Each semester students are assigned to a clinical practicum site by the Program in accordance with the NECC clinical affiliation agreements. Each student will be assigned to a minimum of two different clinical sites while enrolled in the program. Typically, students will spend three 3 semesters assigned to one clinical site and will rotate to a new clinical site in their second year of the program.
To meet the educational needs of all students the clinical assignments may be changed at any time as determined by the Program Director, Clinical Coordinators and Clinical Preceptors. Students may be required to travel up to 60 miles from campus to their assigned clinical practicum sites and must provide their own transportation. Additionally, radiologic technology students are assigned to clinical as outlined below:. Clinical Preceptors: Kathy Roche, R. R Donna Twombly, R. R M David Lesiczka, R.
Clinical Preceptors: Gabrielle Yonika, R. R Dawn Dowling, R. Clinical Preceptors: Kathy Pitocchelli, R. R Migdalia Martinez, R. Clinical Preceptors: Nancy Brine, R. R M Katlin Weiner, R. The number of students who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists ARRT certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation.
The number of graduates employed in the radiologic sciences compared to the number of graduates actively seeking employment in the radiologic sciences within twelve months of graduating. The number of students who complete the program within the stated program length. The mission of the Radiologic Technology Program is to graduate professional, skilled entry level technologists who meet and strive to exceed the healthcare needs of the diverse patient population in area facilities.
The technologists will be prepared to provide high quality imaging and patient care in the current evolving healthcare environment. Students will be able to apply knowledge in radiation safety practices. Emphasis is placed on radiation safety principles and procedures, as well as concepts and theory.
That knowledge is reinforced and put into practice through clinical experience in an area hospital. Theory is taught in logical sequence, guiding students through patient-centered activities related to producing radiographs. While in the program, students are given an opportunity to investigate other imaging modalities, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Many Radiologic Technology graduates continue their education, pursuing additional professional credentials. The mission of the Radiologic Technology program is to provide a high-quality learning environment, which will prepare a diverse group of Radiographers for the evolving workforce.
