Partnering organizations include:. The classroom and learning laboratory for Westside students is located at Tacoma General Hospital, in Tacoma, Washington.
Westside students participate in SCC classes via real-time, interactive videoconferencing, and complete on-line learning modules independently. The Westside Lab Instructor teaches skills in the laboratory to Westside students, and students complete almost hours of clinical training at cath labs in Western Washington hospitals.
Westside students are required to attend lectures and lab sessions at the Westside classroom in Tacoma approximately four to five days per week. For general application information, please visit our Westside Application Information page. For pre-requisites, visit our Prerequisites page.

This course is an overview of cardiovascular invasive diagnosis and intervention. Includes an introduction to the cardiac catheterization lab through the study of: Catheterization protocols and equipment. Angiographic anatomy of the cardiovascular system, and invasive cardiac measurements and calculations. Labs and tours will be provided. This is the lab supporting ICT Skills taught will be procedural tables and equipment used in cardiac catheterization.
Simulations of vascular access techniques and cannulation of model vascular systems will be utilized. Computer analysis of recorded hemodynamic parameters will be introduced by use of a physiologic monitor. Injector system parameters will be taught. This course is an advanced study of normal cardiovascular physiology presented in a series of physician lectures and lab demonstrations with applications in invasive and noninvasive cardiology.
A study of radiation production and safety measures for health care providers. This class will prepare the student to work in the fluoroscopic and cine imaging environment of the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Patient and staff exposure protection are emphasized. Surgical asepsis for health care providers.
This class will prepare the student to create a sterile field. Gown and glove themselves and others. Procedural awareness of working in a sterile field will be developed.
This class supports ICT The skills of surgical asepsis and infection control are taught. Working in a sterile field and gowning and gloving are taught. Develop a surgical conscience. Develop patient care skills specific to patients with cardiovascular disease. Read a medical chart to identify risks for invasive procedures. Understand the expected response of the physician to various patient presentations.
This class prepares the student to enter the clinical environment of the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Patient care skills and procedural steps will be practiced. Initial clinical experience of clock hours. Focus on diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedural participation.
This course develops the cognitive skills required for advanced cardiac life support required by the American Heart Association. Combined with another lab portion and mega code allows the student to hold an ACLS card. Prerequisite: Completion of previous quarter. This course develops the technical skills required by the American Heart Association, when combined with the lecture course to hold an ACLS card.
Introduction to the field of cardiovascular technology, basic cardiac anatomy, physiology and electrophysiology with emphasis on the performance and interpretation of the electrocardiogram. Laboratory experiences will support these concepts and provide simulated clinical situations and effective performance on the modality.
Prerequisite: Admission to program. Students are introduced to the field of cardiovascular technology, basic cardiac anatomy; physiology and electrophysiology with emphasis on the performance and interpretation of the electrocardiogram.
Laboratory experiences to support these concepts also are included. This course will focus on the percutaneous interventions performed in today's cardiac cath lab. Including, but not limited to: Stenting, balloon angioplasty, intravascular ultrasound, atherectomy, thrombectomy, ocular coherence tomography, and other techniques. This class will explore the cardiovascular diagnostic and interventions in non-cardiac vascular beds. This field is known as "Special Procedures" or Interventional Radiology.
This class will introduce the sub-specialty of electrophysiology EP , this is the first of 2 classes. In this class we will investigate the role of EP in cardiology. A study of diagnostic protocols and implantable devices like pacers and defibrillators will be introduced.
This skills lab supports the ICT , and didactic content. This course continues to develop the skills from Cath Lab Clinical I. Students move into more complex procedures, such as percutaneous coronary interventions. Including, but not limited to: Stents, balloon angioplasty, intracoronary ultrasound. Monitor, scrub and circulator roles should be practiced.
This course describes the pathophysiology of pulmonary diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. Educational Rights of Students in Temporary or Transitional Housing Situations: The right the stay in their school school of origin , even if they move out of the school district. Students can remain in their school until the end of the school year even if they find permanent housing. The right to immediate school enrollment and full participation in all school activities for eligible students, without proof of residency, immunization records, or other medical records, school records, or other documents.
The right to get transportation to their school of origin provided or arranged by the school district, or a joint effort between school districts. The right to attend school district pre-school programs.
The right to have disagreements over enrollment with the school settled quickly, and attend the school the student selects while the disagreement is being settled. The right to the same opportunity to meet the same high academic standards as all students. Students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to contact our HEART Liaisons at any time during the school year, should they find themselves facing homelessness or if their circumstances change and they need resources.
