description: This elective course will provide the student with an opportunity to relate what they have learned in the classroom and lab to a real world situation either at a place of business or at a technical college. Under the supervision of an experienced ASE certified automotive technician or their instructor, the student will obtain a greater admiration and appreciation of the material learned in the classroom and lab. The internship will also serve the function of bridging the lessons learned at school and applying that to real world situations. The suitability of the work setting will be determined by having a conference with the automotive instructor and the prospective employer. The student will have the option to take the internship program at an approved place of employment or at the college if he or she wishes and perform all the live work duties of the service writer, parts department personnel, and technician to include writing the repair order, ordering parts (if applicable) and repairing the vehicle. Student must work a minimum of 150 hours during the semester to receive credit for this course.

Topics include, but are not limited to: scrubbing, gowning, gloving, and draping; assistance with patient care; processing of instruments and supplies; maintenance of a sterile field; and environmental sanitation. In addition, introduces the development of surgical team participation through clinical experience. Emphasis is placed on observation and/or participation in routine procedures for core and specialty surgery. Topics include: general surgery (to include gastrointestinal), cardiothoracic surgery, otorhinolaryngologic surgery (ENT), ophthalmic surgery (Eye), genitourinary surgery, neurological surgery, obstetrical and gynecological surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopedic surgery, peripheral vascular surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and procurement/transplant surgery. The total number of cases the student must complete is 120. Students are required to complete 30 cases in the General Surgery specialty. Twenty of the cases must be in the First Scrub Role. Students are required to complete 90 cases in various surgical specialties. Sixty of the cases must be in the First Scrub Role and evenly distributed between a minimum of 5 surgical specialties. However, 15 is the maximum number of cases that can be counted in any one surgical specialty. Diagnostic endoscopy cases and vaginal delivery cases are not mandatory, but up to 10 diagnostic endoscopic cases and 5 vaginal delivery cases can be counted toward the maximum number of Second Scrub Role cases. Cases that are in the Observation role must be documented but do not count towards the minimum of 120 total cases.

Students complete a micro-credential when they meet standardized performance criteria associated with the application of a specific skill. Upon mastery of the competency, students receive secure and verifiable digital badges that can be easily shared with employers or attached to a digital resume on platforms such as LinkedIn. We can partner with the local industry to create employer-certified badges as well. These badges will serve as a marketing tool both for completers and for the institution.

  narrative: Columbus Technical College is now offering micro-credentials, which are short-term industry-recognized credentials that attest that an individual has achieved a narrowly defined, specific competency, experience, or skill. This innovative approach allows students to personalize their learning experiences to obtain just-in-time skills and experience to succeed in the workforce. Columbus Tech will partner with local industry and Ft. Benning to develop industry-recognized micro-credentials that will ensure students can enter, re-enter, or advance in the workforce quickly with the specific skills employers need now. Micro-credentials are a natural extension of the courses Columbus Tech already offers. Not only will these micro-credentials get students into the workplace more quickly, but they also will make students aware of other opportunities available at CTC when they want to pursue additional competencies or degrees. Micro-credentials are highly customizable, competency-based, and designed for just-in-time learning. They may represent stand-alone targeted training opportunities, or they may represent specific skill sets embedded within CTC courses and programs. The micro-credential project is a cross-division initiative involving participants from technical education credit programs, adult education programs, Training on the Go initiatives, and Economic Development customized training and continuing education.
