This course represents the initial clinical exposure of students in the echocardiography (echo) laboratory (lab). During this course, students are going to experience the real echo lab environment and work flow. Students will be able to apply their prior knowledge of communication skills, professional responsibilities, echo lab protocols and applications of cardiac instrumentations into real practice. They will be able also to link the basic sciences of anatomy, physiology, pathology and ECG to the real life echo studies. This course will also prepare students for the subsequent level of clinical courses that include; patient care skills, ultrasound instrumentation and advanced clinical practicum. Students will be under close supervision and guidance of the echo lab instructors and technologists. Students will initially participate in providing simple patient care, patient preparation and data entry and as the course progresses, students will be gradually allowed to perform limited scanning of one window at a time, after the completion of study by the sonographer.
