XRAY 116 Clinical Education II

This course provides the student with practical learning experiences in all phases of basic radiologic technology through active participation in radiology departments at area hospitals and in classroom lecture. At the clinical site, students will begin to document proficiency with clinical competencies required for licensure and will learn how to analyze and evaluate radiographic images for overall quality. Classroom lectures expand on patient care, dealing with emergent situations and imaging outside of the radiology department. If a student’s clinical performance is unsatisfactory or if at any time the student’s performance compromises the safety of the patient, the student will be terminated from the program. Open only to matriculated Radiologic Technology students.
NOTE: The student is given either a pass or fail grade for this course with no quality points awarded.
