RA-610

Clinical Rotation III

This is the last of three consecutive 15-week clinical segments 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 the patients. Students will build on clinical competencies demonstrated in previous semesters and gain practice in computed tomography, angiographic/interventional procedures, bone mineral density (BMD) and mammography under the supervision of an MRT. Students must participate in quality control procedures. 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 practice patient care, image critique skills and continue to develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. The diagnostic quality of the images and student performance will be assessed. Students must achieve all required competencies and demonstrate the independent functioning of an entry-to-practice technologist. Due to availability of certain radiographic procedures, required competencies of RA 610 may vary depending on the practices of the clinical site. The student must be able to travel to and be responsible for the expenses of travel and accommodations associated with clinical rotations.
