Facilities

FacilitiesThe Indiana University Medical Center (IUMC) campuscovers some 85 acres within one mile of the centerof Indianapolis. About half of the first- and second-year classes are on the IUMC campus; the otherstudents are at one of other eight centers for medicaleducation. The School of Medicine's enrollment in 2013-14consisted of 1,318 M.D. students, 213 Ph.D. students,148M.S. students,46 joint M.D./Ph.D. students, and 265undergraduate students. In addition to opportunities atthe centers for medical education, M.D. students mayparticipate in clinical and elective rotations in physicianoffices and hospitals throughout the state and nation.Students may study or serve abroad during their medicalschool careers.

The IU School of Medicine includes several facilitieson the IUMC campus, including Fesler Hall, VanNuysMedical Sciences Building, Indiana Cancer Pavilion, IUCancer Research Institute, Research Institutes II andIII, the Rotary Building, and Emerson Hall. The WilliamH. Coleman Hospital, Robert W. Long Hospital, and theWillis D. Gatch Clinical Building have been renovatedto provide research and administrative offices at IUSM.Approximately one mile east of the IUMC campus, alongthe historic canal, sits the Medical Information ScienceBuilding, the IU Health Pathology Building, the RadiologyEducation and Research Institute, and Fairbanks Hall.

Hospitals that are staffed by faculty and provide residencytraining programs include Ezkenazi Health Hospital ,Roudebush VA Medical Center, Riley Hospital forChildren, Indiana University Hospital and OutpatientCenter, and LaRue Carter Psychiatric Hospital (whichis state owned and located about five minutes fromcampus). Riley and IU Hospital separated from the Schoolof Medicine in 1997 to join Methodist Hospital of Indianawhich is now part of IU Health. IU Health is committed tosupporting the school's mission of advancing education,research, and patient care. Located approximately twomiles from IUMC, Methodist Hospital provides additionalsignificant educational opportunities to IU students andresidents. The two "campuses" are linked by a peoplemover for the convenience of both staff and patients.Midway on the people mover is the new (2006) IU HealthPathology Building that houses the majority of hospitallaboratories for Riley, IU and Methodist hospitals and alsothe educational programs in Clinical Laboratory Science,Cytotechnology, and Histotechnology.

IU Health's hospitals - Riley Hospital for Children, IUHospital, and Methodist Hospital of Indiana - currentlyrecord approximately 1 million in- and out-patient visits peryear. The affiliated hospitals - Ezkenazi, Roudebush, andLaRue Carter - together handle another 1 million patientvisits each year. This enormous patient base provides abroad range of superb clinical educational opportunities.The hospitals host 83 residency and fellowship programswith 1155 residents and fellows and provide clinicalexperiences in both inpatient and outpatient facilities tosecond- through fourth-year students. IUSM's nearly 2000full-time teaching faculty members staff all the hospitals.In addition, the hospitals host educational programs for

nursing, dentistry, and health professions students as wellas Purdue University pharmacy doctoral students.


History of Current Degree Programs

History of Current Degree ProgramsAll Indiana University School of Medicine HealthProfessions Programs were formerly part of the IU Schoolof Allied Health Sciences. On July 1, 2002, eight programswere moved back to the IU School of Medicine as partof a restructuring of the new IU School of Health andRehabilitation Sciences, which moved toward a graduateschool model. One additional undergraduate programmoved on January 1, 2004, to complete the restructuringof the undergraduate programs.

The former IU School of Allied Health Sciences was firstestablished as a division in 1959 by action of the Trusteesof Indiana University. In 1960, the trustees conferred uponthe faculty of the IU School of Medicine the responsibilityand authority to grant the Bachelor of Science degree tothose students successfully completing the prescribedcurriculum in four allied health programs that had beenoffered long before the establishment of the division. Sincethat time, additional degree programs were approvedand initiated. In June 2003, the IU School of Allied HealthSciences was renamed the IU School of Health andRehabilitation Sciences.

History of the IU School of Medicine The IndianaUniversity School of Medicine (IUSM) was foundedin 1903, and its first students were enrolled on theBloomington campus. It was the fourth medical schoolin the United States, after Johns Hopkins, Harvard,and Western Reserve, to require two or more years ofcollegiate work for admission. The school awarded theDoctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree to its first class of 25 in1907. Following the union in 1908 of all medical schools inthe state within Indiana University, the General Assemblyof the State of Indiana, mandated, in 1909, that IndianaUniversity assume the responsibility for medical educationin the state.

