See attached files Chart for Assessment revised doc and Chart for Assessment doc. Radiography is the use of radiation to provide images of various body parts (bones, vessels, organs) and various body functions (digestion, circulation) to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of certain injuries and illnesses. Radiologic technologists (radiographers) are health professionals qualified to perform radiographic examinations ordered by licensed practitioners such as physicians, chiropractors, etc. Radiographers are responsible for the creation of medical x-ray images, the operation of radiologic equipment and the care of patients. They must also be prepared to recognize emergency patient conditions and initiate lifesaving first aid. The radiographer is ultimately responsible for providing the highest quality images with the lowest radiation exposure to the patient. As a key member of the health team, the radiologic technologist works with the radiologist by operating x-ray equipment and preparing patients for diagnostic x-rays. The technologist positions patients and exposes image receptors to create radiographs. Radiographs are x-ray images of internal parts of the body. They are used to help diagnose disease and injury, and reveal other significant medical information. The technologist maintains ongoing routine patient care and instructs and assists patients while performing radiographic examinations. He or she must evaluate patients clinical symptoms for proper radiographic demonstration of the anatomy and communicate with the patient to secure optimum patient cooperation. Duties include orienting the patient in proper alignment to the x-ray tube and image receptor, adjusting equipment to proper settings for each examination, cleaning and maintaining equipment, processing images and preparing and administering contrast media. Patient examinations are usually completed in hospital or office settings. Technologists also operate mobile equipment at the bedside. Technologists perform exams in many areas of the hospital, including the emergency room, operating room and intensive-care unit. Education for radiologic technologists is rigorous and includes classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The program and the profession are physically and mentally demanding. The clinical and classroom experiences during the summer and the sophomore year require approximately 40 hours of participation per week. This experience is primarily during the day; however, some evening experience is also required.

2 Program Overview: Radiography is the use of radiation to provide images of various body parts (bones, vessels, organs) and various body functions (digestion, circulation) to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of certain injuries and illnesses. Radiologic technologists (radiographers) are health professionals qualified to perform radiographic examinations ordered by licensed practitioners such as physicians, chiropractors, etc. Radiographers are responsible for the creation of medical x-ray images, the operation of radiologic equipment and the care of patients.

The clinical and classroom experiences during the summer and the sophomore year require approximately 40 hours of participation per week. This experience is primarily during the day; however, some evening experience is also required. Success Factors Students who are interested in human anatomy and have a strong background in science and math and the ability to communicate and work well with others will be the most successful in this program. Students entering the radiologic technology profession must have the following abilities in order to successfully complete the program. Students must be able to: 1. Lift and assist patients using proper body mechanics.

3 2. Safely maneuver all radiographic and fluoroscopic equipment as necessary for each exam. 3. Push and maneuver patients in wheelchairs and on stretchers. 4. Respond quickly and professionally to patients in emergency situations. 5. Communicate clearly with patients and other health care professionals in oral and written forms. 6. Understand medical records necessary for proper patient care. 7. Move and align the patient and equipment utilizing lights, lasers and signals to properly position for radiographs. 8. Stand for an extended time period and walk for long distances. be given reasonable assistance/accommodation in overcoming difficulties with these standards. However, there is no guarantee that all potential students will be able to successfully complete the program if unable to perform these actions. Accepted students are required to observe a registered radiographer and complete a self-evaluation regarding these abilities. Students concerned about the requirements should contact the program director and the UC Office of Disability Services for more information. Career Possibilities Associate degree graduates are prepared for employment in hospitals, medical centers, industry, physicians offices and public health. There is potential for advancement in areas such as computed tomography (CT), mammography, angiography (vascular imaging) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The full time salary range for new graduates is usually $35,000 to $39,000 per year, though salaries vary by geographic area and type of position. Support is provided to assist graduates in their employment search; however, the job opportunities in the Cincinnati area are limited at this time. Opportunities for employment vary by geographic location. Eligibility for the Certification Examination and Licensure Graduates of this program are eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists' (ARRT) certification examination. Certification is a requirement for employment in most institutions. Applicants for the ARRT are required to comply with state and federal laws. Conviction of a crime (with the exception of speeding and parking violations) must be investigated by the ARRT in order to determine eligibility. Applicants for the certification exam must also report violations or sanctions related to the academic honor code. A pre-application should be made to the ARRT ( in order to obtain a ruling regarding eligibility for the examination for those who have been convicted of a crime or violated an academic honor code. Licensure is also required in most states to practice as a radiographer. Graduates of the program qualify for a full Ohio radiographer license upon successful completion of the ARRT examination.

