUX01–Clinical1–400ClockHours/13QuarterCreditHours Prerequisite: Completion of courses in preceding modules with a “C” or better. VU X01 is twelve weeks of Level 1 externship, integrated within VU Module courses. Externship expectations will vary as to the externship site assignment for each student. This allows the student to relate theory to practice in a supervised situation. The student’s ability to perform correct protocols and acquire effective patient diagnostic information is evidenced by meeting specific objectives and competencies in each clinical specialty area. Level 1 competency evaluation will be signed off by clinical instructors on Trajecsys and reviewed by the clinical coordinator. A Clinical Instructor (CI) Preceptor Handbook is provided for each site supervisor. The handbook guides the CI and department staff regarding the expectations of the ultrasound extern. VU X01 also consists of assignmentsonMoodleforARDMSpreparation. The emphasis will be on the SPI preparation to encourage students in VU X01 to take the ARDMS SPI exam before graduation. There are virtual labs on Moodle to be used if clinical site assignment is unavailable for reasons determined by the clinical site and the school. The clinical coordinator may give virtual lab assignmentsforextralearningopportunities or make-up assignments.
