The Radiologic Sciences program offers two advanced certificate programs for ARRT technologists to broaden their clinical experience and certifications. Completion of the required classroom, lab and clinical components with a grade of C or above will result in a certificate in the related track. Students may choose not to take clinical courses if they have access to the experience on their own to achieve the ARRT procedural requirements.
Computed Tomography Certificate
The
Computed Tomography certificate trains ARRT technologists to use radiation to produce cross-sectional images of a patient. The images are then used by a physician to make a diagnosis.
The certificate is a two-semester program that begins each Fall. Didactic classes are held at Brookhaven Campus on Mondays from 5–8:50 p.m. during both Fall and Spring semesters. Clinical experience begins in late September each year and requires 24 clock-hours per week.
Vascular Interventional Certificate
The
Vascular Interventional certificate trains ARRT technologists to use radiation and advanced patient care skills to produce vascular images of a patient. The images are then used by a physician to make a diagnosis.
The certificate is a three-semester program that begins each Fall. Didactic classes are held at Brookhaven Campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5–8:50 p.m. during Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. Clinical experience is eight clock-hours per week in the Fall semester and 24 clock-hours per week in Spring and Summer.
