Adams, Coordinator Weber State College conducts an approved X-ray (Radiologic) Technology training program in affiliation with the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital and the St. Benedict's Hospital. The curriculum is designed to prepare competent and adaptable radiologic technologists. Individuals will not be enrolled as majors in the X-Ray Technology program until they have: (1) presented a superior high school achievement record, (2) passed entrance and aptitude tests, (3) completed personal interviews with the college coordinator and the appropriate hospital personnel, and (4) been notified of formal acceptance into the program by the college coordinator. Applications are accepted from January until September or until all class positions are filled. For details of the application procedure prospective candidates should contact the college coordinator. Registration is made both with Weber State College and with one of the affiliated hospital schools of X-Ray Technology. The curriculum is twenty-seven months in length, with a class beginning each September. Students are enrolled in the program continuously from the time of initial entrance except for two weeks annual vacation. At times other than during campus instruction, students are expected to be in the hospital X-ray laboratories gaining clinical experience. In addition to an intensive didactic instruction approach, the curriculum embodies a minimum of 3600 hours of clinical training. The program fulfills the requirements for training X-Ray (Radiologic) Technologists outlined by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and the American College of Radiology and approved by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association. The X-Ray Technology major should comply with the college specific course and area requirements and should complete in the freshman year: Microbiology 1; Zoology 20; Health Education 3; Chemistry 5; Mathematics 14, 18; Photography 1; and X-Ray Technology 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, and 27. In the sophomore year students should complete Physics 51 through 56, Psychology 1, and X-Ray Technology 7, 12, 13, and 20.
