building on their scanning skills during didactic courses that do not allow scanning, i.e., OB, neonate, and pediatrics. Students will continue practicing the protocols and scanning techniques of the prior lab courses (abdomen, vascular, gynecology, and/or small parts). This class allows the students to work on their scanning speed and advancedtechniques,suchasintercostalscanning.Newstudentswillbeintroducedtotheprotocolsandbegin building on their scanning skills. Also, critical thinking scenarios will be applied to the lessons in the lab to ensurestudentsunderstandnormalanatomyvs.pathology.

UT701–Clinical3–288ClockHours/9.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisites: Completion of Modules I, II, III, IV, V, and VI and Clinical 1 and 2 with a “C” or better. This course comprises twelve weeks of Level 3 externship integrated within UT 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.