Feedback from technologists and faculty are used to guide students in this area. Student involvement in state and national professional organizations and attendance at professional conferences will continue to be promoted by faculty and staff. Applications for leadership opportunities for the OSRT and ASRT will be promoted and supported. Decrease in score was due to failure to identify different sources of CE. Increased emphasis will be placed on variety of CE opportunities available.

7 The student will demonstrate critical thinking skills based on professional standards. accommodate for non-routine and trauma patients. critique images for diagnostic quality. analyze the relationship between technical factors and image quality. REVISED clinical trauma competency (Clinical Coord/Clinical Assoc, trauma comp term) trauma lab scenario (radiography instructor, autumn quarter of second clinical year/summer semester of first clinical year) comprehensive image analysis exam (Clinical Coord, winter quarter/autumn semester of second clinical year) repeat case presentation (image analysis instructor, spring quarter of first clinical year or autumn semester of second clinical year) image quality concept map (radiologic science instructor, winter quarter or autumn semester of second clinical year) image critique assessment involving identification of the causative factors for poor image quality and corrective actions needed (radiologic science instructor, winter quarter or autumn semester of second clinical year) criteria to be determined upon revision minimum average score of 80% on first attempt To be implemented, U12 (F) for Class of (A10, S) 4.3(A11, S) 3.2 (S12, F) 4.4 (U12, S) 83% (W11, F) 82.5% (W12, S) 4.3 (S11, S) to be collected in A (W11, S) 4.4 (W12, S) 3.5 (W12, S) Met No No No Consider use of pediatric and geriatric competencies as future assessment tools for critical thinking. An increased focus on critical thinking and integration of key aspects of imaging i.e. SID, tube angle, part, position will be incorporated into the Radiography III course. Decrease in score for S12 due to early timing and less directed classroom/lab experience for learning. This will be reassessed during fall of 2012 following review during clinical orientation, additional clinical experience and reinforcement in Image Analysis lab. The reassessment during Fall 2012 proved to be of value as the goal of 4.3 on a 5.0 was exceeded. This assessment tool is being reviewed for validity. For future data, specific questions from the exam that directly assess critical thinking via image analysis only will be assessed. Clarification of DR exposure indicators and how to obtain them will be incorporated into the curriculum via the Intro to Clinical Practice, Image Analysis, and Rad Science courses. Increased focus on digital image qualities will be incorporated into Intro to Rad Tech, Intro to Clinical Practice, Radiographic Procedures, Image Analysis Lab, and Radiologic Science & Imaging courses as part of semester conversion course development. Digital concept map only will be assessed in the future. This assessment was newly implemented in W12. A new rubric was developed for this assessment. Collimation, centering, exposure and positioning were commonly missed concepts. These areas will be reinforced in the Image Analysis lab course under semesters.

8 The student will effectively communicate in a professional manner. communicate professionally in the clinical setting. demonstrate effective written communication skills. communication section of the level 4 clinical communication & patient care competency (Clinical Coord/Clinical Assoc, spring term of second clinical year) evaluation of a challenging clinical communication scenario (issues or capstone instructor, spring term of second clinical year) research-based project (intro to clinical practice instructor, first clinical term) research-based project (issues or capstone Instructor, spring term of second clinical year) 18 out of on a (S11, S) 19.7 (S12, S) 4.5 (S11, S) 4.5 (S12, S) 4.3 (W12, fresh, F) 4.5 (S11, soph, S) 4.7 (S12, soph, S) Met Use of scenario based audio recording to support development of communication skills was investigated but not implemented. More case studies will be used in the course for a practical application of knowledge. The application of HIPAA in everyday professional practice should be further emphasized. New measure was implemented. Librarian provided instruction on research strategies. Students wrote on HIPAA, radiation protection, back injuries or infection control. This will be used as a baseline score for future assessment. Topics will be expanded for spring Faculty librarian provided instruction regarding AMA formatting, the analysis of information vs. research, and plagiarism. demonstrate effective oral communication skills. patient care/professionalism portion of the lab competency (radiography instructor, final term of course sequence) 14 out of 15 points 14.9 (S12, fresh, S) Consider for future formative and summative following semester conversion. Overall communication was very good.
