CONCENTRATION COURSEWORK OPTIONS
The Clinical Concentration prepares qualified radiographers for advanced
skills in 1)cardiovascular interventional technology, 2) computed tomography,
and 3) magnetic resonance imaging technology. The Health Management Concentration
helps prepare radiographers for supervisory roles within the health care
environment.
Students receive a theoretical foundation in these advanced imaging specialties
and then select a clinical concentration and/or a health management concentration.
Clinical experience is obtained at local area hospitals throughout northwest
Indiana. Health management concentration course work is offered through
the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA).
Students may select from any of the following course to complete their
12 credit hours of concentration course work. Students interested in advanced
clinical skills are encouraged to enroll in the Clinical Concentration
courses. For every 1 credit hour of clinical course work, students spend
60 hours per semester in the clinical environment learning the advanced
skills. Students interested in supervisor roles are encouraged to take
12 credit hours of the health management concentration course work. Students
may elect to combine these to concentrations to equal 12 credit hours
total.
