Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Radiologic Technology Degree program, the learner will be able to:

Goal: Graduate students who possess the clinical competency of an entry level radiologic technologist.

1. Position patients for radiographic examinations. (RAD110, 140, 270)
2. apply principles of radiation protection for the patient, self, and others. (RAD 100, 220, 160, 180, 200, 240, 280)
3. Identify and perform basic patient care skills and techniques. (RAD170, 230)

Goal: Graduate students who communicate effectively.

4. Practice effective written communication skills. (RAD100, 150, 220, 260)
5. Employ effective oral communication skills. (RAD160, 180, 200, 240, 280)
6. Use appropriate interpersonal skills and communication in the clinical setting. (RAD160, 180, 200, 240, 280)

Goal: Support students in the development, application, and integration of critical thinking and problem solving in the practice of radiography.

7. Evaluate medical imaging procedures independently and recommend technical modifications to ensure diagnostic quality. (RAD160, 180, 200, 240, 280)
8. Determine exposure factors to achieve optimum radiographic procedures consistent with minimizing dose to patients. (RAD120, 135, 150)
