Cardiac and Vascular Sonography Program-Employee and Clinical Site Exception Form

Employee and Clinical Site Exception Form

Pdf Summary

The Employee and Clinical Site Exception Form serves as a pathway for individuals who do not meet regular admissions criteria to request completion of the sonography program at a specific facility. The applicant must have direct patient care skills and regularly work with patients. The form outlines the academic requirements, which include completing prerequisite courses such as Medical Terminology, English or Communications, Intermediate Algebra or Statistics, General Physics, Human Anatomy, and Human Physiology. These courses must be completed for college credit with a minimum letter grade of C and an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher.<br /><br />The procedure for submitting an exception form involves the clinical coordinator completing the form and submitting it to the program director. The program faculty at Washburn University will then review the applicant's unofficial transcripts to verify completion of the prerequisites. They will communicate with the potential student and clinical coordinator regarding any additional information needed.<br /><br />The expectations for this clinical program state that the clinical hours are unpaid by the employer, and the clinical requirements involve approximately 24 hours per week. Additionally, all evaluations, skill checks, and competencies must be completed by a registered sonographer in the respective area of study, either cardiac or vascular.<br /><br />The form includes sections for the facility name, clinical coordinator's contact information, applicant's information, current degree (if applicable), and current job title. The clinical coordinator acknowledges that the employee/individual does not meet regular admissions criteria but believes they are a good candidate for the sonography program's clinical component. The form does not guarantee acceptance into the sonography program, as all prerequisite coursework is still required per CAAHEP accreditation standards. The Sonography Clinical Coordinator must sign and date the form.