Purpose & Philosophy

PurposeThe Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM)Health Professions Programs are charged with providingundergraduate health professions education on theIndiana University Purdue University campus inIndianapolis (IUPUI). These programs prepare healthprofessionals to provide diagnostic and therapeuticpatient care. As part of a major university, the programsaccept and fulfill four major responsibilities, by providing(1) opportunities to acquire a sound basic educationin the undergraduate health programs offered throughthe School of Medicine and to foster the developmentof lifelong habits of scholarship and service; (2)advancement of knowledge through research; (3)continuing education programs aimed at maintaining and

improving the competence of those health professionalsengaged in patient care or supportive health services; and(4) multiple services to the people of the state of Indiana inthese health professions.

PhilosophyThe IUSM Health Professions Programs are committedto the excellent quality preparation of health personnelwho have a concern for the well-being of the people theyserve. The programs integrate teaching, research, andservice through the efforts of their faculty and students.This integration results in high quality programs that havea significant positive impact on health care.

Each program offered provides the health professionsstudent with an opportunity to develop expertise, scientificknowledge, and professional attitudes that will enable thestudent to contribute to the health of society and obtaincareer satisfaction. The programs adhere to specificprofessional guidelines or standards and are designedin collaboration with the appropriate accrediting bodies.All curricula are based upon a foundation in the liberalarts and sciences, which is essential for an informed andproductive life.

The faculty believe that the education of healthprofessions personnel follows a coordinated and logicalinterdisciplinary process based on a core body ofknowledge germane to health professions practice. Bysharing experiences related to a variety of activities, thestudent is introduced to others who have both commonand unique educational interests. Appreciation of thecontribution of each health discipline and interactionwith peers and scholars in different health professionsencourage the coordination of health planning, healthservices, disease prevention, and health promotion.

Education is perceived by the faculty as an evolving andcontinuing process toward an increased ability to think,reason, and judge that leads to a satisfying and self-disciplined life. Effective education allows for individualdifference and is provided in a participative atmosphere.The faculty believe that freedom of choice and meaningfulassimilation of facts nurture the development of thestudents, enhance their understanding of patients'problems, and promote a dedication to lifelong self-evaluation and self-education.

Faculty of the IUSM Health Professions Programs are fullyqualified in their fields of expertise and hold appropriatedegrees and certification or licensure. In implementing theobjectives of their academic programs, they strive to keeptheir professional and teaching competencies current.The faculty are committed to preparing uniquely qualifiedpersonnel who must meet the challenges of the complexand ever-changing health care needs of society.

The graduates of IUSM Health Professions Programsshould be prepared to apply the knowledge they haveattained in their selected discipline. Graduates have aresponsibility to maintain competency through formaland informal continuing education and to contribute tonew knowledge in their discipline. Graduates have legal,moral, and ethical responsibilities to their employers,patients, and the public and are expected to participate incommunity and professional activities.

This statement of philosophy forms the core of valuesfrom which the IUSM Health Professions Programs vision,mission, objectives, policies, and procedures are derived.

May 19, 2014 5

admissions section of the Health Professions Programswebsite (http://medicine.iu.edu/hpp).

Applicants should also be aware of the following additionaldetails:

Preadmission StatusEnrollment at Indiana University does not guaranteeadmission to any of the IUSM Health ProfessionsPrograms. To be eligible for admission to one of thehealth professions programs, students must adhere to theacademic regulations of the academic unit in which theyare enrolled and meet IUSM Health Professions Programsand individual program preadmission requirementsas stipulated in the general education and programsections of this bulletin. Admission to many programs iscompetitive; therefore, completion of the prerequisitesdoes not guarantee admission to the program. In someinstances a student may be admitted to the IUSM asa preprofessional student; however, this status is foracademic advising purposes only and in no way influencesadmission into a professional program.

