This certificate program is designed for radiologic technology students who graduated from an accredited radiologic technology program and have been unsuccessful in passing the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) national board exam. This certificate program provides a pathway for graduates to become eligible to sit for the ARRT board exam.
Students review the ARRT content in radiographic physics and radiobiology, radiation protection, patient care, radiographic positioning and procedures and image production.
Upon successful completion of the certificate program, the graduate is eligible to sit for the ARRT national board exam. This program provides the remedial academic and clinical education required to sit for the ARRT board exam.
Prerequisites to enter the program:
- Graduation from an accredited Radiologic Technology program
- Have an associate degree
- Make separate application to the certificate program
Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate will:
- Function as a competent, technically proficient entry-level technologist who can apply and perform safe patient care radiation protection practices according to industry standards.
- Utilize safe methods to provide patients with minimized radiation dose levels during imaging procedures.
- Operate diagnostic imaging X-ray units to meet standardized protocols under the direction of radiologists.
- Exhibit professional characteristics required by the radiologic technology profession.
