Courses

This course addresses the techniques and effects of physical agents such as thermal, ultrasound, biofeedback, diathermy, compression, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation, as treatment and/or facilitator.

LAB. 2. Theory and practice of treating injury and pathology of various tissues of human body. Explore tissues that make integument: skin, muscle, bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, nerve, and joint capsule. Understand how they can be influenced by pathology and therapeutic modes. Introduce physiology of pain and explore treatments for pain. Explore physical agents (heat, cold, sound and electricity) and their adjunctive application, mechanism of action.

This course will enable the student to integrate assessment findings with principles of pathophysiology and knowledge of psychosocial needs to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for various special patient populations. During this course, the student will also complete a nationally recognized pediatric course (i.e. EPC, PALS, PEPP, etc.).

This course will enable the student to integrate assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a CENTRAL GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for a patient experiencing a cardiovascular emergency. Topics include: Cardiovascular Emergencies and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS).