Change of Educational Objective for PreprofessionalStudentsChanging one's educational objective to a IUSM HealthProfessions Programs does not guarantee admissionto the program. Students considering a change in theireducational objective should consult with a counselor ontheir respective campuses before initiating the change.Pre-health professions students in University College,the IUSM, or other Indiana University schools or divisionsmust follow that academic unit's procedures for changingthe educational objective. All students must meet schooland individual program admission requirements in orderto be admitted to a professional program. Each HealthProfessions Program requires students to complete anapplication for admission to the specific program. Pleasesee program-specific sections for the individual programadmission deadlines.

Transfer CreditAcceptance of credit from a regionally accredited collegeor university for transfer to Indiana University will bedetermined by the campus admissions office.

While the grades from course work completed at IndianaUniversity and all other colleges and universities areused to calculate the admission grade point average,only grades of C (2.00) or above will be considered fortransfer. The university does not accept the transferof special credit by examination awarded by anothercollege or university. The transfer of credit earned througha regionally accredited junior college or a communitycollege is normally limited to the equivalent of two yearsof academic work toward a baccalaureate degree and oneyear of academic work toward an associate degree. TheIUSM retains the right to determine the acceptability oftransfer credit to meet degree requirements.


Admission Policies

Admission PoliciesThe admission policies of individual programs withinthe Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM)

Health Professions Programs comply with the followingstandards:Prerequisite Course Work Applicants must completeprerequisite courses at an accredited high school (or GEDequivalent), college, or university. Individual programsdetermine the specific courses and the minimum gradethat must be achieved in any course (see specific programinformation); therefore, program-specific requirementsmay differ. Pass/fail grades are not acceptable inprerequisite courses unless pre-approved by the specificprogram. Students are eligible to apply for admission to anassociate or baccalaureate program when their academicprogress shows reasonable probability that entry-levelrequirements can be completed before the beginningdate of the next class entering the professional program.Applicants should read the admission policies andprogram descriptions in the school and program sectionsof this bulletin for specific entry-level requirements.

Grade Requirements Without exception, applicants toa degree program must have a cumulative grade pointaverage of at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale for all coursework completed at Indiana University and/or any othercollege or university. Some programs have establisheda minimum grade point average higher than 2.00 on a4.00 scale. Some programs also use a component of theoverall grade point average (e.g., math/science gradepoint average). See specific program information. Onlycompleted course work and the resultant grade pointaverage are evaluated. Radiography Program applicantsmay have the high school record evaluated. In theseinstances only academic course work taken during highschool will be used in calculating the admission gradepoint average. Students applying for a degree programmay not be admitted to, hold a position in, or begin aprogram if they would be on probation as a student inany of the IUSM Health Professions Programs. Studentsare placed on probation within the School when thecumulative and/or most recently completed semestergrade point average falls below 2.00 on a 4.00 scale. Theapplicant must also maintain the minimum grade pointaverage as established by the program. The applicant'sgrade point average will be the major consideration (51percent or greater) for admission. (See specific programinformation.)

Repeated Courses Applicants whose cumulativegrade point average is at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scaleand who have repeated courses may petition to havetheir admission grade point average recalculated. Therecalculation will use the most recent grade of therepeated course. This repeat option includes the useof the Indiana University FX option and is applied withthe following restrictions: It can be used for a total of nomore than 15 credits; the grade will be deleted not morethan twice for a given course; each attempt will counttoward the 15-credit-hour limit; and a W cannot be usedto replace a grade and will not count toward the 15 credithours. If more than 15 credit hours are repeated, theapplicant will determine which of the repeated coursesare to be deleted. The petition must be attached to theapplication. The effective date is the beginning of the 1996fall semester. Any course being used to replace an earliercourse grade must be taken in the fall of 1996 or later.

Academic Bankruptcy Applicants whose cumulativegrade point average is at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale may


6 May 19, 2014

petition the program for up to one year (fall, spring, andsummer) of academic bankruptcy based on compellingnonacademic reasons. The bankrupted semesters mustbe consecutive. Academic bankruptcy is for admissionpurposes only and in no way affects the university'sofficial grade point average. Course work completedin a semester that has been bankrupted for admissionpurposes cannot be used for the fulfillment of programprerequisites or counted as credit hours toward thedegree. The petition must be attached to the application.

