An introduction to permaculture: a practice of designing systems, modeled from ecological relationships, that respects the land while serving its inhabitants. Topics include permaculture theory, innovative techniques, systems-thinking, and site assessment and analysis. (e.g. patterns of sun/shade, drainage, vegetation). Lab components include hands-on learning and technical skills through field work on campus, field trips, and design studio. Students apply these skills to a real design project and recommend appropriate permaculture applications such as perennial food production, soil regeneration, and integrated water management. NOTE: students who successfully complete a minimum of 72 class hours and the final design project will receive a Permaculture Design Certificate. Special Requirement: Field trips. Students assume any travel costs. Students must use garden hand tools and work in the soil of permaculture gardens.
Provides a correlation between nursing theory and clinical practice. The course explores the delivery of patient centered care in hospital systems, by using the nursing process, and evidence-based practice. The course emphasizes the interface between pathophysiology and nursing science in caring for the acutely ill, hospitalized client. Students may receive credit for NUR 201 or NUR 201A, but not for both. Special Requirement: Concurrent enrollment in NUR 201C
Expands upon pharmacological interventions and integrates patient management skills with medical and trauma situations encountered by paramedics. This course includes the pathophysiology and management of disease processes and shock-trauma conditions. It provides special considerations of neonatology, pediatrics, geriatrics, medical incident command and rescue situations. Students begin limited clinical experiences. Students receive PreHospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) certification and Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP-Advanced Life Support) certification upon successful course completion.
Provides student with practice of invasive skills and patient management under the supervision and direction of licensed hospital staff. Students attend one class meeting and produce a research paper based on clinical experiences. Students attend Pediatric Advanced Life Support seminar (off-campus) and receive Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification upon successful seminar completion.
A field-based introduction to ecological research methods and practice. Students participate in experimental design, data collection and analysis, and scientific communication through an immersive field research experience (e.g. terrestrial salamander ecology, invasive species management, ecology of vernal pool ecosystems). Students engage the primary literature and practice scientific communication through keeping a field journal and giving a final poster presentation. Students employ basic field techniques, discuss research ethics, and prepare for future ecological research and study. Special Requirement: Students must possess physical ability to traverse uneven landscapes. This class includes extensive fieldwork. Some scheduled class time will be used for field research with additional hours arranged individually. Interested students should meet with the instructor before registering to discuss the logistics of this course. Field trips. Students assume any travel costs.

Dofetilide, a class III antiarrhythmic, has good efficacy rates and is one of the best tolerated antiarrhythmic drugs in terms of its side effects profile. Importantly, dofetilide has also been shown to be safe for patients with cardiomyopathy, CHF, and ischemic heart disease. Therefore, dofetilide may be considered as an alternative treatment option to amiodarone. Like sotalol, dofetilide drug causes QT prolongation that may result in proarrhythmia and rarely death if excessive and is restricted to patients without advanced renal disease. Its use has been restricted by the FDA to certified prescribers and requires monitored initiation in a hospital setting followed by structured outpatient follow-up. Unlike sotalol, however, dofetilide does not cause excessive bradycardia and thus can be administered to patients without concern for exacerbating preexisting bradycardia. Dofetilide has many potentially lethal drug-to-drug interactions, including with many commonly prescribed antibiotics and antihypertensive drugs. Despite these limitations, many patients experience improved AF control with dofeilide with fewer daily side effects compared with other antiarrhythmic drugs. 2ff7e9595c
