Overview
The Radiologic Technologist program provides training in radiation physics, anatomy and physiology, theory and practice of fixed and mobile radiologic equipment, chemical and digital processing, and routine and special radiographic positioning. Simulated and/or live practice is provided for all routine procedures. Concepts and principles of computed tomography, mammography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, and sonography are introduced. Quality control and safety techniques are emphasized throughout the program. Instruction and practice in medical ethics, patient care, and a comprehensive pre-clinical review prepares students to transition to a clinical setting. Clinical training may occur at military or civilian treatment facilities which includes instruction in patient reception, quality control, and self-paced study for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam. Clinical rotations include operating room, routine and special radiographic procedures, mobile equipment exams, fluoroscopy, and other modalities (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and angiography) as available.
Accreditation or Related Information: The Radiologic Technologist program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) (WWW.JRCERT.ORG).

The ARRT will only accept applicants who have earned an associate’s degree (or more advanced degree) from an accrediting agency recognized by the ARRT. The degree will not need to be in radiologic science, and it can be earned before entering the educational program or after graduation from the program.
This program holds specialized national accreditation that is maintained through the Medical Education Training Campus (METC).
