Overview
The Radiologic Technologist Program (also known as Radiology Specialist, Advance Radiographer and Diagnostic Imaging Apprentice) will prepare graduates to function as entry level Radiographers in fixed and deployable medical facilities, performing radiographic procedures and related patient care duties under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to comprehend, apply, and evaluate information relevant to the role of the entry-level radiographer; technical proficiency in all skills required to fulfill the role of an entry-level radiographer; and personal behaviors consistent with professional expectations for the entry-level radiographer.
Accreditation or Related Information: The Radiologic Technologist program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) (WWW.JRCERT.ORG).
