The first semester of clinical education experience in a hospital radiology department. Placement is determined by the Program Officials. Regular meetings with CCSF faculty at the hospital to ensure appropriate progress in the clinical environment. DMI faculty will oversee all student activities at the clinical site.
Introduction to patient care to include patient and staff communication skills, body mechanics for safe patient transfer and radiation safety as it applies to the basics of time, distance, and shielding. Emphasis on ethical decision making, confidentiality, age and cultural specific differences, as applied to the responsibilities of the Radiologic Technologist.
Theoretical and practical application of exposure factors. Technical requirements in order to both produce and critique radiographic images for optimum diagnostic quality.
