Standard Four: Curriculum and Academic Practices

4.5 The program provides learning opportunities in advanced imaging and/or
therapeutic technologies.

Explanation:

The program must provide learning opportunities in advanced imaging and/or therapeutic technologies.
It is the program’s prerogative to decide which advanced imaging and/or therapeutic technologies
should be included in the didactic and/or clinical curriculum.

Programs are not required to offer clinical rotations in advanced imaging and/or therapeutic
technologies; however, these clinical rotations are strongly encouraged to enhance student learning.

Students assigned to imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance,
interventional procedures, and sonography, are not included in the calculation of the approved clinical
capacity unless the clinical setting is recognized exclusively for advanced imaging modality rotations.
Once the students have completed the imaging assignments, the program must assure that there are
sufficient physical and human resources to support the students upon reassignment to the radiography
department.

Required Program Response:

• Describe how the program provides opportunities in advanced imaging and/or therapeutic
technologies in the didactic and/or clinical curriculum.

Possible Site Visitor Evaluation Methods:
• Review of clinical rotation schedules, if applicable
• Interviews with faculty

• Interviews with students
