This course is designed to introduce students to the clinical environment and provide them with the opportunity to interact with staff radiographers and radiologists to begin developing clinical skills. During this course students begin developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the clinical areas as they begin to perform examinations learned in the classroom and practiced in the laboratory setting. Staff radiographers directly supervise students during this practicum Staff radiographer evaluations of

This course builds on RAD107 as students become active participants in their clinical settings. During this course students continue to develop and demonstrate an increasing degree of competency in the clinical areas as they expand their positioning skills. Staff radiographer evaluations of students’ cognitive, psychomotor, and affective behaviors in clinical are one method used to correlate classroom theory to clinical practice. Learning is achieved in direct patient care through instruction, demonstration, and direct supervision.

This course builds on RAD206 as students become active participants in their clinical settings. This course is designed to provide second year students with increasing independence, speed, and efficiency in their positioning skills, and critical thinking and problem- solving abilities are reinforced. Staff radiographer evaluations of students’ cognitive, psychomotor, and affective behaviors in clinic are continued and used to correlate classroom theory to clinical practice. Learning is achieved in direct patient care through instruction, demonstration, and direct and indirect supervision.

This course provides a basis for analyzing radiographic images. Included are the importance of imaging standards, discussions of problem-solving techniques in relation to image evaluation and the factors that can affect image quality. Actual images will be incorporated for image analysis. Students will be able to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable quality of radiographic images and will make adjustments in positioning for optimal images. Students will also gain a 36 base knowledge for image evaluation criteria for various different projections.

Students in this semester are completing their program’s final clinical performance evaluations and preparing for graduation. For a student to graduate, all clinical performance evaluations, as well as all other clinical requirements, must be satisfactorily completed. Students who fail to complete the clinical requirements will have their program length extended until these are satisfactorily completed.

This course includes lecture and demonstration of all topic areas learned. It is an in-depth review of all in- class, and clinical site areas of study throughout the program. The intent is to prepare students to be successful in passing the national registry and become a Registered Technologist (RT). There will also be a strong focus on career planning and avenues that are available in the medical imaging field beyond the basic certification. EXAMPLES OF COMPANIES THAT HIRED HUNTER GRADUATES 37
