Clock hours represent the number of hours that students receive face-to-face instruction in the classroom, laboratory, simulation, or clinical area. For every credit hour that students receive in instruction they are also responsible for time spent preparing for lecture, lab, simulation, and clinical experiences. Upon successful completion of the AHS or Pre-DMS program courses required by each certification, students are eligible to apply to take the certification examinations.
