RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY – A.A.S.

The Radiologic Technology Program prepares the graduate to assume the duties and responsibilities of an entry level Diagnostic Radiographer with confidence and ability. The Radiologic Technologist, as a skilled professional, and, as a member of the healthcare team, exercises independent judgment and critical thinking in technical radiographic procedures.

The Radiologic Technology course is a two year program with lecture and laboratory components provided at the College. Related clinical experience is obtained at area hospitals or health agencies affiliated with Trocaire College. In addition to basic entry level skills, the student also has the opportunity to observe the latest advanced imaging modalities. (Transportation to and from the College and/or the clinical affiliates is the responsibility of the individual student.) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Certification (CPR) is required for all students before a student begins the clinical component of the Radiologic Technology program.

Upon completion of the academic and clinical requirements, the graduate receives an associate in applied science degree, and is eligible to take the national credentialing examination for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (A.R.R.T.) (R) and apply for New York State Licensure.

Licensure: When a Radiologic Technology Student completes an application for New York State Licensure, the A.R.R.T. (R) asks about convictions of crime and pending charges. These questions appear on both application forms. If the answers are in the affirmative, particulars and disposition of each charge must be listed. A conviction is not an automatic bar to licensure and registry, however, each case is considered and investigated on its individual merits.

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to progress in program.
