Credit Hours: 4.00


Prerequisites: Admission into the Surgical Technology Program; SURG 1055, SURG 1200, SURG 1250, and SURG 1265 all with grade C or better, or grade Pass (if the course is a Pass/Fail course)

Corequisites: SURG 1300 and SURG 1360

This course is a continuation of surgical specialties and is designed to focus on the perioperative care of surgical patients during orthopedic, peripheral vascular, neurosurgery, pediatric, geriatric, and emergency trauma surgery. Students will become familiar with the diagnostic exams, pathophysiology, procedural considerations, operative procedures, and instrumentation supplies, and equipment for these specialties.

Location: Center Campus

When Offered: Winter semester only

Contact Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 4
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to outline structures including functions of the regional anatomy for each surgical specialty present in class.

Objectives:

  1. Discuss anatomy and physiology of the skeletal system and connective tissues.
  2. Identify key anatomical features of the peripheral vascular system.
  3. Identify key anatomical features of the respiratory structures in the thoracic cavity.
  4. Identify key anatomical structures of the heart and great vessels.
  5. Identify key anatomical features of the nervous system.
