Radiologic technologists are important health care professionals who specialize in radiographic procedures and exams, helping physicians diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.
radiologic technology
The Radiologic Technology program prepares students to become entry-level radiologic technologists. Students develop technical skills in diagnostic imaging through classroom instruction, lab demonstrations, and clinical application鈥攁ll with a focus on real-world experience.
The primary role of the radiographer is to provide diagnostic images of the structure and function of anatomy to assist the physician in the treatment of injury and disease. Graduates are prepared with the technical skills necessary to perform a variety of diagnostic radiographic examinations. Examples of examinations performed include chest, upper and lower extremities, spine, ribs, skull, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and reproductive systems.
The 海角禁区 Radiologic Technology Program is an Associate of Applied Science degree program and is delivered to select Alaska communities throughout the state. Students who apply to a distance site must follow the same admissions process as those students applying to the Anchorage campus, including being admitted to the 海角禁区 as a degree-seeking student. Students who are accepted at a distance site attend classes on UA campuses in those communities through video conferencing. Distances students are required to attend an entire clinical practicum in Anchorage.
The admittance process is competitive and completion of the admission requirements does not guarantee selection into the Radiologic Technology full-major program. Upon selection into the full-major program, students will be required to complete five (5) semesters of radiologic technology coursework. For full application instructions, please review the program application procedure information.
