The Radiography Technology program trains students to take images of patients’ bodies using medical imaging equipment, such as X-ray, Fluoroscopy, and C-arm imaging.
Radiologic technologists provide medical providers the images needed to diagnose and treat injuries and diseases. In this program, students are instructed in classroom and laboratory settings to learn on-the-job skills, and then apply that knowledge in a clinical setting. Students will spend over 900 clinical hours completing 36 mandatory competencies, 15 elective competencies, and other requirements set by the ARRT.
Graduates of the Radiography Technology program are prepared to become ARRT licensed radiologic technologists, working in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers
UTAH SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION (USHE) DESCRIPTION:
In this program, students are instructed in the classroom and laboratory settings to learn on-the-job skills of being an x-ray tech, and then apply that knowledge in a clinical setting. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of healthcare settings including – but not limited to – hospitals, urgent care, and family practice clinics. The experience you will gain at your clinical sites will put you on the path to a successful career as a Radiographic Technologist.
