Program Mission Statement
The philosophy of the Department of Radiologic Technology recognizes the individual
as a whole person who moves toward goals of self realization and fulfillment.
The student is self directed, active, positive, and is responsible for his/her
own actions as well as the consequences of the actions. The department of
Radiologic Technology will provide the following:
- Occupational training in radiologic technology science. The purpose
of this instruction is to qualify the student for examination by the: American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the California Department of Health Services
and to prepare the student for gainful employment in radiologic technology.
- Students will be evaluated on knowledge, affective, and psychomotor domains
to include critical thinking and problem solving. Measurable objective tests
and clinical observation for competency will be utilized to determine student
progress. Role playing and simulation will enhance the student's learning
of radiographic positioning and image formation to include radiation protection
for both the student and the patient. Students will follow the master plan
of education which is listed in the college catalog. Radiology students
must complete the general education requirements for the Associate Degree prior
to the completion of the program.
- Clinical experience for the radiologic technology student is in a contracted
affiliated medical center under direct and immediate supervision.
- The program faculty will survey completers of the radiologic technology program
to facilitate program improvement. Graduate surveys will assess critical
thinking and problem solving skills to include communication skills and professional
development.
