terminology, pathophysiology, lifespan development, public health, pharmacology, airway management, respiration, artificial ventilation, patient assessment, principles of medicine, shock and resuscitation, trauma and special patient populations. Corequisite: 2055L. Prerequisites: ALHLT 2045 and 2045L. D ALHLT 2066 ADVANCED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (AEMT) The primary focus of the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) is to provide basic and limited advanced emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. This individual possesses the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation. The AEMT functions as part of a comprehensive EMS response under medical oversight. The AEMT performs interventions with basic and advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance. The AEMT is a link from the scene to the emergency health care system. Corequisite: 2066L. D ALHLT 2116 CLINICAL PRACTICE III A clinical education sequence designed to bring advanced positioning and exposure theory, as well as pathology, to a cohesive entity with information previously applied. Students will continue to work in the radiology department in the hospital environment, under the supervision of registered technologists. F ALHLT 2122 RADIATION BIOLOGY An introductory course designed to provide the student with the principles of cell radiation interaction. Radiation effects on cells and factors affecting cell response are presented, as well as acute and chronic effects of radiation exposure at varying levels. S ALHLT 2132 SPECIAL PROCEDURES AND MODALITIES An introductory course to the advanced modalities associated with radiology (C.T., ultrasound, nuclear medicine, etc.) and to special radiographic procedures not previously addressed (angiography, etc.) to include the definition and performance of each type, the indications/contraindications, and pathology demonstrated. S ALHLT 2142 IMAGE RECOGNITION AND CRITIQUE A comprehensive course designed to provide the student with the knowledge and experience to evaluate radiographic examinations, to identify and recognize diagnostic quality. Includes application of knowledge and skills acquired from 1053 Radiographic Positioning I and 1082 Radiographic Exposure I concurrently. S ALHLT 2154 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS Anatomy and Physiology I for Health Professions is the first of a two- course sequence examining the terminology, structure, function, and interdependence of the human body systems as it relates to the needs of health care providers. This 8-week course covers microscopic to gross anatomical structures and the primary physiological processes of all major human organ systems. The relationships between anatomical structure and physiological function are examined within the context of homeostatic regulation within the human organism. Anatomical perspective is given greater weight than the physiological aspect. In conjunction with online lecture instruction, the online lab component for this course includes online videos, animations, and 3D virtual cadaver dissections to support learning.
