STUDENTS’ RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Amarillo College students should be familiar with the contents of Amarillo College’s Rights and Responsibilities document. Copies of the pamphlet are available free to students from the Business Office, Registrar’s Office and the Dean of Student Services.
STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE: A student who has a problem with the course or the course instructor should make every attempt to resolve the problem with the course instructor. If that is not successful, the student may appeal the decision of the instructor to the program director, the chairman of Allied Health, the Associate Dean, and the President of the College – in that order.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements, and is the student’s responsibility to contact Disability Services (SSC 125, 371-5436) as soon as possible.
REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS: This course will consist of lecture, power-point, videos, and demonstrations/return demonstrations, written and reading assignments and on-line instruction. This course will consist of 6-7 major examinations, several quizzes and worksheets, major case study preparation, and a final examination. Each major examination will cover information presented since the previous exam (or the start of the course for the first exam) and will be announced in advance. Every effort will be made by the instructor to give one-week notice for an upcoming exam. Quizzes will test knowledge from the previous lectures and may or may not be announced. Quizzes will be given during class time and scheduled times outside of class. The final examination will be comprehensive to evaluate knowledge-attained throughout the entire course.
Mock Exams will be given to test the overall knowledge of the student. Each student must score a 75% or better on the exam. If a score of 75% is not scored then the student must retake exam. Two attempts will be given. Students who are unable to pass the MOCK exam must make time for tutoring in the success lab.
GRADING
The following grade scale applies throughout this course except on the final examination:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 75-79
F = less than 74.9
NOTE: A GRADE OF “D” IS NOT POSSIBLE IN THIS COURSE
MAKE-UP POLICY: If a student is absent for a quiz, a grade of “zero” will be given for the missed quiz. In case of an absence on a major exam day the student must make arrangements for make-up within 5 days from the time the major exam was given. The make-up will be given in essay format. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange to make-up the exam. Students arriving late on test day will not be given extra time to complete the test. Habitual tardiness for quizzes or major exams may result in a failing grade, at the instructor’s discretion.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: A student who plans to succeed in this course should plan to attend all course sessions regularly and promptly. Students are responsible for all information presented and assigned. In cases of an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain the missed information or assignments.
Course participants will be responsible for all material presented and for all assignments on the dates they are presented and/or due.
SUMMARY OF UNITS – The order of the schedule of weeks may change due to inservices with product sales reps. 200SURGICAL PROCEDURES – DIDACTIC PREFACE Objectives: The learner will be able to: 1. Apply medical terminology as it relates to each procedure. 2. Compare and contrast the approach for each procedure. 3. Review the anatomy and physiology for each procedure. 4. Discuss the diagnostic procedures and pathology used to obtain a diagnosis. 5. Describe preoperative patient preparation and considerations for each procedure. 6. Discuss the operative sequence for each procedure. 7. Recognize the necessary supplies, instrumentation, and equipment for each procedure. 8. Evaluate the use of medications for each procedure. 9. Identify the wound classifications for each procedure. 10. Discuss postoperative care, considerations, and potential complications for the surgical patient. Co-related Procedures Concept There are similar surgical procedures as far as instrumentation, supplies, patient positioning, and operative sequence. This is referred to as the “Co-Related Procedures Concept.” The purpose of using the Co-Related Procedures Concept is to allow the instructor time to teach surgical procedures and avoid repetition. For example, colon resection is listed in the core and is required to be taught. However, small bowel resection is not listed because the content is similar and therefore considered a co-related procedure. The instructor has the academic freedom to either inform the student that small bowel resection is performed like a colon resection, or they may choose to teach small bowel resection in more depth. Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Concept As with co-related procedures, the concept of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as an approach is used and describes any surgical approach other than open. Robotic-assisted and endoscopic procedures are categorized as MIS. Surgical approaches other than open are discussed in each specialty area. For example, in the Genitourinary procedures section, the robotic approach for prostatectomy is listed along with the open approach. The similarities in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and differentiation in teaching this approach for the procedure will occur with the equipment, instrumentation, and other special considerations and thus can be demonstrated to the student. Another example of an MIS concept is the laparoscopic approach for a cholecystectomy. Interventional Radiology (IR) Interventional radiology is a medical subspecialty that refers to a range of techniques utilizing radiologic image guidance and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in several surgical specialties. Procedures that may be performed with IR are listed in various didactic procedures sections.
