RCT 1516-Clinical Practice I. Patient assessment and care plan formation are presented in the hospital environment. A procedural guide is utilized to evaluate student competencies and performance of respiratory care procedures. Prerequisites: Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 1514), Anatomy and Physiology II (BIO 1524), Respiratory Care Science (RCT 1214), Patient Assessment and Planning (RCT 1223), and Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology (RCT 1313). Corequisite: Respiratory Care Practitioner I (RCT 1416). (6,0,18)
RCT 1525-Clinical Practice II. In this course, students rotate through various respiratory care sub-specialty areas for evaluation of competency and performance of respiratory care procedures. Prerequisites: Clinical Practice I (RCT 1516). (5,0,15)
RCT 1613-Respiratory Care Pharmacology. This course is designed to introduce the student to the pharmacology related to cardiopulmonary disorders. Prerequisites: Respiratory Care Science (RCT 1214), Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology (RCT 1313), and Patient Assessment and Planning (RCT 1223). (3,3,0)
RCT 2333-Cardiopulmonary Pathology. This course is a study of the cardiopulmonary pathophysiology. It includes etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and treatment of various cardiopulmonary diseases. Case studies and/or clinical simulations will be utilized to enforce learning and evaluate progress. Prerequisites: Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology (RCT 1313). (3,3,0)
RCT 2434-Respiratory Care Practitioner III. This course is a study of respiratory care in the critical care setting. Topics include nonconventional modes of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamics, special procedures, and advanced cardiac life support. Prerequisites: Clinical Practice II (RCT 1525). (4,3,2)
RCT 2534-Clinical Practice III. In this course, students rotate through various clinical areas for evaluation of competency and performance of respiratory care procedures. Prerequisites: Clinical Practice I (RCT 1516) and Clinical Practice II (RCT 1525). (4,0,12)
RCT 2546-Clinical Practice IV. This is a continuation of Clinical Practice III. In this course, students rotate through respiratory care specialty areas. A procedural guide is utilized to evaluate student competency and performance. Prerequisites: Clinical Practice I (RCT 1516), Clinical Practice II (RCT 1525), and Clinical Practice III (RCT 2534). (6,0,18)
RCT 2613-Neonatal/Pediatrics Management. This course is a study of fetal development and the transition to extrauterine environment. It includes the most common cardiopulmonary disorders, neonatal and pediatric disease processes, and the modes of treatment. Prerequisite: Respiratory Care Practitioner III (RCT 2434). Corequisite: Clinical Practice IV (RCT 2546). (3,3,0)
RCT 2712-Respiratory Care Seminar. This course is designed to integrate the essential elements of respiratory care practice through the use of care plans, case studies, and clinical simulations in a laboratory environment. Students develop an analytical approach to problem solving. Critical thinking is emphasized. Prerequisites: Clinical Practice II (RCT 1525). (2,1,2)
