Edgewood College courses in green are electives that would enable students to complete their general education requirements. The other Edgewood
College classes listed are currently available and being taught at the College. The students apply to the School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography in
the Fall semester of their junior year. The UWHC is a very competitive program with excellent certification and employment success and this
curriculum has been designed to specifically improve Edgewood College students’ likelihood of acceptance. Interested students should seek advice
from their major advisor as to how to improve their chances of admission to the UWHC program. The students will interview around the time of
spring break in their junior year, and if accepted, they will continue onto the University of Wisconsin’s Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC) for their final
2 years. If the students are not accepted into the program, the students can choose to focus on their research requirement for the Biology major, and
complete BIO 252. The students who become Biology majors will have enough time to complete the remaining required courses for the Biology
major (BIO 351, 352, 401, 250, 480) in their fourth year at Edgewood College.
Additional Requirements:

Practical experience in patient care is required prior to acceptance in the UWHC program, and significantly enhances your application if you
have this experience prior to your application to UWHC in the Fall semester of your Junior year. Experience caring for the sick is beneficial in
that it prepares you for clinical practice and such experience can be obtained through employment (general or through CNA certification) or
volunteer activities in nursing homes, hospitals, clinics including urgent care, trauma centers, and imaging centers. The UWHC requires a
minimum of 100 hours of clinical practice experience.

Students are required to shadow a radiographer 4-8 hours prior to application to UWHC in the Fall semester of your Junior year. Please talk to
your major advisor for information as to how to request a shadowing experience through UWHC.

Students are required to have completed their Certified Nursing Assistant certification (CNA) prior to starting their coursework at the UWHC.
Students are recommended to complete their CNA certification in their Freshman year so that they can use this certification to work in summers
as CNAs in order to gain clinical practice experience, which counts toward the 100 required hours.

Students are required to have an overall GPA of 2.5 on a 4 point scale for all pre-professional coursework. In addition, a minimum of “C”
grade must be earned in each prerequisite course, which includes all courses listed above except for courses listed as “COR or Gen Ed”.

CPR certification through the American Heart Association’s Health-Care Provider CPR course is required prior to acceptance in the UWHC
program, and significantly enhances your application if you have this experience prior to your application to UWHC in the Fall semester of
your Junior year.

Chemistry 120 or 121 sequence can be started at any time depending on math placement.
We invite Freshman students to consider the following courses to satisfy their GENERAL EDUCATION COR I requirement. The course
suggestions below are some of many COR I course options. They represent a variety of tag option to enable students to meet “Perspectives” tags.
New options for these courses become available each semester.
