Radiation physics & safety

314 hr · $5,880

Competency course in Radiation physics & safety for the Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology program.

Competency course in Radiation physics & safety for the Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the skills lab and clinical site, measured against scope of practice, infection control and the state board rules. Students assess, perform and document real work in Radiation physics & safety and keep a clinical log signed off by the instructor.

Why it matters. In Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology, radiation physics & safety is not a chapter to pass through but a skill an employer will pay for on day one; every credential exam in this program tests it directly or assumes it. The course runs in skills lab, against scope of practice and infection control, with the clinical instructor as the standard of judgment.

How the course runs. 12 blocks of about 26.2 hours: orientation and safety first, then the tools and the vocabulary, then the standard that governs the work. Guided practice becomes independent practice; measurement and inspection teach the student to judge their own work; the fault lab teaches what failure looks like before it happens on a job. A timed production run and the documentation block close the loop, and the course ends with the written exam and the observed skills demonstration.

What competent looks like. The student can explain radiation physics & safety, set up for it safely, perform it to the standard within time, spot and correct what is wrong, and write it up so that a stranger could verify the work.

Equipment QC

313 hr · $5,860

Competency course in equipment QC for the Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology program.

Competency course in equipment QC for the Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the skills lab and clinical site, measured against scope of practice, infection control and the state board rules. Students assess, perform and document real work in equipment QC and keep a clinical log signed off by the instructor.

Why it matters. In Limited X-Ray / Radiologic Technology, equipment QC is not a chapter to pass through but a skill an employer will pay for on day one; every credential exam in this program tests it directly or assumes it. The course runs in skills lab, against scope of practice and infection control, with the clinical instructor as the standard of judgment.

How the course runs. 12 blocks of about 26.1 hours: orientation and safety first, then the tools and the vocabulary, then the standard that governs the work. Guided practice becomes independent practice; measurement and inspection teach the student to judge their own work; the fault lab teaches what failure looks like before it happens on a job. A timed production run and the documentation block close the loop, and the course ends with the written exam and the observed skills demonstration.

What competent looks like. The student can explain equipment QC, set up for it safely, perform it to the standard within time, spot and correct what is wrong, and write it up so that a stranger could verify the work.
