RA-410

Clinical Rotation I

This is the first of three consecutive 15-week clinical segments over a one year period in which the student will apply the knowledge and practical skills they have demonstrated in the didactic portion of the program curriculum to the radiographic examination of patients. Following an orientation period, students will gain practice in performing routine radiographic examinations. Although students are rotated in all areas of diagnostic imaging, emphasis will be placed on participating and performing examinations of the upper and lower extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles, spines, thoracic cage and abdomen. Students are expected to progress from observed and assisted to supervised, independent practice. Students in dual placements (District Hospital/TBRHSC) will complete a combination of General Radiography competencies and all CT competencies. Learners will interact professionally with all members of the health care team and adhere to the policies and procedures of the clinical partner sites. Learners will evaluate anatomy and positioning to determine if additional images are necessary. The diagnostic quality of the images and student performance will be assessed, with appropriate remedial action taken if necessary. The student must be able to travel to and be responsible for the expenses of travel and accommodations associated with clinical rotations.
