X-RAY TECHNOLOGY Weber State College conducts an X-Ray Technology training program in affiliation with the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital. The curriculum is designed to prepare competent and adaptable personnel in the field of X-Ray services. Individuals will not be enrolled as majors in the X-Ray Technology program until completion of the following: (1) presentation of a superior high school achievement record, (2) passing entrance and aptitude tests, and (3) personal interviews by the College advisor and the Dee Hospital X-Ray Department personnel and notification of formal acceptance into the program by the College advisor. The curriculum is twenty-seven months in length. Students are enrolled in the program continuously from the time of initial entrance except two weeks vacation each year. Registration is made both with the Thomas D. Dee Hospital School of X-Ray Technology and with Weber State College. Students are expected to utilize time not in actual campus instruction at the Dee Hospital X-Ray laboratories furthering their clinical experiences. In addition to an intensive didatic instruction approach, the curriculum embodies a minimum of 3600 hours of clinical training as outlined by the Council on Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association. The program is designed to meet the requirements for training X-Ray Technologists in an approved school of X-Ray Technology as outlined by the Society of X-Ray Technicians of the American College of Radiology and the American Medical Association. Persons desiring to follow the X-Ray Technologist program should comply with college requirements for the associate of science degree in basic communications, orientation, health education, humanities, physical education, and social sciences. In addition to these courses the X-Ray Technologist major should take in the freshman year: Bacteriology 1, 11; Physiology 1, 11; Health Education 3; Chemistry 5; Mathematics 14, 18; Photography 1 and X-Ray Technology 1, 3, 15, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 27. In the sophomore year, students should register for X-Ray Technology 5, 12, 13, and 20, and Physics 51 through 56. 162 Students who complete the preceding courses with sufficient elective credits to total 93 or more hours will be eligible for an associate degree in science from Weber State College. The associate degree may be awarded at the end of the second spring quarter of registration. However, professional requirements of the X-Ray Technologists society necessitate the en- rollee to train for an additional two quarters viz. summer and fall quarters of the third year full time in the Dee Hospital X-Ray laboratories and clinics.
