XRAY206 — Clinical Education IV
Through classroom lecture and clinical rotations, this course provides students with knowledge and learning experiences in the practice of radiologic technology, enabling them to develop the proficiency needed to complete the clinical competencies required for licensure. Students will transfer to their second clinical site at an area hospital, where they will be exposed to new equipment, protocols, and techniques. During the course of the year, they will attend limited rotations at orthopedic and pediatric centers.
