Certificate of Accomplishment
To be eligible for the Certificate of Accomplishment, the student must have an Associate in Science degree in Radiologic Technology. A Certificate of Accomplishment will be granted upon completion of the program requirements.
Licensure
The Radiologic Technology Certificate of Accomplishment consists of two courses which are taken after earning their AS Degree. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) requires that both our AS Degree and Certificate of Completion be verified by the Program Director in order for the graduate to be eligible to apply and take the ARRT licensing exam. Listed below are the Certificate of Accomplishment’s course descriptions of both RTEC 216 and RTEC 328.
RTEC 216 - Course Description
This course provides continued development of clinical skills in the performance of radiographic examinations to include the chest, abdomen, upper and lower extremities, vertebral column, bony thorax, pelvis, cranium and facial bones. Emphasis will be placed on advanced contrast examinations and radiation protection of the patient, self, and co-workers, especially with the use of fluoroscopy and mobile radiographic equipment. Special imaging considerations for the pediatric and geriatric patients, the acutely ill, surgical and trauma patients will also be covered.
RTEC 328 Course Description
This course continues the development of clinical skills in radiography with emphasis in specialized radiography and new modalities. Advanced clinical practice experiences are designed to provide competent performance of radiologic imaging, using sequential development, critical analysis, and evaluation in the performance of radiologic procedures and patient assessment and care. Students perform independently with appropriate supervision to assess their skills for employability. This course also reviews the entire radiologic technology curriculum, following the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination outline, to prepare the students for State and National Certification examinations.
Students who complete the Radiologic Technology Associate in Science degree and Certificate of Accomplishment requirements are eligible to take the licensing examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) to become a registered Radiologic Technologist (R.T.). Upon completion of the ARRT exam, students are eligible to apply for the State of California, Department of Health Public Services, Radiation Health Branch, Certified Radiologic Technologist (C.R.T.) licensure and the Fluoroscopy licensure (C.R.T.), (R.F.)
