CATR 299 - Cancer Tumor Registry Practicum

3 Credits
Registration Internship/Practicum Note: Contact the Practicum Coordinator two semesters in advance of taking this course to begin the approval process. Approval for enrollment in the course is required by the Program Director.

This practicum course provides supervised professional practice projects structured to allow students learning experiences with a cancer tumor registry at a hospital hospital or a central registry (requiring at least 160 hours of experience per semester coupled with simulation activities). Principles of cancer registry management will be applied through observation and/or mentorship, and participation in a variety of cancer registry functions and simulations. The major emphasis is on the acquisition of knowledge, analysis of technical procedures and development of skills for the performance of those technical procedures. This course may require student travel. To meet course requirements the student will be required to be available during normal business hours (i.e. 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) for activities which may potentially include site visits, conduction of professional interviews, field trips, simulation, individual mentoring with a preceptor, or on-campus residency.

Grade Note(s): A grade of C or better is required to pass this course successfully.
Any unexcused non-attendance or dismissal from a clinical experience will result in a grade of F.
