Lab/Clinical Contact Hour Description
In the Surgical Technology Program, one clinical semester hour of course credit will be presented as 48 hours of clinical/lab activity over the term of the course. For example, for a semester-length 16-week course, one clinical semester hour of credit requires three hours of clinical/lab activity per week (for 16 weeks). For a half-semester, 8-week course, one clinical semester hour of credit requires 6 hours of clinical/lab activity per week (for 8 weeks). Course faculty may offer individual schedule variations.
