Neal, M.D., Medical Director Description: The Radiologic Technology program at Weber State College is the only college based Radiologic Technology Program in the state of Utah. The program is approved by the American Medical Association and is affiliated with the following hospitals: Logan, McKay-Dee, St. Benedict's, Davis North, Lakeview, and L.D.S. The training is provided in an integrated manner through the utilization of on campus X-ray rooms, darkrooms, a radiation physics laboratory and clinical experience in Radiology departments of the affiliated hospitals. During the course 66 Allied Health Sciences Radiologic Sciences of training, anatomy, radiographic procedures and positions are taught. The student will participate in clinical education within the affiliate hospitals throughout the training period. Education: The program is 26 months in length beginning in the fall of the first year and continues through the summer of both years. The student qualifies for an Associate of Applied Science degree at the completion of the 1800 hours of clinical experience and satisfactory completion of the required course work. Admission Process: (1) declare major as Radiologic Technology, (2) apply for acceptance to the Radiologic Technology Program (this is in addition to the Weber State College admission application), (3) present a satisfactory high school and/or college achievement record (overall 2.0 grade point average), (4) complete the two quarters of pre-radiologic technology classes with at least a "C" grade. All the above steps must be completed prior to December 1st. Student selection is made during mid-Winter at which time all prospective students will rotate through each clinical affiliate at a time designated by the College faculty. This will enable each student and clinical affiliate to have a "voice" in the selection of the clinical site for the 1800 hours of clinical education to be completed along with the didactic program. EmploymentOutlook: After completion of the program, the student is eligible to take the National Registry exam for Radiologic Technologists. A registered technologist has many opportunities in a hospital, clinic, or any of the related careers of Radiologic Technology. Related Careers: Included in this area are: Industrial x-ray, medical radiography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, ultrasound, computerized axial tomography, and related industries, as product salesman, equipment repairs, equipment demonstrators, and manufacturer consultants.
