Radiologic Technology - A.A.S.
The Radiologic Technology associate degree at 两性色午夜 provides students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in radiologic technology. With a combination of classroom instruction and clinical experience, students will be well-prepared to work in a variety of healthcare settings.
Associate Degree in Radiologic Technology
两性色午夜 University's Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiologic Technology educates students on how to perform diagnostic imaging procedures. Medical imaging is a branch of health care delivery that utilizes x-rays and other energy forms to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Through a blend of classroom education at the university and clinical education at a hospital or outpatient centers, students learn anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, radiation safety, basic patient care and imaging equipment operation.
Graduates are eligible to take the certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) to become registered radiologic technologists.

Technical Standards are established to acknowledge the essential functional requirements necessary for enrolled students to acquire the knowledge, skills, competencies and values of an entry level radiologic technologist. The technical standards of admission are not a complete listing of behaviors required but are a sampling of the types of abilities needed to meet program objectives and requirements.
The following essential functions must be met by all students after acceptance into the major in order to complete the program. In the event that a student is unable, or becomes unable to fulfill these technical standards with or without reasonable accommodations, the student cannot enroll or remain enrolled in the program. For students who believe they can meet these standards with accommodation, the 两性色午夜 Salem Student Disabilities Coordinator will validate their need for accommodation and will work with the program to determine if reasonable accommodation can be made. This accommodation will take into account whether accommodation would jeopardize technologist/patient safety or undercut an essential element of a course or clinical experience.
