Campus Facilities

In general, students begin by learning the academic theory in the classroom. Then, they apply those principles in the laboratory setting and are evaluated during simulated procedures. Once they have demonstrated their competence in the simulated procedures, the students are ready to begin their clinical experiences where they will be working with real patients.

On campus, the students begin by discussing the procedure and reviewing the radiographic anatomy.



After the group discussion, students move into the laboratories to practice the procedure. In the photograph below, one student is the patient while her classmate is practicing the positioning for an X-ray series of the left hand. The photograph also shows the equipment in X-ray Room 1.

In the mammography laboratory course, students have "hands-on"  experiences with different mammographic units.



The ultrasound room is used by students for "hands-on" experiences with either real patients or students simulating patients.
