Read and evaluate current literature. A W S (1) RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY O. Lew Wood, Technical Director The Department conducts an approved Radiologic Technology program in affiliation with Cottonwood Hospital, McKay- Dec Hospital Center and St. Benedict's Hospital. The curriculum is designed to prepare competent and adaptable registered radiologic technologists. Candidates for the program are enrolled as pre-radiologic technology majors during the autumn and winter quarters of the freshman year. The actual radiologic technology majors arc then selected at the beginning of the spring quarter after each candidate has (1) presented a superior high school achievement record, (2) passed entrance and aptitude tests, (3) completed personal interviews with the Technical Director and the appropriate hospital personnel, and (4) completed the pre-radiologic technology curriculum. For details of the application procedure and the curriculum required, prospective candidates should con tact the Technical Director. The curriculum is twenty-seven months in length. Students are enrolled in the program each quarter (summers included) after official acceptance into the class (spring quarter of freshman year). At times other than during campus instruction, students are required to be in the hospital radiology laboratories gaining clinical experience. In addition to the intensive didactic instruction, the curriculum also includes a minimum of 2400 hours of clinical training. The Radiologic Technology major should comply with the college specific course and area requirements for the Associate of Applied Science degree. Students must complete the following courses prior to their formal acceptance into the official class spring quarter: Microbiology 111; Health Occupations 120 and 130; Chemistry 101; Physics 101; Zoology 201; Mathematics- a minimum of 101 or 105 or a score of at least twenty-three on the math pretest. Radiologic Technology 102, 104, 130, 240, 150, 151, 152, 153 and 154 are completed during the freshman year and 155, 156, 260, 265, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274 and 299 are completed during the second year of study. 332 Health Occupations — Radiologic Technology Students who successfully complete the Radiologic Technology program are awarded the associate of applied science degree. To become registered as a radiologic technologist with the American College of Radiology, individuals must complete the program and apply to the Registry for examination to verify their professional competence.