Fresh Start Applicants whose cumulative grade pointaverage is at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale may petitionthe program for Fresh Start (forgiveness) based oncompelling nonacademic reasons. This forgiveness willeliminate, for the purpose of calculating program specificadmission grade point average(s), all courses and gradesearned by the applicant during the requested period.The forgiveness period begins with the applicant's firstacademic enrollment period (at any college or university)and ends after the academic term designated by theapplicant. Course work completed in a semester that hasbeen bankrupted for admission purposes cannot be usedfor the fulfillment of program prerequisites or countedas credit hours toward the degree. The petition must beattached to the application and must include the beginningand ending dates of the forgiveness period.

To invoke this policy, the student must meet the followingthree conditions:

1. Including all course work taken during the requestedacademic forgiveness period, applicants must haveat least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (on a4.00 scale).

2. After the designated forgiveness period, applicantsmust complete the following minimum number ofgraded course hours based on the degree level oftheir program of interest - Bachelor's Degree - 50credit hours of graded course work or AssociateDegree* - 12 credit hours of graded course work.

3. Meet all other program-specific admissionrequirements.

Applicants may include in-progress course work at thetime of the specific program’s application deadline towardthe minimum number of graded course work required afterthe designated forgiveness period.

*Applicants to the Radiography Program must completeat least one math/science course as part of the 12credit hours of graded course work completed after theacademic forgiveness period.

NOTE: Fresh Start will not be granted for professionalRadiologic Sciences courses for those applying to theMedical Imaging Technology Program.

Credit by Examination Applicants to any of the HealthProfessions Programs who have received credit byexamination from Indiana University in a course thatmeets a program prerequisite will be viewed as meetingthis specified requirement. Application of this policy formath/science prerequisites will be determined at theprogram level. Any credit by examination hours receivedby the student must be transferred onto the student'suniversity transcript before it can be considered asmeeting a program's admissions prerequisite.

At IUPUI, credit by examination can be earned from thefollowing sources: Advance Placement (AP), the CollegeLevel Examination Program (CLEP), the Defense Activityfor Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), andIndiana University departmental examinations. See IUPUIAdmissions for required documents and procedures onreceiving credit. Students at Indiana University whosestandardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are high enough tohave course content waived by a particular academic unitmay request the specific program's admissions committeeto accept this waiver.

Undistributed Credit Upon admission to any of theIndiana University campuses, students with course workcompleted previously at accredited colleges or universitiesare awarded the appropriate transfer credit for this prioreducation. Transfer credits are either matched to theappropriate course equivalent (e.g., ENG-W 131) on thatIU campus or transferred as undistributed credit (e.g.,ENG-UN 100). Some campuses have policies that limit thenumber of credits that students may receive for their prioreducation.

When transfer credits are designated as 'undistributed,'this simply means that the transfer credit analyst for thespecific campus did not find an equivalent course at thatIU campus. These credits can still be applied for usetowards any of the School's degree programs, but cannotbe used to meet the IUPUI General Education Core.

When a student has been given 'undistributed' credits,it is the student's responsibility to contact the School'sAdministrative Office to determine how these creditswill be accepted by the admission committee of thestudent's program of interest. Such a request should bemade in writing (preferably via email) to a member of theadministrative staff. The request will then be forwarded tothe appropriate admissions committee for consideration.

Undistributed credit can be re-evaluated for equivalency toan IUPUI course number. Please contact the IUPUI Officeof Admissions for further details on this process.

Testing Applicants may be required to complete testing asdesignated by the program. Testing results may be usedas a component of the admissions decision unless theiruse would violate state or federal law.

Interview Applicants may be required to complete apersonal interview. The interview may be a component ofthe admission decision. Some programs limit the numberof interviews granted based on the number of applicationsreceived.

Technical Standards for Admission andRetention Because a degree in a health professionsdiscipline attests to the mastery of knowledge and skills,graduates must possess the essential knowledge andskills to function in a broad variety of clinical situationsand render a wide spectrum of patient care in a safe andeffective manner.

The School of Medicine Health Professions Programsfaculty has therefore specified nonacademic criteria,Technical Standards for Admission and Retention, that allapplicants and students are expected to meet in order toparticipate in a health professions program. These criteriainclude the following five categories: (1) observation;(2) communication; (3) motor function; (4) intellectual-

May 19, 2014 7

conceptual, integrative, and quantitative abilities; and (5)behavioral and social attributes. All accepted students willbe required to sign a statement certifying that they canmeet the technical standards that apply to the program towhich they have been admitted.

