DMS-229 Credits:2 DMS Clinical Experience 4 This fi nal clinical experience course is a continuation of DMS-225, which requires DMS students to integrate and apply all knowledge learned in previous courses to the production of high-quality images in the clinical setting. DMS students perform sonographic exams on patients with limited direct and mainly indirect supervision. Students apply scanning skills in a healthcare setting while adhering to the sonographer’s code of ethics. Students are encouraged to demonstrate independent judgment in the performance of clinical competencies. Participation in this course will take place at a hospital or clinic. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program (10-526-2). Complete DMS-220. Completion of or currently enrolled in DMS-225. ECON – Economics (Department 809) ECON-195 Credits:3 Economics This course is designed to give an overview of microeconomics, macroeconomics and international economics. Concepts include scarcity, resources, alternative economic systems, growth, supply and demand, monetary and fi scal policy, in fl ation, unemployment, and global economic issues. ECON-201 Credits:3 Principles of Microeconomics This course covers the following topics: price mechanisms, price determination in the products and factors markets, analysis of market structures, business decisions with regard to cost analysis, output determinations, and employing factors of production. Other topics such as regulation vs. deregulation, international trade and economic development will also be discussed. ECON-202 Credits:3 Principles of Macroeconomics This course covers national income and product analysis, fi nancial institutions and the Federal Reserve System, and macroeconomic models and their application to the problems of in fl ation, unemployment and business fl uctuations. The lines between economic problems, theory and public policy are emphasized. ECON-215 Credits:3 Economics of Discrimination Economic theory is used to examine discrimination with an emphasis on the labor market and inequality in the U.S. Topics include fundamental economic theory, the labor market, the basis and measurement of discrimination, inequality, and the laws and policies relating to discrimination.
