MASTER OF SCIENCE IN RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES COURSES-MSRS MSRS 6100. Research Methods (3) This course assists students to critique, evaluate, and use research within their health science education careers. The research process including the theoretical/conceptual basis of health sciences research, methods, and critique strategies are examined in detail. There is a focus on evaluation of published research reports to evaluate the appropriateness of application of findings to clinical practice. This course is cross-listed with MSN 6100. MSRS 6120. Research and Statistics (3) This course focuses on the development of research skills used to evaluate data in support of the utilization of findings in clinical practice. Skills related to statistical analysis of quantitative data will be emphasized. Parametric and non-parametric methods of statistical analysis will be discussed. This course is cross-listed with MSN 6120. MSRS 6130. Functional Hemodynamics (3) This course offers the fundamental principles and indications for invasive hemodynamic monitoring. The indications, possible contraindications and possible complications involved with the insertion of central Venous lines, arterial lines, Pulmonary artery catheters and ICP monitoring with the expected CVP, RV, PAP, PCWP, CO and CI reading, waveforms and troubleshooting. MSRS 6140. Clinical Laboratory Correlation (3) This course covers the concepts, analytical methods and clinical correlation of laboratory values as they relate to radiographic imaging, pathology and patient history. MSRS 6443. Clinical Pathways (3) Studying clinical pathways for patients based on disease processes and trauma. MSRS 6463. Problem Patient Management (3) Determination of pathological conditions utilizing problem-solving case studies. MSRS 6473. Vascular Non-Invasive Imaging Procedures (3) Patient preparation and performance of medical imaging vascular non-invasive procedures are presented. MSRS 6863. Vascular Invasive Imaging Procedures (3) Patient preparation and performance of medical imaging vascular invasive procedures are presented. MSRS 6900. Capstone: Clinical Fellowship & Portfolio (3) Experience in a radiology department and interventional Radiology coordinated by Weber State University under the supervision of a radiologist or other Medical Practitioner. Review and evaluation of student competencies, clinical performance and professional development as required by certification. MSRS 6999. Master's Thesis in Radiologic Sciences (3) Students will enroll for this course as they complete their Masters thesis under the direction of a departmental graduate advisor. Departmental seminars and readings may also be assigned as part of this course. Students will finish their Master of Science in Radiologic Sciences degree by first completing a course of classroom or didactic study, then writing an original research monograph for their thesis. This course is to be used during the time the student is writing the thesis and getting approval for the thesis.

The Weber State University programs utilize a career ladder concept in curriculum planning and educational preparation. The campus-based four-year program offers a BS degree in an integrated setting where students complete their degree in a structure that does not require extended formalized external clinical instruction. The Online-program offers registered Clinical Laboratory Technicians (CLT) or Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) an opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree in clinical laboratory sciences within their own clinical setting utilizing varied instructional learning approaches including technology-assisted learning and customized precept or ships. The Online BS program is offered nationally in conjunction with the university's Division of Continuing Education. Associate's Degree - AAS in CLS The two-year clinical laboratory technician AAS degree is also an integrated campus-based program and allows the graduate to take the national certification examinations after two years. The WSU Clinical Laboratory Sciences Online-program offers the employees of clinical laboratories an opportunity to complete an AAS degree in clinical laboratory sciences. Graduates of the program are eligible to take national exams to become certified as clinical laboratory technicians (CLT) or medical laboratory technicians (MLT). Students admitted to the online AAS degree program are expected to meet the same department requirements, policies, and outcomes as the on-campus students. Laboratory competencies will be met at the students' respective work facilities. Please refer to the Employer Support Information on the CLS Department Web site, weber.edu/cls. All BS and AAS programs are accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). As such, graduates are eligible for several options for national certification including ASCP and NCA. Certification Program To meet the need for clinical laboratory competencies in a rapidly changing health care system, the CLS program offers an intensive Certification Program, which provides applied core clinical laboratory skills required primarily for testing performed in physician office labs (POL's) and other decentralized testing sites. These sites mostly perform waived or moderately complex testing as defined within the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1988 (CLIA 88).