A copy of the technical standards will be sent to eachapplicant with an offer of admission. Additionally, a copymay be obtained from the program of interest or theHealth Professions Programs Administrative Office.

Preference to In-State Residents Preference is givento applicants who are Indiana residents and to applicantswho complete the majority of applicable course work ata public college or university in Indiana. Each program'sadmissions committee determines how the preferencepolicy shall be weighted in their admissions policies.

Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy IndianaUniversity pledges itself to continue its commitment to theachievement of equal opportunity within the university andthroughout American society as a whole. In this regard,Indiana University will recruit, hire, promote, educate, andprovide services to persons based upon their individualqualifications. Indiana University prohibits discriminationbased on arbitrary considerations of such characteristicsas age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity,marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexualorientation, or veteran status.

Indiana University shall take affirmative action, positiveand extraordinary, to overcome the discriminatory effectsof traditional policies and procedures with regard to thedisabled, minorities, women, and Vietnam-era veterans.

Policy Changes IUSM Health Professions ProgramsAdmissions Committees are charged with setting theminimum standards for entry into their specific program.These policies build upon the School's Minimum DegreeRequirements. The School and Program criteria foradmission include, but are not limited to the minimumgrade point average for admission, specific prerequisitecourses required for entry, and minimum number of credithours needed at program entry. Minimum grade pointaverages can include both cumulative, specific (e.g. math& sciences course), and minimum grade required in eachprerequisite course.

When a change to any School or Program criterion ismade, it will become effective for applicants who applyfor admission during the specific program's applicationdeadline immediately following the announced change.

Any changes in a specific program's requirements willbe announced on the School's website and in advisingmaterials made available to students. Changes will also bedistributed to university counselors and constituents whowork with pre-health professions students state-wide.

• Core Communication• Analytical Reasoning• Cultural Understanding• Life and Physical Sciences• Arts/Humanities• Social Sciences

The IUPUI General Education Core is also based on theIUPUI Principles of Undergraduate Learning, the essentialingredients of an undergraduate educational experienceat IUPUI. These principles form a conceptual frameworkfor all students' general education but necessarilypermeate the curriculum in the major field of study aswell. More specific expectations for IUPUI's graduatesare determined by the faculty in a student's major fieldof study. Together, these expectations speak to whatgraduates of IUPUI will know and what they will be able todo upon completion of their degree.

IUPUI General Education Courses

The IUPUI General Education Core provides a strongfoundation for a rich and intellectually challengingundergraduate experience. Over 180 courses have beenrigorously reviewed and approved to the IUPUI GeneralEducation Core by faculty members from all academicunits, providing IUPUI students with a diverse array ofoptions for fulfilling their general education requirements.Course work is divided into the broad domains ofFoundational Intellectual Skills (Core Communication,Analytical Reasoning, and Cultural Understanding) andcourse work that promotes Intellectual Breadth andAdaptiveness (Life and Physical Sciences; and Arts,Humanities, and Social Sciences).

FOUNDATIONAL INTELLECTUAL SKILLS

Students must take 15 credit hours related to FoundationalIntellectual Skills. This includes 6 credits related to CoreCommunication skills, 6 credits in Analytical Reasoning,and 3 credits related to Cultural Understanding.

• Core Communication (Principle of UndergraduateLearning 1): 6 credits

• Analytical Reasoning (Principles of UndergraduateLearning 1 and 2): 6 credits

• Cultural Understanding (Principle of UndergraduateLearning 6): 3 credits

INTELLECTUAL BREADTH AND ADAPTIVENESS

Courses pertaining to Intellectual Breadth andAdaptiveness help to foster the "ways of knowing" thatare characteristic of particular fields ranging from scienceand the social sciences through humanities and arts. Thisincludes 6 credits in the Life and Physical Sciences, and9 credits distributed across the Arts/Humanities and theSocial Sciences.

• Life and Physical Sciences (Principle ofUndergraduate Learning 4): 6 credits

• Arts/Humanities and Social Sciences (Principle ofUndergraduate Learning 4): 9 credits total, with atleast 3 credits in each area

In addition to the above General Education Corerequirements, students are strongly encouraged to learn todo word processing, use e-mail, and navigate the Internetbefore the beginning of the professional program. Seeprogram-specific sections for program requirements.


