24 courses with the subject RCP, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
RCP 210Basic Skills in Respiratory Care Practice2
This course is an introduction of basic skills fundamental to the practices of Respiratory Care. Content includes but is not limited to principles of documentation, patient assessment techniques, patient safety techniques, medical devices use, and AARC clinical practice guidelines. The course consists of 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab per week.
This course will introduce students to essential behaviors applicable to clinical practicum courses. Course content will explore requirements related patient safety, scopes of clinical practice, basic patient assessment, and documentation of clinical practicum activities.
Application of client assessment, treatment, and evaluation in the general care environment of the hospital. Reinforcement of concepts and skills learned in current and prior didactic lab courses will be applied. Competency evaluation of Respiratory Care modalities will be completed.
Course introduces foundational elements of clinical practice. Practicum emphasizes basic assessment of cardiopulmonary function; collection and interpretation of clinical findings; and documentation of assessment findings and respiratory care therapeutics/intervention.
Course covers general principles of pharmacology as well as respiratory, anti‐infective, and cardiovascular system drugs. Selected central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, corticosteroid, diuretic, and antacid agents as they relate to respiratory and critical care will be discussed.
Course content is a comprehensive study of the physiologic principles and functions relevant to ventilation; impaired ventilation and therapeutic interventions; and indications for mechanical ventilation.
A study of the fundamental laws and theories of chemistry, physics, and patient care procedures as related to respiratory care. Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
Study of respiratory care modalities, equipment design and operation, up to mechanical ventilatory support. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
Study of the initiation, implementation, and discontinuation of adult mechanical ventilation. Includes identification and treatment of respiratory failure in the adult. ACLS Certification is included. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
This course involves the study of pharmacotherapies commonly administered in the care of critically ill or injured patients, with an emphasis on acute care management. Course content includes the clinical application and assessment parameters monitored when neuromuscular, sedative, anesthetic, analgesics, antimicrobials, and resuscitation‐related drugs are administered.
This course involves the application of advanced respiratory care therapeutic and diagnostic interventions commonly performed in critical care settings. Application of knowledge and skills essential to mechanical ventilatory support and airway management are emphasized in this course. Concepts and skills from prior and current didactic, laboratory and clinical practicum courses will be reinforced, as applicable. Competency evaluation of respiratory care modalities will be completed.
This course builds on the concepts of Anatomy and Physiology I and II using Human Patient Simulators and case study analysis as the principal methodologies. Learning will focus on multi‐system interactions, which will apply how the body systems affect each other and how they perform when disease is present. The knowledge of the functions of each system will be applied to understanding how body processes occur.
This course involves study of diagnostic techniques and interpretation of findings relevant to assessing cardiopulmonary physiology and function. Diagnostic procedures to be explored include: pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, electrocardiography, radiography, and arterial sampling.
A focus on the underlying principles common to disease processes. This course expands on how alterations of structure and function disrupt the human body as a whole. The course offers students the opportunity to observe various physiological changes of the body and how they manifest impact on various systems by incorporating simulation. Prerequisites: BIO 201 and BIO 202 or BIO 342 and BIO 345. Cross‐listed with BIO 310.
Application of advanced respiratory care modalities in the critical care, neonatal intensive care, and home care settings. Reinforcement of concepts and skills learned in current and prior didactic lab courses will be applied. Competency evaluation of respiratory care modalities will be completed.
Application of specialty care modalities within and beyond the acute care setting. Reinforcement of concepts and skills learned in current and prior didactic/lab courses will be applied. Competency evaluation of respiratory care modalities will be completed.
Comprehensive assessment of knowledge‐base and skillset requirements essential to clinical practice and workforce readiness; includes student‐ driven facilitation of current trends and needs in professional practice.
Provides an opportunity for intensive study and experience in an area of the student’s choice. Can include, but is not limited to, research, education, management, business, neonatal care, ECMO, subacute/home care, physician office practice, case management, diagnostics, hyperbaric medicine, or polysomnography.
This course involves the study of fetal development and transition into an extrauterine environment. Course content will also explore diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic interventions, as applicable to common cardiopulmonary disorders impacting the fetus and neonatal patient, to include stabilization and resuscitation techniques.
RCP 433Expanded Clinical Practices in Respiratory Care2
Course provides an overview of the roles of respiratory care practitioners beyond that of the traditional acute care environment. Content explores roles and responsibilities relative to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation; home and palliative care; primary care; case management; and polysomnography.
