DS-240 Clinical Internship I
The clinical Internship supplements the student’s experience in the classroom and allows them to utilize their skills and techniques at an approved medical facility. This course permits the student to apply theory while acquiring real world knowledge of the medical sonography field. The intern is assigned to a clinical education center to practice and perfect sonography skills at the discretion of the Director of the program. Students are supervised by qualified sonographers and directed in specific experiences designed to meet the objectives for the semester. This course incorporates instruction for work ethics traits with clinical competence. Students are evaluated by the Clinical Coordinator from the College and the supervisor of the facility where they are placed.
This is the first of three clinical Internships, and as such will focus on the general ultrasound examination (abdomen, renal, pelvis, or small part).
A total of 280 hours is required.
