Other times by appointmentCOURSE DESCRIPTION This course helps students develop the clinical and image analysis skills required to become a proficient radiologic tech.  Additional experiences in patient care and more complex procedures are provided, emphasizing trauma situations, fluoroscopic studies, and surgery.  Image analysis skills are also developed through classroom sessions. PREREQUISITES:  BIOH 201N, BIOH 211, AHXR 100, 121, 140, & 195-I & II  COURSE SCHEDULE:  Clinical hours vary each semester and with each site, and are specific to the type of clinical rotation. STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND GRADING Grades will be determined by clinical site evaluations, radiographic positioning quizzes and observation at the clinical sites, the completion of competency requirements in mandatory and elective categories, and attendance.  All surgical competencies are expected to be completed during this rotation. Additionally, 25 of the 31 required Mandatory Competencies and 10 of the 15 required Elective Competencies should be completed.  At least one written evaluation provided by the clinical site will be discussed with the student during a semester. These evaluations will assess both cognitive and affective progress in the clinical setting.  During the semester, at least two patient exams will be observed and graded by Clinical Coordinator at the clinical site. Criteria will include: knowledge of anatomy, image analysis, and a demonstration of the ability to select appropriate techniques, patient care skills, proper radiation protection, and the ability to make corrections when necessary.    The final grade will be based on:    Grading Scale:  competencies – progress 25%  100 – 90 = A  participation/attendance  25%  89 – 80 = B  site observations/quizzes 25%  79 – 70 = C  site evaluations   25%  69 – 60 = D  Note:  Students must pass this course with a “B” (80%) in order to still be considered a part of the Radiology Technology Program. *Syllabi are subject to change Academic Conduct All students must practice academic honesty.
