SCHOOL OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES Dean: ReedM. Stringham, Jr. Assistant to the Dean: Sylvia Sala Location: Marriott Allied Health Building Telephone Contact: 626-7117 The Weber State College School of Allied Health Sciences, in cooperation with affiliated hospitals and other departments of the College, offers an expanding program for the education and training of health care workers. The programs emphasize an integration of basic sciences, liberal arts and clinical experiences which enable the graduates to make a maximum contribution to patient care as a member of the health care team. The School of Allied Health Sciences offers programs leading to the following health science professions: Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences, Clinical Laboratory Science, and Nursing; Associate of Science in Dental Hygiene and Nursing; Associate of Applied Science in Clinical Laboratory Technology, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Emergency Care & Rescue (Paramedic), Medical Records Technology; Institutional Certificate in Practical Nursing. Through the organization of the health science educational programs under one school, a common core curriculum is operational which fosters the team concept of health care and the integration and application of the basic biomedical sciences to patient needs. HEALTH SCIENCES Associate Professor/Director: Robert C. Soderberg Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 109A Telephone Contact: Constance Smith 626-6505 Assistant Professors: Craig Gundy & Clayton Parkinson Health Sciences represents a core of courses common to all allied health programs. Courses from the Health Sciences Core, together with the specific requirements of each individual program, are required for graduation. HEALTH SCIENCES COURSES CORE COURSES-HTHSCI U 111. Health Sciences (Biomedical Core) (5) Biomedical Core—an integrated presentation of the basic concepts of physics, chemistry, human anatomy, human physiology and medical microbiology as related to man. Five lecture demonstrations per week. 112. Health Sciences (continued) (5) Five lecture-demonstrations per week. 113. Health Sciences (continued) (5) Five lecture-demonstrations per week. Students completing the Biomedical Core receive credit in the Natural Science general education area as follows: 1. For the Bachelor of Arts (BA) the Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS), the Associate of Arts (AA), and the Associate of Applied Sciences (AAS) degrees, the Biomedical Core satisfies Natural Science general education requirements. 2. For the Bachelor of Science (BS) and the Associate of Science (AS) degrees the Biomedical Core satisfies 12 hours of the Natural Science general education requirements. Two additional courses one in the Life Sciences (botany, microbiology, zoology) and one in the Physical Sciences (chemistry earth science, physics) must be completed to satisfy the Natural Science general education requirements. 3. Students completing only part of the three-course Biomedical Core shall satisfy four hours of the Natural Science general education requirements for each of the core classes successfully completed. 4. For students completing the Biomedical Core and then changing to a non-Allied Health Science major, the above allocation of general education credit also applies. 101. Medical Terminology (3) Medical terms of Greek and Latin origin. Designed for the pre- professional and workers in health related fields. PD-120. Introduction to Medical Science (3) Medical terminology roles and interrelationships in the health care team medical ethics and psychology of the patient. PD-130. Common Medicines (3) This is an introductory course and will provide information regarding proper drug usage for persons without significant backgrounds in the Biological Sciences. The course primarily discusses over-the-counter medicines as well as prescription drug groups which are commonly used by the public. The overall objective will be to provide information in such a way that individuals are more aware of possible drug-related problems, able to make wise and appropriate choices, and become well- informed consumers. Health Sciences General Information 214. Basic Pharmacology for Nurses (3) Principles of pharmacology are emphasized which can be applied in planning and giving nursing care to clients with more complex deviations from health. Prevention of health problems are stressed. Emphasis is placed on the nursing process as it relates to the nurse's role in drug therapy. 230. Introductory Pathophysiology (4) An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems. 329. Advanced Pathophysiology (3) Interpretation of disease pathogenesis, pathological symptoms, and clinical data as applied to nursing practice. Prerequisite: completion of introductory pathophysiology (Hthsci 230) with "C" grade or better within past five (5) years. 330. Advanced Pathophysiology I (3) In-depth consideration of disease processes of the cardiac, digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. 331. Advanced Pathophysiology II (3) In-depth consideration of disease processes of the pulminary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. HONORS PROGRAM A student in the School of Allied Health Sciences may receive Honors in one of the listed majors in the following manner: (1) maintain an overall GPA of 3.3; (2) be enrolled in the General Honors Program and complete at least 10 hours of General Honors courses or 10 hours in approved Departmental Honors credit in majors other than the student's major (these may include Health Sciences core courses); (3) fulfill the requirements for one of the following majors in this School: Clinical Laboratory Science leading to the baccalaureate degree, Clinical Laboratory Technology, Radiologic Technology, and Respiratory Therapy leading to the Associate of Applied Science degree; and Dental Hygiene and Registered Nursing leading to the Associate of Science degree; (4) take at least 20 of the required credit hours in major courses taken for Honors credit; (5) in the case of the major leading to the baccalaureate degree, complete an Honors Senior Project course. (This project may be included among the foregoing requirements.) Students seeking an associate degree in Clinical Laboratory Technology or students who are Clinical Laboratory Technology majors may receive Honors credit in any Clinical Laboratory course. Students taking the Radiologic Technology major may receive credit in all Radiologic Technology courses, except Radtech 102, 104,130,135 and 240. Students taking the Respiratory major may receive credit in any Dental Hygiene course. Students taking the Nursing major may receive credit in the following courses; Nursng 111-112,121-122, 201-202, 211-212, and 283. All students desiring Honors credit should seek permission from individual program directors at the time of registration. At the beginning of the course the student should make a written agreement with the appropriate professor regarding the work expected for Honors credit. This written agreement will be filed immediately with the program director. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES Program Director: Phil M.
