Radiography

A Radiographer works with equipment that generates x-rays to produce images of the body for evaluation and diagnosis of disease.  The Radiographer must be able to evaluate radiographic images, position the body to demonstrate anatomical parts, practice safe radiation rules and provide sound patient care.  In addition, the individual must be physically able to transfer patients from beds to wheelchairs, lift, push, pull and to move heavy equipment.

MISSION STATEMENT:

In keeping with the mission of the college, the Radiography Program's mission is to educate competent entry level radiographers to meet the needs of the ever changing, diverse and multi-cultural health care community, as well as continuing to expand their fund of knowledge.

 The program accomplishes this by integrating didactic and clinical instruction in facilities that are conducive to learning and providing opportunities for the advancement of technical skills.