Professional Program Requirements

Professional Program RequirementsAn outline of the professional program is in the program-specific information in this bulletin.

Clinical Rotation Requirements During an educationalprogram in the Health Professions Programs, studentscomplete clinical rotations in several hospitals or otherclinical sites in the central Indiana and/or the Indianapolismetropolitan area. Clinical affiliation agreement for manylocations now mandate a complete criminal historybackground check and drug screen. For that reason,all entering students are required to comply with theserequirements prior to entry. In addition, students mustalso meet stated immunization requirements, complete anannual health screen, and get an annual flu shot. Uponentry, students must also submit proof of health insurance.

Requirement to Disclose

The IU School of Medicine Health Professions Programs(IUSM HPP) requires students to meet this requirement bysubmitting a Student Disclosure Form.

While a criminal history is not an automatic barrier tofinal consideration for entry into one of the school’sdegree programs, each applicant’s circumstances willbe considered on a case by case basis. Applicants areadvised that the School relies on third parties, such ashospitals and other health facilities, to provide clinicaleducation and that a criminal history can affect theSchool’s ability to find placement for students; IUSM HPPhas no control over these third parties and the Schoolmakes no guarantee that it can place any student, withor without a criminal history. In addition to placement,certain criminal convictions may also have bearing onan individual’s ability to obtain or maintain a professional

10 May 19, 2014

license and/or employment, and applicants are advised toreview these standards carefully.

Candor about the applicant’s criminal history is highlyimportant: failure to disclose may result in the withdrawalof acceptance or, in the case of an accepted ormatriculated student, dismissal from IUSM HPP. You arerequired to notify the HPP Administrative Office on anannual basis or more frequently, of any changes in yourstatus.

Full Disclosure Requirement

Applicants are required to disclose any convictions,pending criminal charges, probation/diversion, etc., inwriting. You must report anything that may come up ona national background check. You must complete thisform to the best of your ability. If in doubt, disclose thecharge. This means that your answers must be truthful,accurate, and complete. If you know of certain informationyet are unsure whether to disclose it, you must disclosethe information.

I understand that, as part of my conditional admissionsstatus, I must submit to and pay any costs required forcriminal background checks. I understand that informationobtained from a criminal history check may result in afailure to be approved for required clinical assignments,and as such may result in my inability to progress throughmy degree program.

I understand that, as part of my conditional admissionsstatus, I must submit to and pay any costs assessed forany drug screen required by a clinical site that mandatessuch screens for its workforce, including trainees. Iunderstand that information obtained from a drug screenmay result in a failure to be approved for required clinicalassignments, and as such may result in my inability toprogress through my degree program.

I understand the IUSM HPP reserve the authority todetermine my eligibility to be admitted to the program and/or progress in the program.

In the circumstance where the education program isunable to place a student in the appropriate clinical settingto meet degree requirements, there is the possibility that astudent may be unable to complete the degree program.

The certification examination may varyfrom state to state. The EMT-basic exam in Indiana isthe written and skill exam from the Indiana Department ofHomeland Security.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Description of the Profession and CareerRequirementsEmergency medical technicians respondto emergency calls to provide efficient and immediatecare to the critically ill and injured, and they transportpatients to medical facilities. After receiving the call fromthe dispatcher, the EMT-basic drives the ambulance tothe address or location given, using the most expeditiousroute, depending on traffic and weather conditions. TheEMT-basic observes traffic ordinances and regulationsconcerning emergency vehicle operation, and upon arrivalat the scene of crash or illness, parks the ambulancein a safe location to avoid additional injury. Beforeinitiating patient care, the EMT-basic also sizes up thescene to determine that the scene is safe, to identifythe mechanism of injury or nature of illness and totalnumber of patients, and to request additional help ifnecessary. In the absence of law enforcement, the EMT-basic creates a safe traffic environment, through suchmeans as the placement of road flares, removal of debris,and redirection of traffic for the protection of the injuredand those assisting in emergency care. The EMT-basic


22 May 19, 2014

determines the nature and extent of illness or injury andestablishes priority for required emergency care. Based onassessment findings, the EMT-basic renders emergencymedical care to medical and trauma patients. Dutiesinclude, but are not limited to, opening and maintaining anairway; ventilating patients; cardiopulmonary resuscitation,including use of automated external defibrillators; andproviding pre-hospital emergency medical care ofsimple and multiple system trauma, such as controllinghemorrhage, treating shock (hypo-perfusion), bandagingwounds, and immobilizing of painful, swollen, or deformedextremities. Other duties include assisting in childbirth;management of respiratory, cardiac, diabetic, allergic,behavioral, and environmental emergencies; and dealingwith suspected poisonings. The EMT-basic searchesfor medical identification emblems as clues in providingemergency care. Additional care, including administeringmedications, is provided based upon assessing patientsand obtaining historical information.

