Most 怡春院视频 HSW students must complete clinical rotations for program completion.  These clinical rotations occur in clinical settings with clinical sites that have agreed to provide these educational experiences for 怡春院视频 students. In order to ensure the safest environment possible for their patients and staff, many of these clinical settings have included COVID-19 in their list of clinical clearance requirements, with limited exemptions available for students and employees. Because all clinical hours and/or clinical competencies must be completed to meet program requirements, this means you may be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination or have an approved exemption on file to enter and/or progress in the Radiography program. For additional information, regarding these requirements, please see the Health Sciences & Wellness Policies Handbook, Addendum and the Clinical Site COVID-19 FAQs.

• Evaluate radiographs to determine their acceptability for diagnostic purposes;
• Prepare and maintain radiologic reports and records;
• Respect the confidentiality of patients and demonstrate integrity, a motivation to serve and a concern for others.

If the applicant is unable to perform any of the designated tasks, upon request 怡春院视频 will make reasonable accommodations if these accommodations don't constitute an undue hardship on 怡春院视频 and that those accommodations do not interfere with the performance of any essential functions of a radiographer's duties.

All allied health students are required to submit a pre-clinical urine drug screen according to the policy of the Allied Health Programs at 怡春院视频. The drug screen is completed after a student's program acceptance and at the student's expense.

At their discretion, clinical sites may also require a drug screening and/or a criminal background check prior to allowing students into the clinical setting. (If required, any associated fees will be the responsibility of the student.) In addition, 怡春院视频 and the clinical sites may require random drug testing and/or drug testing for reasonable cause. Generally, the urine drug test screens for alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, or drugs that impair judgment while in the clinical agency. Testing positive on the screening or evidence of tampering with a specimen will disqualify a student from participation from clinical assignment.

In addition to drug screening, for the safety of patients and health care workers, allied health workers must also undergo a background check performed at the student's expense. The student's acceptance will not be final until 怡春院视频 has received background check information from the reporting agencies, and the background check is clear of disqualifying offenses. For more information, please see the complete School of Health Sciences & Wellness Policies for Allied Health Students posted on the school website. Certain criminal activities, as evidenced by a criminal background check, may also disqualify a student from clinical participation.

Students are advised that the inability to gain clinical education experiences can result in the inability to meet program objectives and outcomes. These circumstances may prevent acceptance into and/or progression through the program and may ultimately result in dismissal from the program.

NOTE: Applicants who have been convicted of a felony (or have pled guilty or nolo contendre to a felony) should request a copy of a letter concerning his/her eligibility status for licensure from the Wyoming State Board of Radiologic Technologist Examiners and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The Wyoming State Board of Radiologic Technologist Examiners can deny licensure if the Board feels that such denial is in the public's interest. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists can also deny certification for the same reason.

National Certification Eligibility

Graduates of the program are eligible to take the national certifying examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). The program's pass rate for this examination is very high; 怡春院视频 graduates have posted a 100 percent pass rate for more than a decade.

Immediate Employment

The majority of students are able to find employment in the field prior to or soon after graduation. Employment is expected to grow "faster than average" with an increase of almost 50,000 jobs by 2022 due to the aging population and increased demand for diagnostic imaging, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Fully Equipped Laboratory 

The radiography program's laboratory includes state-of-the-art imaging receptors and equipment, including a Paxis 200 Direct Radiography Digital U-arm imaging system. This system is totally filmless; once the exposure is made, the image appears on a computer monitor within four seconds. In addition, the lab is equipped with a PACS Network System and three C-arm fluoroscopic units. 

Effectiveness Measure	Annual Rate  (Class of 2023)	Five Year Rate  (2019-2023)
Credentialing Examination Pass Rate (First attempt)	8/8 = 100%	58/59 = 98.3%
Job Placement Rate (Graduates actively seeking employment within 12 months)	8/8 = 100%	57/57 = 100%
Program Completion Rate	8/9 = 88.9%	59/71 = 83.1%

The JRCERT has developed the following definitions and criteria related to program effectiveness outcomes:

Credentialing examination pass rate: The number of graduates who pass, on first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation.

Job placement rate: The number of graduates employed in the radiologic sciences compared to the number of graduates actively seeking employment in the radiologic sciences. The JRCERT has defined not actively seeking employment as: 1) graduate fails to communicate with program officials regarding employment status after multiple attempts, 2) graduate is unwilling to seek employment that requires relocation, 3) graduate is unwilling to accept employment, for example, due to salary or hours, 4) graduate is on active military duty, and/or 5) graduate is continuing education.

Program completion rate: The number of students who complete the program within the stated program length. The program specifies the entry point (e.g., required orientation date, final drop/add date, final date to drop with 100% tuition refund, official class roster date, etc) used in calculating the program's completion rate. When calculating the total number of students enrolled in the program (denominator), programs need not consider students who attrite due to nonacademic reasons such as: 1) financial, medical/mental health, or family reasons, 2) military deployment, 3) a change in major/course of study, and/or 4) other reasons an institution may classify as a nonacademic withdrawal.
