Director: Peg Wherry Telephone: 801-626-6990 Uue to the distance between metropolitan areas and vast rural sections within Utah and the Intermountain States, the College of Health Professions established an Office of Distance Learning in 1974. This office has been assigned the role of extending quality educational opportunities for health care personnel into communities throughout Utah and the Intermountain West. In carrying out its operation, the office functions in three areas: (1) designing and delivering special educational programs to meet the unique needs of rural areas; (2) facilitating modifications of on-campus programs to be offered off campus in a nontraditional manner, and (3) providing continuing education conferences, courses and seminars. The Office of Distance Learning works closely with the Division of Continuing Education in creating programs, classes and opportunities to meet the needs of health care personnel.

Wilson Radiologic Sciences is a medical field that uses ionizing radiation, sound waves and magnetic fields to produce medical images for diagnostic purposes or to treat diseases by combining medical procedures with technology. The Radiography program is provided in an integrated manner of didactic instruction and the utilization of on-campus x-ray rooms, darkrooms, and clinical experience in Radiology departments of affiliated health facilities. During the course of the program, radiologic physics, anatomy, radiographic procedures, positioning and patient assessment are taught. The student participates in clinical education within the affiliate health facilities throughout the program. The program begins fall semester of the first year and continues through the summer of the second year. The student qualifies for an Associate of Applied Science degree upon completion of the general education requirements and the professional course work.
