The mission of the Radiography Program is to provide each student with both the knowledge and skills needed to meet and/or exceed the minimum entry-level requirements to perform Radiologic Technology.
Upon successful completion, the graduate technologist will be able to perform as an effective, competent entry-level radiographer by:
- Applying technical knowledge gained through the study of anatomy and physiology, radiographic procedures and exposure, radiation protection and physics, image evaluation and patient care to best demonstrate the pertinent anatomical structures of the body area under study.
- Applying knowledge of radiation protection principles which will benefit the patient, self and others, when operating both mobile/portable and stationary/dedicated radiographic equipment.
- Establishing/maintaining sound interpersonal communication skills for communication with patients, co-workers and other health care members.
- Providing patients with high-quality care during the performance of any diagnostic radiologic procedure.
It is necessary to prepare students to assume the responsibilities of a radiographer, provide quality patient care and to contribute to their profession by a commitment to professional organizations and life long learning.
