DMS105 — Fundamentals of Sonography + Lab I
This is the first of a four-part lab series (DMS 105, DMS 106, DMS 107 and DMS 108) designed to develop the foundations of sonography and cross-sectional anatomy. This course introduces students to more complex sonographic exams and patient care techniques. Students will learn how to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and hone interpersonal communication techniques while working in a simulated healthcare setting. Activities will emphasize the use of medical terminology (directional, anatomic, and sonographic), anatomic relationships, scanning techniques and image optimization while focusing on patient care and communication.