When a patient must be extricated from entrapment,the EMT-basic assesses the extent of injury and givesall possible emergency care and protection to theentrapped patient and uses the prescribed techniquesand appliances for safe removal, including contactdispatchers for additional help or special rescue and/orutility services. The EMT-basic provides simple rescueservice if an ambulance has not been accompaniedby a specialized unit. The EMT-basic complies withregulations on handling victims of fatalities. Other dutiesinclude lifting, securing, and removing stretchers. Fromthe knowledge of the condition of patients, the extentof injuries, and the relative locations and staffing ofemergency hospital facilities, the EMT-basic determinesthe most appropriate facility to which a patient will betransported and communicates effectively with emergencydepartments and communications centers. The EMT-basic also identifies assessment findings that may requirecommunication with medical personnel.

The EMT-basic provides assistance to receiving facilitystaff upon request and ensures that ambulances are keptin optimal condition. Members of the profession mustmaintain familiarity with specialized equipment and attendcontinuing education and refresher training programs asrequired by employers, medical direction, and licensingor certifying agencies. They must also meet qualificationswithin the functional job analysis.

RadiographyAn educational program in radiography is located on theIndiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis campusand housed in the IU School of Medicine Department ofRadiology and Imaging Sciences.

Description of the Profession Radiology is a scienceinvolving the medical use of X rays in the diagnosis ofdisease. A radiologist is a physician specializing in thisscience, and a radiographer (or radiologic technologist)produces radiographic images under the direction of theradiologist. Radiographers make up the largest groupof imaging professionals. Their principal duties consistof performing diagnostic x-ray procedures of patients,with the lowest amount of radiation exposure possible.They also assist in fluoroscopic examinations and inspecial radiographic procedures. Other tasks performedby radiographers vary. Radiographers must be able tohandle seriously ill and injured patients to obtain themaximum amount of information without injury to thepatient and with the least amount of pain and discomfortfrom the examination. They may assist the radiologistin some complex procedures, often involving theinjection of opaque media through needles or catheters.Radiographers must be well educated and experienced in

May 19, 2014 41

aseptic techniques, requiring skills comparable to thoseof nurses in some specialties. Most technologists areemployed in hospitals, clinics, and physicians' offices.

Graduates of the Program Graduates receive anassociate of science degree from Indiana Universityand are eligible to take the certification examinationof the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists(ARRT) to become certified as a registered technologist(radiography), R.T.(R).

Credential Required to Practice R.T.(R) RegisteredTechnologist (Radiography).

Indiana Requirements to Practice A State license is required to operate an X-ray machine. The stateaccepts the ARRT registry credential to satisfy educationalrequirements for licensure.

Length of the Program A new class begins in summersession II each year and continues for 22 months,including all summer sessions.

Structure of the Program The 22-month curriculum forradiography is based on a combination of professionalcourses, general-education courses, and clinicalexperience. Professional classes and clinical experienceare scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday throughFriday. While in the program, students are also requiredto participate in clinical experience on two Saturdays andin four weeks of evening rotations. Indiana Universityholidays are observed. The schedule of classes andclinical experiences closely follows the IUPUI academiccalendar. Vacations do not constitute excused absencesand, if taken, must occur during the breaks betweenacademic sessions of the university.

Design of the Professional Curriculum The general-education courses, professional lecture/laboratorycourse material, and clinical experiences are integratedthroughout the program.

Additional Cost In addition to regular university tuitionand fees, students should expect to pay for program-

related expenses such as books, uniforms, and othersupplies.

