RADT 2785 - Clinical Radiography V

Credits: 6
Hours/Week: Lecture 0 Lab 0
Course Description: The final clinical course provides students with an opportunity to integrate and apply all previously learned clinical and academic theories in a practical setting. Students will perform all radiographic examinations with limited supervision in various clinical situations.  Students will assist with and perform radiographic procedures under the direction of a qualified practitioner at affiliated clinical sites.  State regulations regarding safe operation of radiation-generating equipment will be followed and proper radiation safety practices will be adhered to.  Students must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements. This course requires students to be concurrently enrolled in RADT 2060 .
