Clinical Placement Attestation

Pdf Summary

This document is a clinical placement attestation for a cardiovascular and vascular sonography program. It includes requirements for clinical sites in both cardiac and vascular areas. <br /><br />For cardiac requirements, the clinical site should perform approximately 800 completed patient examinations per year per student equivalent. The overall volume of procedures in which students participate throughout the program should represent a range of cardiac procedures. All competencies listed in the cardiac clinical questionnaire must be able to be completed at the clinical site, and there must be at least one sonographer with RCS or RDCS credentials on staff full-time. <br /><br />For vascular requirements, the clinical site should perform approximately 1,000 completed patient examinations per year per student equivalent. These should be representative of the range of vascular procedures. The overall volume of procedures in which students participate throughout the program should represent a range of non-invasive vascular procedures. All competencies listed in the vascular clinical questionnaire must be able to be completed at the clinical site, and there must be at least one sonographer with RVS or RVT credentials on staff full-time. <br /><br />Additionally, the document mentions the Washburn University Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, which offers online didactic classes for students to complete a CAAHEP-accredited sonography program.

The didactic and clinical classes are taught simultaneously. The document includes spaces for the signature and printed name of the Sonography Leader, as well as the date.
