(The following clinical concentrations do involve patient/client treatment.)
Admission Requirements and Interview Process for Clinical Concentrations
Spring Coursework
Anesthesia Technologist
This concentration allows students to function as an integral member of an anesthesia team in a surgical setting. After completion of this concentration, students can work as an assistant in the operating room and can continue on to the post-baccalaureate program at UH in order to be eligible for the national certification examination. (total length of program 4 + 1 = 5 years)

Emergency and Disaster Management: EMT-Paramedic
This concentration expands upon conventional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training and better prepares EMS personnel for the realities of today’s workforce. Curriculum provides a foundation in the recognition and management of HAZMAT incidents, a comprehensive overview of nuclear, biological, and chemical agents that are more likely to be used as weapons of mass destruction, and an understanding of the tactics and objectives of terrorism. Students will also be trained as EMTs through a 120-hour EMT course. Graduates of this major will be the first generation of baccalaureate-prepared emergency medical technicians who are also intensely prepared in emergency and disaster management. These highly trained EMS providers will then enter our nationally recognized paramedical training major (1204 hours of study). Job opportunities may be found in private or public ambulance companies, fire departments and hospitals (total length of program 4 + 1 = 5 years) |
Medical Dosimetry
A medical dosimetrist is a member of the radiation oncology team. Medical dosimetrists have the education and expertise necessary to generate radiation dose distributions and dose calculations for cancer patients in collaboration with the medical physicist and the radiation oncologist. After completion of this concentration, students continue on to the post-baccalaureate program at UH in order to be eligible to take the national registry examination. Job opportunities may be found in cancer treatment centers, community hospitals, free-standing clinics and medical schools. (total length of program 4 + 1 = 5 years)
|
Nuclear Medicine Technology
This new concentration was designed to educate students to meet a growing need for highly trained technologists who utilize rapidly developing technologies to image the distribution of radioactive agents in the body. Nuclear medicine is widely used for imaging bodies of patients with cardiac conditions and those with cancer. After completion of this concentration, students continue on to the post-baccalaureate program in order to be eligible to take the national registry examination. Job opportunities may be found in hospitals, physicians’ offices and diagnostic laboratories. (total length of program 4 + 1 = 5 years)
|
Radiologic Technology
This concentration was developed to train students to meet the growing demand for technologists who image the body through the use of radiation equipment (X-ray technology). As a member of the radiological team, technologists capture images of bones, organs, and blood vessels as prescribed by physicians to assist in the diagnosis of diseases or injuries. After completion of this concentration, students continue on to the post-baccalaureate program in order to be eligible to take the national registry examination. Job opportunities may be found in hospitals, physicians’ offices, urgent care clinics, diagnostic laboratories and industry. (total length of program 4 + 1 = 5 years)
