Through a combination of hands-on learning experiences with inpatients and outpatients in clinical education, students attain an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the principles and practices of radiologic technology. Students benefit from using state-of-the-art digital imaging equipment and working side-by-side with radiologists and experienced radiologic technologists.