Opportunity for Students to Work There are norestrictions on the number of hours a student may workduring the program. The radiology departments of manyhospitals have part-time evening and weekend positionsthat are suitable for radiography students. The studentmust recognize, however, that the professional curriculumrequires approximately 25–32 hours per week of on-campus participation in classroom, laboratory, and clinicalcourse work. Study time and completion of generaleducation courses must also be considered. Whilemost of the professional course activities are scheduledduring daytime hours on Monday through Friday, thereare several clinical experiences that require studentparticipation on weekends and evenings.

Program Facilities The Radiography Program is offeredin Indianapolis at the Indiana University Medical Center.The program offices, classrooms, and laboratory facilitiesare located on the first floor of the Gatch Hall (ClinicalBuilding). Students obtain clinical experience in theradiology departments located in IU Health (University,Riley, IU-West, IU-Saxony hospitals), Eskenazi Health, theVeterans Administration hospitals, Franciscan St. FrancisHealth (Indianapolis and Mooresville), and OrthoIndy(Northwest, West, Indianapolis Orthopaedic Hospital).Students should expect to rotate to at least four clinicalsites during the program.

Accreditation The associate degree program inradiography is fully accredited by the Joint ReviewCommittee on Education in Radiologic Technology, 20 N.Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182, (312)704-5300, www.jrcert.org.

Students are informed ofprogram, academic, and professional standards duringprogram orientation.

Class Standing Within Indiana University, class standingis based on the total number of credit hours a studenthas earned. However, within the Health ProfessionsPrograms, class standing is assigned according to astudent’s progress in the professional curriculum.

Semester Load To be considered a full-time student bythe university for each session, the student must registerfor a minimum of 12 credit hours each fall, spring, orcombined summer terms. The maximum load is 18 credithours (9 hours in a summer session). Students who wantto carry more than 18 credits must obtain permission ofthe program director and the dean or the dean’s designee.In addition, students should have a cumulative 3.00 (B)average or have earned a 3.00 (B) average in their last fullsemester.

Probation Upon the recommendation of the facultyin the student’s program, a student is placed onprobation. Probationary recommendations are madewhen the student does not meet standards of academicperformance or professional behavior. A student willbe placed on academic probation for the academicsession following the one in which the student fails toattain a minimum 2.00 (C) cumulative or semester gradepoint average. Individual programs may have additionalacademic and professional standards. A student who failsto meet these program-specific standards may also beplaced on probation.

HonorsDegrees Awarded with Distinction (IU policy) Theuniversity recognizes a student's superior performancein course work by awarding the associate or bachelor'sdegree with one of three levels of distinction: distinction,high distinction, or highest distinction. A student mustmeet the following criteria to receive a degree awardedwith distinction.

1. Baccalaureate and associate degree candidatesmust rank in the highest 10 percent of theirgraduating class. The determination of eligibility forgraduation with academic distinction will be madeby the School so that candidates will be ranked withclassmates who received the same type of degrees(e.g., B.S. in Cytotechnology, B.S. in NuclearMedicine Technology). Programs with students whoenter with a different cohort class or track can awardhonors to each separate group.

2. If the 10 percent determination of any class resultsin a fractional value, the number will be roundedup (i.e., a graduating class of 11 would have twoindividuals eligible for distinction).

3. Calculation of the grade point average for graduationwith distinction will be based on the total numberof credit hours completed at Indiana University. Acandidate for a baccalaureate degree must havecompleted a minimum of 60 credit hours at IndianaUniversity; associate degree candidates must havecompleted at least half of the credit hours requiredfor their degree at Indiana University.

4. No more than 10 percent of the Indiana Universitycredit hours may be eliminated from the gradepoint average determination by utilization of themechanisms of Pass/Fail or special credit.

5. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50must have been achieved.

6. Three levels of distinction will be recognized anddetermined as follows: 3.50 through 3.74-Distinction;3.75 through 3.89-High Distinction; 3.90 through4.00-Highest Distinction.

7. The determination of candidates who will wearhonor cords at the May graduation ceremoniesshould include all academic credit earned at IndianaUniversity, including the spring semester beforecommencement.

8. Unique cases and appeals should be forwardedto the School's dean or the dean's designee forconsideration.

Dean's List (School Policy) Each semester, studentswho excel academically have the privilege of being listedon the IU School of Medicine Health (IUSM) ProfessionsPrograms Dean's List. To be eligible, students must carry9 or more credit hours and must earn a semester gradepoint average of 3.50.
