College Curriculum

Study Plan and Curriculum Structure
The curriculum of the four programs offered by CAMS (i.e., Emergency Medical Services, Respiratory Program, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, and Occupational Therapy) consists of two phases. The duration of the courses for each program is four years.

Phase I:Pre-Professional(Preparatory Four Semesters, which are offered to all health science colleges).
Students from all Health Science Colleges attend the first three semesters together. The students are offered intensive English language courses throughout these semesters to strengthen their English language. This will enable them to communicate fluently, as English is the instructional language while studying the professional courses.

Components: Theory, Practical
Credit Hours: 4
Course Schedule: Block system
This course provides detailed knowledge on the theoretical principles of ultrasound physics and their practical implementations in the medical field with special reference to cardiac applications. Sound and ultrasound waves production, propagation, characteristics and interaction with matter are going to be covered in details. Students are also going to be introduced to the ultrasound instrumentation that includes transducer construction and function, echo machine operations, display systems, information processing and storage. Safety and quality issues of ultrasound technology are also going to be addressed by reviewing pertinent quality assurance standards in relation to ultrasound bio effects and image artifacts.
